Now in my new wonderful life with baby I find the time to tell about our birth with Reiki:
We came to the hospital with a ruptured bubble on the night of January 22-23. At that time I was not in labor…we spent the day in the hospital and nothing happened. I was then opened that the birth will be induced after 24h after a rupture of the membranes. Suddenly I panicked because I did not want artificial induction…everything should happen naturally…short and painless…after all, that’s how I had addressed it with our baby in my belly! So I called my sister and asked her to send me Reiki for the birth. I mean it was around 4:00 pm.
She did and lo and behold, at 6pm sharp (shortly after the midwife told me that natural birth inductions like enemas and baths were way too early because I was not yet in the induction phase of birth) the first contractions started. 6:30 p.m. I was in the delivery room and was told to prepare for a good 12 hours in this state … the cervix was just 2 cm open. Around 7:30pm I got such shaky legs that I couldn’t continue marching around the room merrily … and went to bed sideways . 9:15pm I had another blood draw between two contractions, cervix was now at 6-7 cm. Our midwife told me to pant away the pressure I was feeling …I was not allowed to push yet. 9:30pm I couldn’t pant anything away and so the head and left arm of our baby came just like that without any support from the midwife. With the rest of the body she then supported and we held our little big miracle 21.32 o’clock in the arms. Despite the speed and the arm I had no birth injury and a wonderfully relaxed baby … my Reiki hands I needed during the birth on my head and my left shoulder … and I can say we had a dreamlike and powerful birth … short and painless … as discussed…👍
