I Wish Everyone Could Have That Kind of Loving Experience....
A Hypnobabies mom who contacted me shortly after her birth in 2011 wrote me a wonderful note and has given me permission to share it with you. Several things happened that might have thrown a less well-prepared family off-track -- baby had to be induced; baby had to be monitored constantly; because of high-risk condition, doc insisted on no food. Still, Cyndi and George used their Hypnobabies training and had a quick, healthy birth! The note she wrote moved me to tears:
"It was a fantastic experience. Thank you for being such a good instructor. Your 'pelvis' really came in handy for visualizing my pelvis opening. The image of the turtleneck cervix action was also awesome. I visualized it a lot during my practice with the CDs and also during the birthing.
"I wish you many, many more Hypnobabies! Hopefully everyone we met at Glendale Adventist will come to you or refer their friends and families to you. Couldn’t have done it without you!
"I’m still using the finger drop to relax. I even re-wrote some of the joyful pregnancy affirmations in my head to help me recover quickly. Ha ha ha.
'A fast recovery is natural, healthy and safe for me and my baby!'
'My uterus shrinks to its perfect size every day.'
"I can’t tell you how much in love I am with Lucia. She was so good to me coming into the world. Birthing was such a fantastic experience. I wish everyone could have that kind of loving experience. I so don’t get it – all those horrible stories and jokes about birthing. It doesn’t have to be that way!"
