If you are pregnant and wanting to understand birth better, prepare the mind positively for birth, feel less anxious, feel more calmer, confident and in control of your birth, then you might be looking for a hypnobirthing course. I offer group hypnobirthing courses in Oulton, Leeds and private 1-1 hypnobirthing courses within West Yorkshire.
How Hypnobirthing Courses Prepare you for birth
Hypnobirthing courses are a great way to prepare you for birth. They equip you with tools and hypnobirthing techniques, to help you and your birth partner be able to make informed decisions. They teach you how to advocate for yourself, have the type of birth that you desire and help you to understand how your body works during labour. Not only that, but hypnobirthing courses also teach you coping techniques to use during labour, to make you feel more comfortable, less fearful and more in control.
Many women who have used hypnobirthing during their birth, say that they wouldn't have had the positive birth experience that they had, if they hadn't have done a hypnobirthing course. Hypnobirthing doesn't necessarily mean that you will have the birth that you plan. However, it does stack the odds in your favour and allow you to make informed decisions if you need to and still have a positive birth experience. For example, you might be planning a vaginal, intervention free birth. However, once your labour starts you might find that you are advised to have an unplanned caesarean section. During your hypnobirthing course, you were taught about how to make informed decisions, so you are able to make the right decision for you and your baby. If you decided to have a c-section, you are able to still use your hypnobirthing techniques, to help you to remain calm and relaxed. You are also able to make special requests during your caesarean section, that you might feel will help you to feel calmer. For example, you might ask your care provider if you can listen to some calming music through your earbuds, during the procedure.
Hypnobirthing Techniques For Life
Hypnobirthing is for everyone and it is for all births. Hypnobirthing is also not just to be used during birth. Once you learn these skills, they become skills for life. If ever you are in a situation where you are feeling anxious, scared or worried, you can use your hypnobirthing techniques and tool kit, to instantly reduce that fear and calm your body. You might be sat in a waiting room, waiting to see the dentist or on your way to a job interview. You can instantly use your breathing techniques and put your mind into a calmer state of relaxation.
I think that hypnobirthing should be taught to all pregnant people and birth partners. It can make such a difference to birth. Too often we condition the mind to believe that birth is a painful, scary experience and we enter our births feeling terrified and anxious. This makes our births painful, because we are tense. This then confirms to us that birth is painful and then we feel even more tense and even more terrified. We need to break this cycle and recondition our mind during pregnancy and learn that birth doesn't have to be scary and it doesn't have to be painful. Birth can actually be magical, exciting and incredible. Our bodies are incredible and learning hypnobirthing techniques, we can feel empowered during birth and see just how magical and incredible a woman's body really is.
