Welcome to baby Mackenzie...
Blythe's story
Hi Katherine,
Blythe here from your Hypnobirthing classes from Tuesday nights in January at Annandale. Just wanted to let you know - Murray and I had a little baby girl - Mackenzie Lily
6lbs 7ozs and 48cms long
10th Feb (10 days early)
She is just beautiful (picture attached).
I have also attached a picture of me breathing through a surge. This position was great for me as my back really ached. The midwife at the Mater was very supportive of my hypnobirthing and actually assisted me.
We had a WONDERFUL birth - the hypnobirthing was fabulous for us.
My water broke at 3.30am on Sat morning - I started my breathing and then headed to the hospital at 5.30am.
I breathed through all the surges and visualised waves.
The pushing started at 11.15am and she was born at 12.30pm.
I did not need drugs and I did not tear. The midwives thanked me for such a calm, lovely birth. Murray was a huge help - reminding me to relax and breathe.
It was hard work (especially the pushing part) but I felt very in control and very calm.
One midwife even visited me the next day and said "I knew you were going to have a great birth as you were so calm and happy when you came in at 5.30am".
Mum did make it to the birth – she didn’t have to do too much as Murray was a wonderful help – kept me focussed on my breathing and also kept me motivated when I would start to wonder if the bub was ever going to appear. She loved it though – dad then appeared as soon as she was born, so it was a real family affair. Very very special!!
It was a BEAUTIFUL experience and as a result, we have a gorgeous, happy little girl.
Thank you soooo much and feel free to share my story - no one ever likes to tell "good" birth stories - well I do!!
Take care
Blythe
