Hey ladies, how are you doing? Anything new to report? What disc are you listening to this week?

I had an ob appt this week, where I asked a ton of L&D questions. My hospital's "birthing center" should just be called L&D because my options are pretty limited =( Once my water breaks, I have to be in bed, and I have to deliver on my back. Feeling a bit defeated, but I am still going to go for it!

Morning! Dh and I are considering a home birth to avoid any hospital-imposed complications. Kind of late in the game, but it feels right

Have a great Sunday!

Wow - I've never heard of a birthing center that makes you stay in one position. That does seem more like a hospital than a birth center. I want a home birth but DH is still too nervous. I'm not going to argue with him though because he's being pretty liberal about other things he's not completly comfortable with!

) Luckily we are able to have a MW in a hospital and they are pretty good.

good afternoon ladies (or good morning if you live on the west coast). I'm ending my first CD this week. I keep falling asleep and waking up at the end of the CD. I hope I'm retaining the knowledge that I need. Maybe I'll try listening to them during the day instead of at bedtime.

Sorry to butt in - but what CD are you referring too? I've only been reading books and am hesitant to purchase a CD. Recomendations anyone?

i'm still on disc 1. I haven't been doing the reading. last night i listened to my extra track for sleeping easier. I turned it off halfway through because it was keeping me awake! I'll probably go to bed early tonight and read the workbook.

I bought another CD for my DD - Toddler sleepy time, ro something like that. She loves it and asks to listen to "the lady" every night before bed. She has STTN the past few nights, but I don't know that I can contribute it to "the lady" yet! lol

if it makes you feel any better i did my hypnobirth in the bed, on my back and it was totally fine. i had planned on laboring in a tub and moving around too but things progressed way too quickly for that.

Same here. I was kind of surprised, but it was really how I was most comfortable. I asked the MW whether I should switch positions after about an hour of pushing, and she said no, it was working, and don't rush it.

I think it is odd that they would *make* you stay that way, but it was fine for me.

I love the "Rainbow Relaxation" and the "Positive Birthing Affirmations" from Hypnobirthing. I think you can buy them from the website. We got ours from the class. Anytime I feel any type of anxiety about birthing, I just listen to the Affirmations and I feel so calm and excited again.
