I used HypnoBirthing to have my baby. There is a relaxation exercise in the class where mothers are encouraged to decide what it will be that they will feel with each surge. I chose ecstasy. Women are so suggestive in labor. During a late surge my husband, who was holding me, suggested to me to feel the orgasm of it and I did and that was what the intensity I felt was. It was a wonderful intimate time full of sensation. It was a private home experience and that had a lot to do with it as well.

“Births of most women in the United States are pushed and pulled along by multiple medicinal procedures and drugs. All too often, this is a harrowing experience. When women’s innate, hormonally driven capacities are supported, they can instead have powerful, ecstatic and life changing birth experiences while avoiding adverse effects of the interventions. Orgasmic Birth reveals these essential truths.” Carol Sakala, Director of Programs, Childbirth Connection
