Preparing for a Positive Birth
What is a positive birth?
A positive birth is not a type of birth. It is a birth experience where you have felt safe, listened to, you have understood what is happening to your body, you have been aware of your choices and involved in decision making.
It might not be the birth you had imagined, it might be a birth with interventions, it might be a birth that hasn’t followed the plan, but it can still be a positive birth.
How can attending my classes help you achieve a positive birth?
In my classes you will learn about the physiology of birth, how to create the ideal birth environment, how to get the birth hormones flowing, AND what might happen if you need a helping hand; an induction of labour, a caesarean birth, and pain relief options if your hypnobirthing techniques aren’t enough.
Not thinking about interventions or stronger pain relief options won’t make them less likely to be needed, you’ll just feel less prepared if you do find yourself in that scenario. Requiring interventions or pain relief is not a ‘failure’ in your body, your ability to hypnobirth, or your preparation. Interventions have their place, can be life-saving, necessary, and most importantly they can be empowering and positive.
I will teach you how to use the 'BRAIN' tool when making decisions so you know you are choosing the right options for you and your family.
You will receive hypnobirthing MP3s and learn hypnobirthing breathing techniques and visualisations so you can feel excited about birth, and you stay calm and relaxed, whatever unexpected twists and turns your pregnancy and birth may take.
I will educate and prepare your birth partner to support you to remain calm and relaxed, to create the perfect birth environment, and to help you make decisions.
