There's a blog i always follow asking on labor breathing technique, so I figure, let's share the hypnobirth way!
well, there's three types of breathing.All to be used at the different phases of labor.
First - the relaxation breathing. This is used, well, as the name recommends, to relax. Aside from when contraction hits, or delivering the baby, this type of breathing is to be used at all times.And best of all, this can be used well after labor. In your everyday life, when you are tensed, feel that temper raising, horrible bowel movement while waiting for your loo turn (heheheheh), use this technique
Technique : breathe in through the nose while quietly counting from one to seven (macam kira satu saat, dua saat tiga saat), then breathe out through the nose again, while quietly counting from one to seven. the key here is to focus on the counting. This helps distract you from the pain.
Second - while having contraction. Once you feel a contraction coming,use this breathing. It's a very slow breathing, and requires practise. It is best to practise 4 weeks before your EDD.
Technique : breathe in through your nose, while quietly counting from one to eight, the VERY, VERY SLOWLY release (breathe out) while quietly counting from one to TWENTY. When I first started, by the fourteen count dah habis dah breathe out semua udara. hahaha that's why one must practise this technique earlier. But, do not cheat and hold your breath semata2 nak sampaikan kiraan 20 tu. you must slowly release the air. This technique makes your body totally relax n lembut, so you will not clench or keraskan your body when contraction comes. Bila badan keras contraction becomes even more painful. So dont grab that bed railing (or your husband's arm ahahha), instead lembutkan badan and relax, slowly breathe sampai contraction passed.
Birth partner/husband's role : husband's can play their part in this technique. Discuss with your husband what signal to use to show you're having contraction. Cuit tgn ke, tepuk tilam ke.so he will know what you are experiencing at the moment. try not to talk, because this takes your energy and distract your concentration. Husbands can then help by counting 1-8, then 1-20, to help you to stay focus and back on track. Having assistance like this help prevent you from 'losing it'
Third : when pushing the baby out. Really, this one is the trickiest as it is opposite from what hospitals practise. In hypnobirth, you are recommended to breathe out the baby, and not use your might to push out. But, best follow your doctor since I am not a liscenced hypnobirth trainer. Still, I shall share the method anyway.
Technique : breathe in while quietly (dalam hati) counting from one to seven. Then breathe out quickly as if you are breathing the baby out. This also requires practise, and best part is, the only almost real situation when you can practise is when pooping. hehehhe infact, when you are done delivering the baby, this technique can still be used everytime you poop! hahahah! When you are on the toilet seat feeling an urge to pass motion, breathe in counts of eight, then breathe down! this way, your body is relaxed and not stiff/clenched, so passing is easier.
This works,really. go try.hahahah
nota kaki : i wouldnt recommend holding your breathe at any time as oxygen supply is crucial to keep baby calm and oxygen sampai to baby's brain. I also wouldnt recommend breathing through the mouth as it tires you out faster and tekak/mulut cepat kering.pastu dahaga. Also I wouldnt recommend breathing in gulps of air, because it makes you kelam kabut and breathing tak smooth. I feel that steady and consistant breathing helps keep baby calm and relaxed, so dia lahir pun relax saja tak marah marah.
InsyaAllah, practising hypnobirth breathing shall ease the delivery process by a mile, and help you stay relaxed and calm. You wont even remember to ask for epidural, because you are too busy focusing on your breathing, counting, and trusting your body's ability to birth naturally.
Good luck dear ceeramoon. May Allah Swt Makes it easy for you.Amin.

My birth story : my first born Part 2
Lets continue from where we left off
The doctor insisted on giving me pitocin despite my objection. He said its not an option since the baby has already pooped.
I was then strapped to the ECG machine. I had asked to let me walk around because I dont want to deal with the contraction lying down on the bed.
The doctor refuses since my water was already broken.
I had no choice but to go through contraction on the bed. So I chose the best option available, laboring on my left side. they nurse did ask me to turn on my back for VE and delivery and boy did it hurt! Im telling you, labor on your side .i dont know how women endure contraction on their backs!madness!
