I did the Hypnobabies home study course as well and actually did the whole thing. (I always was a teacher's pet...) And, yet, during the birth, it wasn't the hypnosis techniques I relied on. It was just the calm assurance that all would be well and that I was strong enough to handle whatever the labor sent my way. (42 hours of back labor, home birth-turned-hospital transfer, and an almost 12-pound baby in the end -- aw, yeah!) There's no way I would have remained so calm without the Hypnobabies background. The midwives and nurses all commented on how bizarrely peaceful my husband I both were throughout it all. Despite that, I felt kind of like a Hypnobabies failure, because I hadn't utilized all the hypnosis techniques. But your post has made me decide to let go of that, to appreciate what it did give me, and to feel assured that I took from the course what I truly needed. I will heartily second your recommendation of Hypnobabies AND support for other birthing mamas! Having my husband on board the Hypnobabies wagon was so important for keeping me centered through it all. If he had panicked, I would have lost it! And my midwives were so respectful. Oh, it's so funny — I actually was going through a rough moment physically last night and used my hypnosis techniques to relax! I fell asleep just after. So they can still come in handy later on. I'll stop babbling now. I found you through your guest post on Mommy News Blog, by the way. Loved it! Ah, thank you for putting this so well!
