My birth experience was all good. Saskia arrived 2.5 weeks early, weighing 7.4lbs after my water breaking, then contractions started the following day, my labour was 6 hours in total. I used gas/air and focused on the breathing that HypnoBirthing taught me. My husband said I was not screaming or overly vocal, and it was the most fantastic thing we have done as a couple.
She is the most wonderful little baby and sleeps for 12 hrs solid every night from about 3 months old. She is a calm and relaxed baby, and we feel incredibly lucky to have her. I am not sure just how many kisses she gets from us each day.
