“Being healthy but over 40 and having gestational diabetes, I was told I would be induced at 39 weeks. Having known two friends whose placenta's started failing at 40 weeks (one resulting in a stillbirth) I was ok with the decision to be induced. I was positive and knew I would work with my body, baby and medical staff (including great midwife). I have also been practicing hypnobirthing from another source other than here to get my mind ready. Listening to the first episode of Kathryn Clark's Hypnobirthing, made me feel like a failure, and that I would not experience any positive aspects to birthing and that essentially I was settling a degraded experience. I think some of the ideas in this podcast are helpful, others are unthoughtful, naive, and potentially dangerous.”
