I did Hypnobirth during my second pregnancy; I needed to come to terms with my unpleasant first labour and give myself the best chance of achieving a VBAC.

Making peace with my first labour was an integral part of my positive attitude for the second one, along with the highly beneficial breathing techniques.

Although I was unsuccessful in a vaginal birth, I fully credit the healing experience my anaesthesia free labour and inclusive ceasarean was to the skills I learnt in the classes.

I wish we had thought to contact Robina and Cathryn while I was in labour, we think their input was the missing link.
