Brittney & Kim Testimonial about Isis Hypnobirthing
We welcomed our baby boy, Finn Luca Dero, on 2 December at 9:17am. He weighed 2.925kg (6lbs 7oz) and is healthy and happy. We are in love.
My water broke at 12:30am on 1 December and contractions started normalizing at about 2:30am.
Our midwife decided to send us to the hospital because of the early delivery (37 weeks). We arrived at the AMC at 2am.
We finally got checked into a room at about 3am and from there it started to move fast.
The surges were coming very frequently and I could feel Finn moving down.
We kept the lights very low and were often left alone, just the two of us. Kim supported me the whole way through.
I practiced surge breathing with long deep slow inhales and exhales.
At about 8cm I felt like I couldn’t go on, but I knew it I had to. I kept focusing on the end being near. I visualized my entire pelvic area opening wide to allow baby to travel through.
I labored standing up the entire time, until the very end when it came time to push.
I ended up laying on the bed and grabbing my hamstrings to leverage pushing. It was the best position for me.
After 3-4 strong pushes, he was out and on my chest.
It was an amazing experience. I’m really glad I decided to do it naturally.
My recovery has been very good and after birth I was already able to be up and showering and caring for my new baby.
I think the course helped prepare me for the experience. I felt I knew what was happening to me body and I practiced keeping calm and loose. It was also beneficial for Kim who knew how to support me throughout the whole experience.
I couldn’t have done it without his encouragement.
