Babies In Waiting

Babies In Waiting We teach Pregnancy Relaxation, Hypnobirthing & Mother and Baby Clubs. Passionate about supporting pregnancy and birth positively. Classes across Essex, UK.

Hypnobirthing teaches couples tools and techniques to have a calm, relaxed birth. Baby Massage is a fantastic bonding experience and also helps with alleviating potential newborn ailments such as colic and reflux. Babies in Waiting like to nurture the relationship with the couples/mothers that attend our courses. We extend our support for as long as it is wanted. We hold monthly coffee mornings for our bumps and newborns and meet regularly at a local coffee shop with our Hypnomummies and toddlers. Having a baby is a life changing experience, our aim is to empower parents and support holistically.

Beautiful reflections • 💜 Labour doesn’t always follow the same pattern as the first. I was expecting my waters to break and then have time to eat, sleep and prepare the pool before my first surge. In reality, my waters broke when the baby’s head was coming out which was when my husband phoned the midwife.

💜 Labour can be much quicker the second time around. The cervix and birth canal have already been stretched, allowing for faster dilation and a shorter pushing stage. Fortunately, I knew this could be the case and got the pool up nice and early.

💜 Healing can take longer postpartum with your second baby. This is because abdominal and pelvic floor muscles are weaker and more stretched after having a second baby. Uterine muscles are also stretched a little more, sometimes creating after pains when going back to its normal size. This is the time to get family to support in whichever way they can. Fortunately, I have a husband who cooks so I was able to eat well and get some rest immediately after birth.

Wise words • “Dating pregnancy is not an exact science and there is considerable variation between women.

It is normal that some women naturally have longer pregnancies than others.

The idea that something terrible will happen if a woman remains pregnant for a moment longer than 42 weeks just isn’t true.

The baby doesn’t turn into a pumpkin at midnight.”

It’s so important that women have full information and are able to look at the pros and cons of different courses of action before making the decisions that are right for them.

Part of that is sorting the myths from the facts.

This quote is from my book, “Inducing Labour: making informed decisions.”

💜Hi, I’m Alice 👋 I teach the Hypnobirthing course from the comfort of my home in Langdon Hills. At around 30 weeks pregnant, my Babies in Waiting Hypnobirthing journey began! My husband and I joined the course with Jen, and the anxieties I had around birth quickly transformed into confidence and excitement. The positive, refreshing approach to birth left me feeling empowered and truly ready for labour. I couldn’t wait to give birth! I went on to have an amazing home birth experience, and I knew I needed to become part of the Babies in Waiting team to help other expectant parents experience the same. My own journey really strengthened my belief, and those around me too, in the power of Hypnobirthing. When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time with my husband, son, and our fur baby! Looking forward to hearing from you 💜
