hi all
have been lurking for a week now just fascinated by this childbirth forum, thank you so much for making me excited about birth with your positive stories- think they are invaluable!
im 20 weeks with my first and planning a homebirth with lots of support from dp and mum who will be with me. we r borrowing a friends pool too so im all set up. im doing lots of pregnancy yoga with a woman who is from the active birth movement, learning about positions etc for stages of labour.
kind of feel that i want something more in case i need it though, and i came across lamaze as v popular in US. but i can hardly work out what it really means from the site! is it just breathing techniques and if so can i just get that from my (good) yoga teaching? or is it more mental training a la hypnobirthing? and if so, is it better than hypnobirthing? it seems so widespread in the US but hardly mentioned here... any advice really welcome as i need to book some sort of antenatal soon and as for NCT- just feel like they would be too negative and medical after all the empowering things ive read here and in the yoga/active birth world.
ta! RY x
