How often are you/did you practice hynobirthing?

My husband and I took our hypno class fairly early in the pregnancy - I was 25 weeks when we started.  Since the class ended we have had A LOT going on, including selling our house, moving in with the in-laws temporarily, buying a new house, and getting ready to move into the new home a week before my LO is due!  Needless to say, I have not been practicing nearly as much as I know I should.  I'm now 35 weeks.  I don't think that practicing every day is realistic, but I am shooting for every other day.  How often does everyone else practice?

I took the hypnobirth class for my last pregnancy. I am 30 weeks tomorrow and I just took out my book and CDs yesterday. I plan to do it often. I think every other day is a good goal to shoot for, the more you do it the better. If I were you, I would hit it heavy so you can really set your mind for the task ahead. We just moved too and I have a hard time removing myself from the stress of it. Good luck!

I didn't practice very much at all and I didn't really use the techniques during labor.  That being said, I am still very happy I went through the class.  It was a great learning experience for both DH and I and it helped a ton for him to understand the reasons I wanted to med and intervention free.  Between that and the yoga classes I took...I was completely relaxed and calm during my labor and was able to have the birth experience I wanted.

The more the better, but I think every other day should be enough.  I think I probably did about the same, though on the days I did practice it was for 2 hours or so.

I pretty much get my affirmations in everyday and my hypnosis sessions with the CD every other day. I am definitely not doing my light switch 5 times a day, but I'm hoping to increase that as I get closer and closer.
