Elisia’s Positive Hypnobirth: Calm Strength Through PROM & Induction
Birth Story by Elisia, Positively Hypnobirthing Mum
“I ended up labouring until 5cm with no pain relief except for a Tens machine and breathing… then got to 9cm at about 6:30pm.”
We actually ended up welcoming a baby boy into the world on the 30th of October 8:35pm!
My waters started leaking on the Wednesday night at 6:30/7:00pm. From there we went to bed and I woke up at 1:30am starting to have contractions. Laboured through the night and then Steve contacted the midwife about 7:30am thinking I was much further along 🤣. We met her at the hospital about 9am. And she assessed me to only be 2cm, but looked like meconium in there as well, so i had a few hours to see how I progressed and then I had to be induced to speed up the process. I ended up labouring until 5cm with no pain relief except for a Tens machine and breathing. At that point being about 3pm I asked for gas and then got to 9cm at about 6:30pm. He was then born at 8:35pm! Had a few 2nd degree tears, but otherwise everything went well. Thank you for your class! Steve definitely benefited from it and really helped me through the whole time. Helping me get back into it when I was saying I couldn’t do it. He was amazing. Elisia Xx
