Let's explore some of the most common misconceptions around Hypnobirthing:
It’s just a bunch of breathing and meditation.
Ok, so I won’t lie; breathing and meditation are involved. But it’s only a tiny part of it. Really, it’s ALL ABOUT THE SCIENCE.
You’ve probably heard about fight or flight - when your adrenaline is shooting through the roof, and you’re ready to run away or land a punch. This is great if you’re encountering a pack of wolves, but it doesn’t work for birth.
Fight or flight can be triggered by everyday stressors, especially moments like the trip to the hospital when you’re in labour with your baby.
But do you know how to get yourself out of that state and back into your chilled space? It’s pretty simple once you understand how it all works.
Hypnobirthing will give you all the tools you need to regulate your nervous system.
Topics that we cover include (but aren’t limited to):
Your birth options and what you want from your experience.
The complete physiology of birth.
Your pain relief options.
Caesarean sections and recovery, assisted births, and labour induction.
Your birth rights and decision-making.
With a hypnobirthing course, you don’t just get a snack. You get the whole damn meal.
