Hypnobabies Week 4

Hypnobabies week 4 lesson discussed all about birthing time. What to do in early birthing, getting your birth partner(s) involved, what to pack for the hospital, signs of the beginning of birthing time, and the logistics of the birth. Most of this was sort of review, being a second time mom.

The hypnosis part of the lesson was to continue the "Eyes Open Childbirth Hypnosis." and taking it another step. I am now learning to direct anesthesia to certain places in my body: cervix, back, etc. My husband is now starting to be more involved by reading me scripts a few nights before bed. (We've been slacking in this department and need to get going!) I am still listening to the Twin Affirmations every day. I also practice putting myself into hypnosis 5 times a day.

We had our specialist ultrasound, and they could not confirm anything in regards to the Boy's spina bifida. They had the same reaction to the first ultrasound that revealed it. Could be nothing, but if it's something, it's mostly likely spina bifida occulta.

This ultrasound did show both babies breech! OH NO! So I am looking into spinningbabies.com for ways to help the babies get a chance to move. I will begin to swim and am looking into seeking chiropractic care. I so hope they will turn to where the first one is at least head down!!!! PLEASE BABIES!!!

I've started having some occasional leg cramps at night. They are BAD BAD. My husband says it sounds like I'm in labor. lol. My doula recommended Blue Bonnet Calcium, so I am waiting for that to arrive in the mail. It seems to happen on days where I've been really active, so I think it's a sign for me to start taking it more easy!

Besides the leg cramping and occasionally tired, I'm feeling well. I'm just anxious to get these babies in the right position.
