Your Body Births - Hypnobirthing

It's that time again!
🔹
Your baby continues to go through important development in those last weeks of pregnancy.
🔹
Bringing them out before they are ready has risks.
🔹
It's important to know ALL the information about the benefits and risks and alternatives before making a decision about what is right for YOU and your baby.
🔹
✨ If you would like to learn more about what questions to ask and how to navigate the suggestion of early induction/caesarean around the holidays (or any time!)

One of the most common questions I see in birthing groups online is:

“I’m really wanting a ____ birth but my partner/family member/other significant person isn’t supportive. How can I get them on board?”
This can be really disheartening and upsetting when you don’t have the support of the people around you.

Most of the time, I would recommend the “talk to the hand” approach when people want to give you unsolicited advice, share negative birth stories or doubt your ability to birth your baby.

However, when it’s coming from your partner or support person, the person who is going to be in the room with you when you are at not only your most powerful, but also your most vulnerable, it can be really difficult and lonely. It may even make you think that you need to give up your dreams to appease them.

So what can you do?

In my latest blog post I discuss step by step what you can do if you're in this situation.

And as always, I'm here to support YOU, so please reach out 🖤

Do you and your birth partner have different ideas of what birth should look like?

Maybe you want your baby to be born in different places

Maybe you want different models of care

Maybe you have different ideas about what the role of the support person is

Maybe it's something else.

In my new blog post I discuss how to navigate this tricky and emotional situation.

What a good birth experience looks like for one person, might be different from another.

Did you know that you can still have a good and positive birth experience even if your circumstances deviate from what you were expecting or hoping?

Preparing for birth and knowing how to navigate any detours, keeps you in the driver's seat which contributes to a good and positive experience no matter how your baby enters the world!

A good birth experience can give you the best start of motherhood. A good birth doesn’t necessarily mean a “pain free water birth”.
It can also be an induced birth with a lot of interventions.
It can be an emergency c section.

As long as you felt safe, loved and taken care of I see that you can have all kinds of births and still feel like a f### queen ready for the biggest task of your life!

Find out what makes You feel safe.
Prepare yourself and your partner cause birth truly matters.

Did you feel empowered after birth?

Empowered Birth:
Stepping into the driver's seat

"When it comes to the incredible journey of bringing new life into the world, there's a subtle shift in language that can have a profound impact on how we perceive our role.

The word "delivered" has become synonymous with the arrival of babies, but think about it for a moment – does it truly capture the active, courageous, and awe-inspiring process that birth is? We're not mere passengers in this journey; we are the drivers, the creators, and the orchestrators of this miraculous event."

Normalising Birth.

Our beliefs and views of birth are being shaped our entire lives.

From how it's spoken or not spoken about by friends and family.

To how it's portrayed in the media - including TV and movies.

Imagine if our kids were shown how beautiful and powerful birth is?

Imagine how they would approach birth, support birth and give birth?

This child, watching his mother give birth to his sibling, there is no fear in his eyes, he can see his father supporting his mother in all her power.

Beautiful, strong, vulnerable and powerful.
Nothing to fear.

And the world begins to change.
🖤

Did you have your kids and the birth of their sibling?

In an ideal world we wouldn't have to prepare for birth.

We would have unwavering faith in our body's ability to birth our babies and we would be so practiced at listening to our bodies, from doing so our entire lives, that if there were any reason for concern we would feel it, communicate with our caregivers and they would support us in navigating any potential detours.

Our caregivers would have unwavering faith in our body's ability to birth our babies and they would be so practiced at listening to us, trusting us and supporting us to birth our babies the way that feels right for us.

Unfortunately, this isn't the world most of us live in.
We do need to prepare, have knowledge, skills and tools. We need to advocate for ourselves and have the confidence to make the decisions that are right for us.

The system isn't set up to support physiology.
Learning how to navigate this system and birth how you want, whatever that looks like, is how you own your story.
Your story. No one else's.

You are worth investing in.
