🌟April is Caesarean Section Awareness Month 🌟
I'm a firm believer that whichever birth a mother has, we can make it a positive experience.
Of course, circumstances may change, but if all is well, here are some tips to make it a more positive experience.

Choosing supportive caregivers. A key pillar in the Hypnobirthing Australia program.

Before you choose your model of care, have you thought about what type of birth you wish to work towards? A top tip is to choose your caregiver based on this.

There is no doubt that Hypnobirthing costs more to attend than standard hospital classes, but as the saying goes- you get what you pay for.
Buy, why does it cost more?
- The resources. Clients receive comprehensive, evidence based course material, downloads, and tracks that are worth over $200.
- Hypnobirthing Australia Practitioners are specialists within the field. Practitioners attend intensive training and are required to accrue continuing professional development points each year.
- It's personal. It's my own business and therefore you really do receive the personal touch. I make sure that I know my clients, their names, and their background (if they wish to share), plus they receive ongoing support up until baby is born.

So yeah, the Positive Birth Program by Hypnobirthing Australia costs more, but it is an investment that you can't afford to miss. No one regrets doing the classes. Don't miss out. You can only do this birth once. Make it a good experience!

In a spontaneous, physiological birth without any complications, vaginal examinations are not evidence based on assessing a mother's progress of labour.
They can be subjective, increase the chance of infection, and are telling us what the cervix is doing right now, not what it is about to do.
Vaginal examinations, however, may be necessary. For example, if there are concerns about the baby's position or the fetal heart rate.
There are other external signs that caregivers look out for when 'assessing' a mother's progress in labour, such as:
* how she is responding to her surges
* large mucous show is present
* she may have a large vomit
* the purple line may be visible, or the opening of the back (rhombus of michaelis).
* a**l dilation
* birth smell
* saying she needs to push, or seeing involuntary pushing
Have the conversation and ask your caregiver how they assess a mother's progress in labour.

Did you know that current evidence suggests chewing gum after a caesarean section may enhance the recovery of bowel function post operation and reduce the likelihood of an ileus in the postpartum period.
