BIRTH STORIES Kendra, Trevor & Lily

Trevor with Lily

"Lily was born Monday, at 8:24 a.m. All natural, healthy Hypno-Baby! Kendra was absolutely amazing!!! 3 a.m.… Kendra felt some pressure. More of a "menstrual cramp" type of pressure. Her waves were 2 mins. apart! But she was so relaxed. We went to the hospital. She had her headphones on : ) and the nurse looked her over and said Kendra was 2.5 cm, and (you are not going to believe this) "If you were really in labor, you would not be so relaxed." I laughed when I heard it. She was going to send us home! Because her waves were so close together and Kendra's explaining that they were pretty intense actually, she asked us to walk the halls for an hour. 6am … About 35 mins. into the walking Kendra's waves got pretty intense. She'd stop and hang on me and I'd say, open ... open ... open ... Release. And then after a few times it happened. Kendra vomited (is that a word?) and her water released simultaneously. Wow! Then I ran and got the nurse and into the room we went. Kendra listened to the fear release and deepening CDs. She was very relaxed and quiet. At 8 a.m. the nurse came in, and I told her that Kendra felt "pushy." This same nurse that almost sent us home said "Don't worry, she's got a while to go." A new nurse came in about a minute after and said "You're at 10 cm and I can see the head! Kendra pushed for 5-10 min and there Lily was! Kendra went from 2.5 cm to 10 cm in an HOUR! Lily was fine, Kendra was healthy and I was in shock : ) We didn't even get a chance to use the birthing ball (I carried that thing in with pride). We are home now and Lily and Kendra are doing fine. The Hypnobaby-birthing was a success! We are so grateful that we found your class.
