It was a three day struggle and one which ended in an assisted birth in hospital. I have never been so tired and relieved something is over. G was amazing but faced with a catalogue of complications with both her and the baby, not least pre-eclampsia, the baby was born vaginally with the help of ventouse. I would still like to thank you though as the only times we felt in control and relaxed was when I was assisting G with your hypnobirthing techniques and reading scripts from our folder with relaxation music on in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was lots of interest in the hypnobirthing but we managed to keep out unwanted distractions until complications happened. Everyone loved reading our birthing plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You taught me the confidence to speak out for what was right for G and saved her from an episiotomy when I was able to request the ventouse be used without a cut. Sufficed to say G birthed vaginally with NO rips or tears and no stitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So no home birth and no peaceful intervention free birth but sometimes events conspire against you and you just have to go with what you can get.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You taught me the confidence to speak out for what was right for Gemma.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1810,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-partners-view"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/birthright-hypnobirthing.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/birthright-hypnobirthing.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/birthright-hypnobirthing.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/birthright-hypnobirthing.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/birthright-hypnobirthing.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1680"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/birthright-hypnobirthing.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1680\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1746,"href":"https:\/\/birthright-hypnobirthing.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1680\/revisions\/1746"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/birthright-hypnobirthing.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/birthright-hypnobirthing.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/birthright-hypnobirthing.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/birthright-hypnobirthing.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
