Natalis Hypnobirthing Description
ABOUT ME:
My Name is Natalie I am a Registered Midwife with 10 years experience and work at Cheshire East Trust on the Labour ward. I am also a mother of six beautiful boys and qualified Hypnobirth practitioner.
MY STORY:
As a labour ward midwife I have had the pleasure of being involved in many different births, the ones which never fail to impress me are those who have practiced hypnobirthing!
To care for someone and have to concentrate to identify when they are actually contracting as it's not obvious is amazing, these women are so calm, focused and utterly in control.
I love it when women tell me they are ready to give birth, instead of the other way round! These women really do know their own bodies - you can too through the inspiration of hypnobirth!
I turned to hypnobirthing following the birth of my fourth son who was born 7 weeks premature via an emergency Caesarean section for distress. Previous to this I'd experienced normal births and in this instance felt robbed of my labour and birth experience.
Determined to promote normality and calm for my fifth birth, I turned to a good friend who taught me about hypnobirthing. It was the best thing I ever did!
I am totally convinced that I wouldn't have woken up until I was ready to give birth if my sleep hadn't been disturbed by my then 3 year old son who was ill in the night. I was woken by him three times to attend to him and on each occasion I was aware of moderate to strong feeling contractions about 3-5 minutes apart. On each occasion I listened to my scripts and practiced my breathing and fell asleep.
Eventually my son was sick, at this point I needed to stay awake and I realised my contractions were now 2 minutes apart so contacted the hospital. I was surprised to be 7 cm dilated on arrival and after 45 minutes in hospital and two puffs on gas and air, baby no. 5 entered the world ! It was amazing! I would love to know at what point I would of woken if my son wasn't ill on that night.
As a midwife I am convinced that hypnobirthing is better than any epidural that I have ever seen - through my classes I would love to be able to show and teach you all of the positive benefits that this process can bring.