I then asked husband to get the nurse to teach him to read the ECG lines so we can be left alone and husband would know should the baby gets stressed.
At this point the pain was about a minute apart. The nurse offered me Pethidine to which i quickly said no. I wanted my baby to come under no effect of painkiller whatsoever.
So we were left alone and had our mcD bubur ayam n nuggets in the labor room.best gila doctor was so cool x kisah kitorang makan2. and i listened to surah alquran on the mp3. hypnobirth tip:listen to relaxation music that u have been listening over n over/familiar with. you will get the cd along with the book. only i chose to listen to surah alquran that i am familiar with and has been reading over n over. which is surah maryam. husband felt smart and downloaded a different surah in the mp3.i swear i was so angry at him.tip:please remind your husband to follow instruction and dont simply decide for listening material during labor.he's not the one popping babies ye!
at one point the pain was so intense i was sure i was at least 6 cm dilated. Called the nurse and ask her to do VE, although initially i did not want VE and even the nurses did not insist on it. but i was a bit mental at this point hahahah
and she said i was 4cm on.four? just four? heck, bring on the pethidine!i said.
i do regret taking it tho cos the pain didnt lessen one bit!
At some point the pain was intense that i lost track of my breathing so husband stood beside me the whole time, guiding my breathing and applying pressure.he just stood there for hours! while at the same time checking the baby's heartbeat. i tell you.that guy is a great birth partner, no question!
Well, I was birthing on my own when the nurse came in and saw baby was already crowning. i was fully dilated.So she alerted the doctor and pleaded me to push the baby out before the doctor came and force me to push. now, i did not want to push until i really feel the urge.I was relaxly breathing the baby down.
I remembered reading somewhere that once you start talking and thinking craziest thoughts, Most likely youre fully dilated.true enough, that was my cue. hypnobirth suggest you not to talk to save energy. so i had this crazy thought in my head. Looked at my mom on my left (yes, besides husband, my mom was there with me the whole time too.yay!) and thought how could she do this for ten times! and looked at my husband, if i hadnt slept with him this wouldnt have happened! why did i do this to myself!why didnt i just opt for ceasarean!why didnt i take epidural!hahahahah im telling you.those were the pain talking! dont believe any of it.but dont brush it aside either, cos thats actually your cue to being fully dilated! but most importantly dont talk cos itll definitely take energy out of you.
At 2.45 the doctor came in, chewing gum, no less! Ask me to quickly push the baby out "lemas nanti!" i lost my hypno what not, pushed, felt the ring of fire, got episiotomy, which hurt like hell despite people "tak rasa pun", and at 2.47am the baby came.
it was kelamkabut towards the end that i forgot to ask the doctor to let husband cut the umbilical cord. I didnt even get to bond with the baby straight away cos she was put under observation due to the pooping. oh but husband (super birth partner yooo!)held the camcorder the whole time and took the labor and delivery video. the doctor was so cool allowing us to record!
I asked the doctor to be released the same day but he insisted i stayed another day since my 2 day one night package wasnt yet used up.pffft. i hate hospitals.regardless how comfortable!
oh and the best part was turn out baby was perfectly fine. she was not stressed at all the whole time and came out relaxed. Baby didnt cry straight away and the doctor didnt mind. no smacking of the butt and all. i guess as long as she was breathing fine, shouldnt be a problem.
was discharged the next day, and mommyhood began!

My husband, on giving birth
The other day my husband asked his heavily pregnant sister
"bila kau bersalin ni"
"lima minggu lagi"
"beg dah siap x? mana beg?taknampak pun"
"dah siap.tinggal nk letak dlm kereta je"
"dah bersedia belum"
"besedia apa"
"nak bersalin la"
my SIL was confused with the question, so i quipped, i have already given her the hypnobirth book
" kau baca buku tu, jgn tak baca"
"memang la tgh baca pun"
"baca buku tu, jgn nanti nak panic tak tentu pasal"
you see there, you see there?
no uterus whatsoever, but a true hypnobirth advocate hahahaha

My birth story : my first born!
