Hypnobabies Course Helped Stacey Achieve Home Birth

When did you realize you were really in labor?

I had a hard time determining when I was really in labor. I had a couple days of prodromal labor. In the middle of the night the second day I was tapped out emotionally and knew I needed my midwife there regardless if I was in active labor or not. She was gracious and showed up. I then felt confident today was the day and I was going to meet my sweet baby.
What was the most challenging thing about going natural?

Mental battles. Having to constantly remind myself I could do it.
