Description
By combining the strength of both hypnobirthing and active birth principles you and your birth partner learn the power of:
- Breath
- Relaxation
- Movement
- Hormones
- Touch
to help you learn how you can optimise what’s happening in your body to make your birth experience more comfortable. You’ll learn some valuable tools to take you all the way through your birth.
Hypnobirthing and active birthing are ways of managing the experience of childbirth by encouraging your mind and body to relax and allow your body to work without the pressures we naturally put on ourselves. It’s a way of releasing fear and anxiety through visualisations and relaxation techniques, alongside learning what labour will be like for you. You’ll learn different positions and techniques that will help you birth your baby in different situations.
You’ll learn what happens to your body in labour, different breathing techniques that can help you at different points, positions that can help (and hinder!) you, hormone optimisation to give you a helping hand, the importance of the mind-body connection, some keep calm tools and your birth partner will get lots of tips about how they can support you and help relieve you of fear and pain.
This course is suitable for those planning a vaginal birth from 14 weeks of pregnancy although many will find it most beneficial in the final trimester. It’s as perfect for those of you who already have children as it is for first time parents.