This is the story of the day i gave birth to my girl, Maryam. It is written in the hope that expected moms can get a bit of info on how the process went for me. Of course bearing in mind that it's different for every mom and every birth. Although, seeing that my story is a rather uncomplicated delivery, maybe there are moms out there whos stories are almost the same as mine!
I managed to get transferred back to JB from Putrajaya on the 32nd week of pregnancy. Was told off by my gynae for driving long distance in such advanced stage. But like I said, I had a fairly easy pregnancy, so my guard was down. and thanfully nothing bad happened along the way!
I was kind of hoping that baby would come 2 weeks early, for i was tired of being pregnant and anxious to meet the baby, and anxious to practise my well trained hypnobirth breathing technique hahahhahahaha
The doctor told me on my 38th week that its already save should I give birth anytime now since the baby has fully matured. He said I can pick a date I like and he can induce the delivery. i get the baby early and still get the normal delivery I wanted, on the date that I like. But of course, I said NO. I wanted a natural birth, so natural birth it is. The baby will come when her time comes.
So I went back home and to work and waited. the hospital bag was already in the car, all packed!and truth be told, I only got the bag and everything ready on the 38th week, despite my mom's contant nagging that everything should be done and ready by the 28th week!
so my mom came from Ipoh on Friday, with my youngest brother, Hassan. I took them out to the market for food supplies since we'll be staying in JB for a week after birth.
On saturday, woke up to no signs of delivery, was disappointed. i did not experience any braxton hicks at all throughout pregnancy so I know no contraction means no signs of delivery. So I made nasik goreng for breakfast, wash the dishes.I couldnt sit still. Im afraid I was most active during pregnancy, and lazy for the rest of my life!hahahaha
At 8.30 am, I felt the first ever contractionnnnn! I knew right away it was contraction since I have never felt anything like it before. And besides, saturday was my EDD!
At the time, the gap between the surges (contraction) were about 40 minutes apart. They were consistent, and then became 30 minutes apart. i was so excited. I knew this was it. The thing about hypnobirth practising mothers, i feel, is they are more relax eventhough its their first because hypnobirth explains the way your body works. So you trust your body and its natural ability to birth you baby.
At 3 pm the bloody show came. I was so excited. Showed to husband. He said okay. Even he was relax after all those giving birth lectures I gave him! Since my husband was going to be my birth partner, I have been training him on birth process, my breathing technique and his part in the whole thing.
The surges grew stronger but was not unbearable thanks to breathing technique.
I decided to go to the hospital only after Isya'. So around 9.30 pm off we went to the hospital, not before stopping at McD for a drive through.
By the time we got to Hospital Penawar Pasir Gudang which is a mere 10 minutes drive away, surges were 2-3 minutes apart, but i held my cool hahahahah. I knew if the pain is still bearable, then its still a loooong way to go. And boy was i right.
Got sent straight to the delivery room. I was the only one giving birth that night. How nice. The nurse inserted the poo poo pill and we husband and i went to the loo for business. Then doctor came and said he has to break my water bag. I told him no, no, I want to go natural. He said no can do. Since Im past my EDD, he's worried if the placenta is able to hold on. Like he said it "at 40 weeks,placenta you ni dah tua,kalau orang, dah bejanggut ni.takut unable to supply oxygen well so we must pecahkan the bag, to quicken the birth process"
I gave in. He broke the bag with the hook thing and his first reaction was
"Allah, you tengok air ni color apa"
I got panicky. Turns out baby has pooped. I asked the doctor what color was it, and he showed me.It was only yellowish. I knew if its not green, theres high chance baby pooped because her system has matured, and not due to stress.
The doctor even mention csect at some point, but I refuse "oh no doctor! mahal mahal!"
ahhahahah that's just me, being a cheapo in every situation, dire or not!
husband almost gave in saying lets just csect if we have to.
oh, try cut YOUR belly open yourself! senang la cakap!
and besides I read somewhere that the scare was should the poo(meconium) gets into baby's brain, or lungs, not if swallowed through the mouth (kindly seek REAL medical advise. this is only for sharing purposes)
The doctor gave in and said to monitor her heartbeat and should baby's graph shows any sign of stress at all, then off to the operating table with you!
