Used the Serenity pool for my healing HBAC
I used the amazing MiaVia Serenity pool for my healing HBAC. I experienced such a blissful birth and this was my first time using a birth pool too ever. I experienced such deep healing, joy and surrendered to the process of birth. I had my baby in the comfort of my own home and felt so very powerful. Using the pool was the best decision ever, it gave me great safety and comfort.My labour was beautiful starting from the hours of the morning till the early afternoon. I used the pool for most of my birth and only came out once. I felt very safe in the pool and comforted by the water. The water was warm and allowed me to relax throughout the waves of contractions. In addition to the pool I used natural tools such as the comb, TENS (out of the water), dimmed lights, music and the power of visualisation. As I hit transition being in the pool was the best. I used the entire pool and found even more comfort in moving around and allowing my womb to open up as my baby was finding its way into the birth canal. My partner ended up in the pool for support during transition and really held space for me. Shortly after my baby was grounding down through my birth canal. I also kept this pregnancy a surprise gender and found out at that very moment. The baby was a beautiful baby girl and my son also joined us in the pool. He found his way by himself and was in amazement of his new sibling. Myself and my family were in the pool taking in our newest joy. It was a powerful moment to acknowledge what I had done; I birthed my daughter at home in my living room. I proved to myself that my body was never broken. It was truly a divine and healing birth.
