I gave birth to my baby in June 2022. I did so much research, and a hypnobirthing course to prepare, with the goal of having an unmedicated physiological unassisted vaginal delivery. Things didn’t exactly go according to plan, lets just put it that way. Here’s a video of the labour and delivery..

My takeaways..

1. Early labour lasted 4 days

2. Active labour was faster and easier than I expected

3. Delivery became very scary very quickly

4. I didn’t get the golden hour postpartum experience I wanted, and I’m sure I’ll always grieve that. But me and my baby are alive and healthy and I’m very thankful for that.