Hey this is rather lengthy. Lets continue in another entry!see ye!

Hypnobirth
Hey people!
have u heard of hypnobirth? well, u should! because hypnobirth will get you asking epidural whatttttt?
ha best gila my line, i belong in advertising.not. anyway, i lovvvveeee hypnobirth so this is a must share topic!
Lets see. how does my love story with hypnobirth begins?well, i was then pregnant and naturally started reading up on birth experience. true enough, most of the stories revolve around birthing being super painful, how epidural is a lifesaver, the works.
Now, I am such a wuss and have low tolerance to pain. I wanted to claim super low tolerance but i know there are poeple who are worse than me out there, so lets settle for just low.hahaha
so, I was starting to include epidural cost in my hospital budget. I was so sure im going to resort to epidural!
And then one day, a true wuss that i am, i googled PAINLESS BIRTH. If there's anyone out there who has done this before.then, hypnobirth is definitely for you.For i can imagine how scared u are of childbirth. mana la ada org begitu berharap n penakut gila n desperate smpai google such impossible key words kan.
that's how i came across hypnobirth. i read it up n contacted the only Malaysia practitioner, Soo Wai Han. u can find her at www.hypnobirth.com.my. It was March. I delivered on the 1st of may. Alhamdulillah it was in the nick of time! I had enough time to practise n prepare!
Wai Han's classes are only available in Selangor, so i had no choice but to buy the book. I had 1 months plus to train myself with the hypnobirth technique. I was so into hypnobirth and natural birth. I even wanted to deliver at home. hahahah But since this is the first experience, i opted for hospital.
I managed to train DH since he's going to be my birth partner.We practise breathing, massages, discussed signs of delivery and such.
As much as i love the book, Im sure attending the class would be much much much better.
But i find the book super helpful, nonetheless.
Hypnobirth basically belief that u are able to control the level of pain u are experiencing through relaxation n breathing techniques. Come to think of it, how do you think some people gave birth quietly in the toilet, that even the person in the next cubicle was unable to tell?
As a matter of observation, DH keeps telling me he does not get how other mother's birthing experience is so scary when mine was easy. I almost smacked him. Trust me, it might look easy and undercontrol to people around you, but was it really. NO FREAKING WAY. and thats the beauty of hypnobirth!
So i suggest u prego women who are unable to attend the the class to get the book from the website! super empowering!! expecially you penakuts out there!hahahah
ok toodles!later: my birthing experience!

the greatest birthday gift ever : a baby!
I would love to share the story of how we found out we concieved. i have been reading on ttc forums n blogs like forever hoping i would one day have a story to tell.
and Allahuakbar, i did.
it was the holy month of Ramadhan of 2010. my family and i was going to see my brother off to the U.S to study. We gathered at my uncle's place at bandar putra mahkota (ok im not so sure now but its close to KLIA). DH couldnt make it cos of work. I was expecting aunt flow anyday cos my cycle was pretty regular. At noon there was a light spotting. Light brown in color n really small. there she is, i thought. so i broke my fast in the middle of the day, and ate up my niece's kfc hahahah..well, tak boleh puasa kan, then why not?!
so we all went to the airport to wave him bye bye n later than night, i was puzzled as the spot didnt grow.it was just like when i first noticed it. so i bathe, did my prayers and fast the next day. mom was asking me how come ur praying n such. well i said i dont know, the darned thing stopped.
and i waited and waited and the excitement built cos hey no period!!!
so on the fifth day aunt flow was expected, at lunch hour, i went to get the hpt n test right away at the office loo. the second line appeared right away and grew darker.
i was laughing in the loo. so excited n nervous n the fact took time to set in.
since we only saw each other on weekends, so its quite easy to tell the day of conception.
turned out it was a couple of days after my birthday.
Happy birthday to me, thank you Allah, and 40 weeks later, hello my love!
turns out my mom kind of guessed it. of course she would.she's been pregnant n gave birth TEN times!
and Allahuakbar, i did.
