Your birth environment is important 🤰🏻in our Hypnobirthing Australia Positive Birth Program, we talk about the importance and reasoning behind creating a calm birthing environment. For anyone who may have a fear of hospitals or find a hospital environment sterile and overwhelming, there are a bunch of different ways you can incorporate elements that can help to make you feel safe, calm and relaxed ✨ close the door for some quiet and to minimise external distractions, lower the main lights and use your fairy lights or battery operated candles, bring your own pillow or blanket, take your affirmation cards or posters to place on the walls, a speaker for your own music playlist, snacks for energy, eye mask, request for care providers and support people to speak softly, using a birth ball, birth mat or peanut ball, taking a warm shower or utilising the bath (if appropriate and in consultation with your care provider) The choice is yours - make it work for you! ™️
