relaxation session ---updated, i have just got back-----

[BeckyJ]

i have a relaxation session tomorrow from 2-3.30pm at the hospital

has anyone been to one of these? what should i expect? are they worth the trip?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


i have just got back from the session and i would say it was worth the trip

always nice to meet mums to be in the same situation as you and to discuss any niggles you may have

the breathing techniques were good and i was so relaxed at one point i nearly fell asleep!!!

lets just hope it works like that when the real thing happens

if nothing else it has made me feel a lot more chilled out about labour so im pleased we went

Let us know what its like and how you got on when you get back tomorrow!!

i might as well go, its something to do in the afternoon and this is my 1st baby so i need all the help i can get!

 

[mummysarah+co]

Im on my 3rd and i can still do with all the help i can get!!

I had 2 fast labours but for some reason im expecting this one to be a lot longer so any advice or tips are all welcome

Anyway it'll pass some time in the afternoon and then give you something to talk about on here afterwards!

we did a relaxation session with the physio during an antenatal class, it only lasted about 15 mins though.

she got all the ladies to lie on mats on the floor with loads of pillows supporting us till we were comfy, then she read out instructions on how to relax every part of our bodies, it was really good i could have fell asleep after it

hope you enjoy it hun
