Birth Preparation
Antenatal Hypnobirthing Classes
Congratulations...
on your wonderful pregnancy news!
Preparing for a new baby is such an exciting time! There is so much to do and of course there is the birth to think about too.
This is the day that you finally meet the tiny person you have wondered about for months and you want this day to be one you remember for all the right reasons.
How are you feeling about birth right now?
It’s totally normal if you are feeling worried or nervous!
​
You have heard your friend's birth stories, watched the documentaries and it doesn't look easy!
Maybe you are concerned about how painful it might be and how you will cope?
You are excited to meet your baby, but not sure what to expect when it comes to labour!
​
Perhaps you have experienced birth before and want it to be a better experience this time?
​
Whatever YOUR reason for being here today, I'm so pleased that you are​​
​
​
Birth doesn't have to be scary or out of control or traumatic, and from your very birth preparation session you will feel supported, reassured and any worries you have about birth will begin to ease.
​​
Both my 'Calm and Ready Birth Course' for groups and Private Birth Preparation Courses are ideal for you if you would like to feel informed, empowered and excited about birth.
I can't wait to work with you and your birth partner if you decide to join me.
Why do you include hypnobirthing in your courses?
Hypnobirthing gives you the knowledge and skills you need to have the best possible birth experience and start to life with your baby. Hypnobirthing goes a step further than traditional antenatal courses and prepares you mentally for your labour experience. The skills and knowledge you learn teached you how to work with your body and how your partner can best support you. And you soon see that everything you learn about hypnobirthing is based on science and logic.
​​
I include modern and enjoyable elements of hypnobirthing in all of my birth preparation options because I know first hand the power it has to ensure you feel confident, in tune with your body and fully equipped to give birth with more ease.
​​
Hypnobirthing increases your chances of having a straightforward natural birth but also supports choice, individuality and enables you to feel positive about your birth whatever happens on the day.
​
Taking a course with For Baby For Me will help you to:
​
-
Release anxiety and build trust in your ability to give birth
-
Understand how your body and mind work in labour
-
Know what to expect from first signs of labour until you are enjoying the first hours with your baby
-
Understand the importance of the environment you give birth in
-
Learn techniques to work through your contractions calmly and manage the sensations of labour
-
To consider what is important to you when it comes to birth and to make decisions ahead of birth that feel right for you
-
Gain a birth partner who has an in-depth understanding of how he or she can support you on the day
-
Stack the odds in your favour of having a straightforward and more comfortable birth
-
Understand your rights and choices during pregnancy and labour and create a birth plan
​
Why should I prepare for birth with a For Baby For Me Course?
Both my 'Calm & Ready', Group Hypnobirthing and Bespoke 1:1 Courses put you back in touch with your innate ability to give birth. If you are in tune with your body during labour and you know what to expect, you will naturally feel so much more relaxed. This will help your body to work more efficiently and comfortably.
​
The hypnobirthing elements of your course will help you avoid subconsciously working against your birthing mind and body.
Your course goes more deeply into the knowledge around birth and helps you to prepare holistically for one of the most important days of your life, focusing on the physical, emotional, and mental preparation required to have a positive experience.
​
The 'hypnobirthing' part of your course is not as strange as it sounds. If you are imagining swinging pendulums and clucking chickens, you can be reassured that this is not what it is like at all.
​
Hypno refers to 'hypnosis' in this case refers to learning techniques to deeply relax you.
​​
Feeling calm during labour and able to zone out from distractions enables your body to work as nature intended and for labour to flow.
​​
During your chosen birth preparation course, you will learn how to reframe how feel about birth using self-hypnosis. You will receive a range of relaxation hypnosis mp3s to listen to at home, which will help you to transform anxious feelings about giving birth at a subconscious level to more positive and excited.
Will I be hypnotised?
