Experience description:

I was in labor and in the labor room on the bed my husband and midwife either side of me, I can remember all items in the labor room, when I felt the head was about to crown, I had a warm feeling and I can then remember feeling a feeling I had never felt before, like anti-gravity.  I had left my body and seemed to float up towards the round lights on the ceiling in the hospital room.  It seemed as if my nose had touched the middle light and my body turned around (as you see astronauts). I turned around and looked down and saw my husband the midwife and myself on the birthing bed. I could not hear them talking to me but could see what was going on. I felt warm free and at ease wonderful feeling.  I could see out into the corridors (through the walls).  I did not leave the room and could see people in the hospital rooms nearby. I felt things around me, and a lovely light bright light, not blinding, and white hazy.  I also saw figures. I went back into my body as the head of my baby crowned.  I did not wish to go back as the place where I was.  It was absolutely beautiful and it felt as if I knew what was out there and I needed to go and look. I heard voices in my head saying that I needed to go back now (telepathy). I knew there were people there I had know that had passed away but could not see them, only the outline of bodies in the light and absorbed by the light.  All seemed to be same height etc. I knew I needed to go back, my son was born.

I informed my husband of my experience and wanted so much for this to happen again , I am not scared of dying I take each day as it comes and hope that I have another experience like this as it has changed my way of thinking
