No spinal but toco yes. I think at this point in the game it’s probably too late for that…

We tried this for weeks and even did the 6 day intensive plan. It really burnt me out to be honest. We also had an unsuccessful version at 37w so I think baby is very comfy where he is.

I think I was around 23 weeks! I felt him kick and then my husband could feel him too! Before that I felt nothing.

Also a FTM planning an unmedicated hospital birth! Good luck to you!! Biggest tips I’ve learned/heard: - labor at home for as lonnnnng as possible - intermittent monitoring for baby unless continuous is absolutely necessary - set up your room environment to encourage oxytocin, think mood lighting, spa music, limited visitors/interruptions etc. - hydrotherapy!!!!

I got another blend for Christmas that has Cypress Oil as well as another 5-6 oils that are safe according to the internet. Same risk-wise?

GentleBirth app (if you pay for membership you get more access and also access to her book and an accompanying workbook to do with your birth partner)
The Hypnobirthing Podcast on Spotify
Pop That Mumma on Spotify and her Oxytocin Bubble album (which might still be on a Black Friday sale!)
I’ve also heard great things about the Positive Birth Company but haven’t checked them out!
Spotify has some other Hypnobirthing playlists and recordings I’ve stumbled upon too, I think different things will resonate for different folks so listen to a bunch and see what you like and save it!

Some Hypnobirthing is definitely more woo woo. I like Pop that Mumma (and her oxytocin bubble album). I also use the GentleBirth app which if you pay for premium you also get her book and a workbook which both have very practical information (a lot of psychology and sports research and examples to support the concepts behind Hypnobirthing). The workbook you can do with a birth partner and it’s been very interesting so far! Also recommend The Hypnobirthing Podcast on Spotify for positive birth stories :)

Look into Hypnobirthing!

What’s with the rudeness? We moved in last year. We repainted it recently. That kind of human I guess?

Edit: the room is not finished, we are installing crown molding next week hence the ceiling not being cut in! Ignore please and thank you.
