Course Content HypnoBirthing® is so much more than just a childbirth or antenatal course. It is a complete birth and parenting preparation and education programme for mums-to-be and their birth partners.
I find that often people express surprise at just how comprehensive the course is. It equips mums and their birth partners not only with everything they need to experienmce and enjoy a relaxed, much more comfortable and easier labour and birth but also to enjoy a calm, confident pregnancy while creating a secure, loving and deep bond with their baby both pre-birth and as a newborn.
The course combines the following elements : - In-depth teaching and education on
The practical and logistical elements of birth preparation and planning; enabling you to make clear and informed choices and decisions about the kind of birth that you want for yourself and your baby
The importance of pre-birth parenting, bonding techniques and your baby's conscious awareness in the womb
The full physiology of labour and birth - so that you understand exactly what happens and why at each stage during pregnancy and from the onset of labour through to the birthing and early parenting of your baby
- In-depth tuition and coaching on the full range of HypnoBirthing® tools and techniques to support you fully during each stage of labour and birth.
Think of these as your personal toolbox of techniques, which you can freely select from throughout each stage. They include
- Instant and deep relaxation techniques, including self-hypnosis and fear release methods
- Visualisation techniques
- Three Special Breathing techniques to help you work effectively with your body during labour (between and during surges) & birth
- Massage techniques to aid relaxation and facilitate birthing
- Natural Induction methods to initiate labour and to restart labour naturally if it should stall or weaken
These are combined with education and tuition on the following to prepare the body for birth
- physical exercises
- correct posture and
- nutritional guidance
- In addition, you and your birth partner will view fascinating films of real-life UK HypnoBirths which very importantly, will help to convince you that you, your partner and baby can also have a very positive HypnoBirthing experience.
