✨The impact your breath has on your birth is huge... and this powerful technique is for ALL birth types✨especially if you find yourself preparing for the birth of your baby to be medicalised.

Breathing techniques are a core feature of classes, they help during pregnancy and during birth...
🌬Calm Breath = Clear Thoughts (there mane many decisions to make or questions you want to ask)
🌬Calm Breath = Oxygenated blood where it’s needed most (around your uterus and your baby)
🌬Calm Breath = More Oxytocin (less anxiety and more love)

“You are still in control of your birth experience, even when the path your journey takes is not one that you expected.”

Let me tell you the truth about this —->
You see this quote isn’t just ‘motivational’ it has real truth in those words...
• Your mind is suggestive, what it see’s it believes - this may be real, imagined, on tv even in your dreams - but it believes it is real.
•If you show your mind how to do something it will store the memory to be able to use it if you are in the same situation again (subconscious mind)

—> throw this all together and your Positive 💭 Strong 💪 Achieving 🙌 Mindset actually tells your mind you can, and your mind shows your body how.. ..
This positive visualisation technique is often used by athletes and sports people, they repeatedly see themselves winning and guess what! When it comes to the whistle their body remembers what to do!

Something I love to talk about when working with couples preparing to meet their baby is how to handle their 💭💪 It’s amazing how different the world around us is when we simply see it with a different pair of eyes.
So what can you do to help make your BirthMindset stronger?
• Breathe... it will reduce adrenaline to help you make clear decisions
• Reframe... a positive can be found in any situation, it may be tiny but tiny seeds grow
• Take your Time... Even during the throws of labour you have time to think; what happens if you wait? what happens if you do nothing?

Sometimes events can make us feel like a victim - is that how you want to feel?

YogaBirth classes in Birmingham www.mumtobee.co.uk

Mums to be often tell us that their favourite part of a YogaBirth class is meeting other new mums. It can give you such confidence to hear that others are experiencing the same thoughts or feelings as you. Sharing Birth stories and weekly experiences may be the best preparation for birth you can do.

Birth has a funny habit of taking us by surprise and even when we think we have all bases covered there may be something that pops up that we just cannot change... in those instances Hypnobirthing and Positive preparation are just as effective, just as useful and just as powerful... Know your options 💪

Start the discussion ✌️❤️✨

In my line of work I have the wonderful fortune of seeing many mums with their new babies. I am also extremely privileged to meet mums and families who have lost babies... Sometimes a mum may disappear from my Pregnancy yoga class, sometimes we won’t share ‘is this your first baby’ at the beginning of a class for a reason, sometimes couples come back to me to work through a trauma or a loss when they could be excited as they are pregnant again. And some women I never get to meet.

Start the discussion ✌️❤️✨

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Project

Sometimes 1 in 4 pregnancies will end in miscarriage or loss, yet how many women do you know who actually talk about it? We are the face of 1 in 4 pregnancies. Start the discussion.

We wrote down the common things people say to us before and sometimes even after knowing about our losses. The things said to us can sometimes hurt. Our babies matter too.

Birth Preparation is so much more than finding out about ‘giving birth’... The preparation you do can actually shape the birth experience you have.. ✨

At a Birmingham Birth Weekender you will be shown how your body is designed to give birth and how your can either hinder the natural process or support it. ✨💪
Who would have thought that the way you think could mean the difference between needing interventions or not... 💭💭💭💭

These postpartum rituals fascinate and delight me.. When we know that shockingly su***de is the largest reason for the death of new mothers in the uk maybe we can take a few leaves from this traditional practise and ‘Mother our new mothers’ with love and care...
