Hynobirthing rocks! |

Katherine,
All I can say is wow. Hynobirthing rocks! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had an induced labour (waters being broke and then an artificial drip) and for 12 hours it was marvellous. No need for pain killers (and I wasn't being heroic). My dad was my birth partner and our practice together made us the perfect team. I totally zoned out, and felt very empowered and happy. Your positive birth statements were always in my head. The most important thing for me was not knowing how much I was dilated. This was proven at 11 hours when the doctor (who completely supported hynoborthing as his wife had carried it out) had to tell me that I was still only 4 cm dilated and they were concerned for the baby's health. Eventually I had an emergency c section and although a few tears when I found out and I then had some gas and air as my zone collapsed. But it was still perfect. As soon as I accepted that a c section was our way and it was best for my daughter, dad and I went into hynobirthing again and did breathing and calm positive thoughts. It was totally perfect and I am awe of its power. Having a few problem breast feeding (v sore nipple) so have ordered your breastfeeding cd and have been to see an NCT counsellor. But I just wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you. A few photos of my beautiful daughter below. Clare x The marvellous Ailsa (born on the 5th June, 4pm, weighing 9Ibs 10ozs and was 55cms long). She is just perfect. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Birthing News
The Government policy that all healthcare professionals have indemnity insurance has been on hold for several years, pending an enquiry. That enquiry, the Finlay Scott Review began last year and has now been published, and recommends that indemnity insurance should become mandatory for all healthcare professionals, and be a requirement for registration.
As independent midwives are included in the group of ‘those for whom the market does not provide affordable insurance or indemnity’, the Departments of Health will decide if this service is necessary, and if so, devise a way of overcoming this issue.
If the Departments of Health fail to see the necessity of independent midwifery, then there is a chance that it will become illegal in the near future. If you see the value in personalised, high quality, independent midwifery care, then we need your help in alerting the Government to this need.
If you agree that it would be terrible to lose this choice, please could you send an email to your MP and copy it to the relevant Department of Health (follow the ‘read more’ link for more information), and also print and send a hard copy? We have drafted a letter here which you are welcome to use.
