Key Takeaways:
- On December 6, 2014, I had the delightful experience of giving birth to my daughter. I decided to deliver at home, in water and in my daughter’s bedroom. She was born in just under eight hours, from the very first contraction to holding her in my arms.
- I had an undisturbed birth. No medical assistance, no drugs. It was a natural process, as women’s bodies have been designed to give birth. I used some essential oils for my lower back pain and to activate the contractions.
- So I started to do some research. I watched many positive water birth videos and various documentaries on birth, read and practiced hypnobirthing techniques, attended a BellydanceBirth workshop, practiced prenatal yoga (I have been practicing yoga and mediation for the past 10 years), had some pregnancy massages, did some acupuncture, did an osteopath session, made love with my husband, walked, took ocean swims and did everything that made me feel amazing to prepare for birth.
