I wanted a non-medicated birth because as a science geek I did my research when pregnant and came to understand that epidurals contain powerful drugs that DO get into the baby's blood stream and DO affect newborns in significant and not fully understood ways. After my research I knew that I wasn't willing to risk my baby's welfare for temporary pain relief. I had also used self-hypnosis for sports performance in the past and knew it worked, so I decided to try it. The hypnobabies homestudy course really worked wonders for me.In some ways the thing I liked most about Hpynobabies was that it doesn't dictate that your labor will be a certain way or that you have to use certain techniques. Like several other reviewers I found that the tapes were incredibly useful at some parts of labor (during early labor and transition) but that I just turned them off when it was time to push because I wanted to be fully present and follow my gut feeling about what to do. I also found that the descriptions of how it would feel were very accurate sometimes -- and not at all at other times! But even when things didn't go as planned I felt that I had been provided with the tools to handle things with serenity and confidence and have as fast and easy a labor as was physiologically possible. In the end (because my water broke early and I had several days of exhausting 'pre-labor' before things kicked into gear) I had a long tough slog that required great endurance and tested me to the limit. But from the moment when I took the leap of faith, set my anxieties aside and truly started USING those self-hypnosis techniques I can honestly say it was pain-free. Or more accurately it was good pain.
