I feel like I am totally hogging this forum! But I do have so many questions...At your suggestion (SnuggleBuggles, was that you?), I read "Easy Labor" last night and it was incredible. I feel so much more aware of all my labor options now.
I want to use a combination of natural and medical pain relief. Until I am able to get an epidural, I am interested in laboring in water and/or using self-relaxation/hypnosis techniques, like Hypnobabies.
Do anyone have any experience with this program? It seems to get better online reviews than the original Hypnobirthing program, and I prefer the idea of self-study. I'm willing to spend the $150 on Amazon for the program, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has used this and would be willing to share their experience?
