Has anyone else had an Out of body experiance whilst giving birth. When I had my third child ds2 (2000) I wanted a drug free delivery I went into labour about six in the morning about four hours into my labour Which was quiet a painfull labour I all of a sudden felt myself lift up out of my body and felt as though I was standing next to myself watching what was going on. I went all calm and the midwives and my xdp where asking me if I was ok? I kept saying Its ok I am not in here any more. They all looked confused wich I thought was very funny and I tried to tell them I was not in my body but next to it But they could not understand and started to worry. I felt absolutly NO pain during this time. It was the most incredible experiance I was like this for several hours Untill I started pushing his head out and then I snapped back into my body and pushed my boy into the world. He had had shoulder dysplasia and was 9 pound 9 ounce Not breathing But the midwives rescusitated him and he was fine (just a lovely purple colour But breathing and crying) This experiance was truelly something else and it took me a while to try to understand it but I think it was my bodies naturall pain killers kicking in. I cant explain why I felt I was watching from the side of the bed I suspect It was my brain being a little warped given the circumstances :D So has anyone else ever experianced anyhting like this ?
