Hi everyone. I’m after some advice.

I suffer from anxiety but have learnt how to hide it from everyone around me. I have spoken to my husband about my feelings and he says he understands.

I live in the uk and have blood clotting issues, so I am on anticoagulants. As a result, an epidural might not be possible. And I would rather have a natural, drug free delivery - if possible.

So, I’ve been looking into techniques that might help me. I think hypnobirthing might help. But my husband is sceptical about it (I think he thinks it’s a load of “mumbo jumbo”.

Can anyone give me any advice for or against hypnobirthing techniques, any other suggestions or suggestions on how to help convince my husband?

Thanks.
