PEA IN THE POD HYPNOBIRTHING

You’ll learn about:

What your body is doing during labour and birth, and how it might feel: From the first twinge to the part when you’re holding your baby, and the bit after that (yep, there’s a bit after that!) I’ll teach you the science behind birth, including what’s actually happening when you have a contraction and the role that hormones play in birth. With this knowledge, you’ll start to feel confident in your body’s ability to do what it’s been designed to do.
Comfort measures and pain relief: I’ll give you practical tools and techniques to help you feel more comfortable during contractions and to help you minimise pain. We’ll also discuss medical pain relief: what’s available, how it might help, and possible downsides or side effects.
The role of the birth partner: Birth partners are equipped with practical and powerful techniques to help you feel more comfortable and help you cope with the mental and physical demands of labour. I’ll also help them to understand and embrace their integral role as your advocate during the birth.
How to make decisions during pregnancy and birth: This includes information about how to navigate the maternity system, and how to build really positive relationships with your caregivers. We’ll cover topics such as induction, pain relief, choosing where to give birth and much more.
Expecting the unexpected: We’ll discuss unplanned caesareans, assisted delivery and how these can be extremely positive birth experiences with the right planning and mindset. As well as covering some key topics in detail, you’ll get the tools you need to make rational decisions, whatever comes your way.
How to plan your positive birth: I’ll show you how to use the knowledge and skills gained on this course to create a positive birth plan that covers a range of scenarios so that you feel calm, confident and in control of your birth, whether it turns out exactly as you imagined or completely different.
