This is a great birth story from a couple who attended a The Calm Birth School Hypnobirthing Course with Ruth Warrilow of Flora-Lily Birth School covering areas across Chester.
Creating a birth environment that makes you feel safe, comfortable and relaxed is so important. π
βWe took our time to make sure I was in in the most comfortable position and personal touches like my snuggly blanket from home made such a huge difference The breathing techniques were really helpful and also having had the conversations with my husband about how communicate if I thought I was struggling, for example, saying him I need to help guide my breathing. We worked through some different hypnobirthing tools like the comb. Then after a couple of hours things felt more intense without without much of a break because of the induction.
