The Business of Being Born used to be on Youtube, but they recently removed it  

Business of being born and More business of being born are on netflix!!!

I was just watching the newest one yesterday!

I just decided to try netflix for free since everyone said it's on there.. I haven't watched the second one yet, but I've got to say.. Love netflix!!! Had Hulu before & that sucks compared to Netflix, lol

I got an track on my phone for hypnobirthing... I loved it for going to bed at night but in labor, when the pain was really bad, I hated it. I've heard it is awesome for people that it works for.

Quoting Stephanie Sodders:" Ohh, okay.. I would much rather try the chiropractor & everything 1st"

I had an ECV on my first. It didnt work, but he turned breech at 39 weeks so he was pretty large at the time.

it says i cant get netflix in NZ :-(

Hellloooo ladies! I use to post in here when I was pregant with my second..he turned breech at 41w1d..my OB wouldn't turn him..or give him time to turn back down..so I had a repeat c/s.

This time..I'm looking into midwives. I'm aiming for a hba2c.

Awesome, welcome back!

ok so finished my hypnobirth book and listened to the cd. Very easy to relax to but when i'm in the middle of a surge, i dont know if i can zone everything out enough. I sense my hubby is not as on board with this as i am, hes making hypnosis gags and such. Trouble is we are on our own out here and i have noone else so if he wont help me then i'm on my own and alot of this technique relies on your birth companions prompts, massage and support. i am so desperate to avoid the hospital and its interventions but i'm scared. With counseling, i'm beginning to work out some stuff and have really positive thoughts about this birth. I have 22 weeks roughly to get my head into a good space and i truely believe i can, i just wish i had more family and friends around

I'm planning a home birth, and I honestly don't want anyone other than my DH there.. I did ask my SIL to watch DS though, and she was a great back massage-er the 1st time around. I guess I kept asking for her, because DH was too afraid to hardly touch me & it didn't help at all!!

I would try getting a doula. If your DH isn't going to be supportive of the fact that you want to do Hypnobirthing, then I would try to find someone else for support. I know here in the states, a lot of doulas in training will offer their services at a reduced rate or even free because they need the experience in order to get certified...so maybe try looking in your area for someone like that or calling a midwife and seeing who she would recommend. I thought about hiring a doula myself, but truthfully I'm very lucky to have an amazingly supportive partner who knows just how I need to be touched when I'm in pain...and also knows when to back off if I need him to.

Anyone heard from (TantricLemons)? I saw she posted she was in labor 16 hours ago and I was just wondering if she might have messaged anyone in here. I really hope she got her VBAC!
