This lovely lady came to me for a refresher course she is planning a beautiful home birth with her second baby ✨

I am so grateful to have played a small part in her wonderful journey 🤰🏼

He said to me at the end of the course…

“I’m not going to lie… when she booked this, I thought…
what on earth am I coming to?”

And honestly… I hear this a lot.

He told me he didn’t really get why he needed to be there.
“Surely birth is pretty straightforward?”
“Won’t the midwives just tell us what to do?”

Fast forward a few weeks…

And his whole perspective had changed.

He said,
“I didn’t realise how much there is to it.”
“I actually feel like I know what’s going on now.”
“I feel like I can properly support her.”

And that’s the bit that matters.

Because birth partners aren’t just there to hold the bag.
They are such a huge part of how a woman feels during labour.

When they understand what’s happening…
When they know how to keep things calm…
When they feel confident asking questions…

Everything shifts.

No more standing on the sidelines wondering what to do.
No more feeling helpless.

Just feeling involved.
Useful.
Part of the team.

So if your partner is a little unsure about coming along…

That’s okay.

They’re often the ones who get the biggest shift.

I hear this all the time after birth…

“I wish I’d taken birth prep more seriously.”
“I wish I’d done it sooner.”

And it’s never said in a dramatic way.
It’s usually quiet. Reflective.

Because before birth, it’s so easy to think… 🤔

“I’ll just see how it goes.”
“My midwife will tell me what to do.”
“I’ve got time, I’ll sort it later.”

But birth doesn’t wait for you to feel ready.

And when things feel intense, unfamiliar, or birth doesn’t go to plan… that’s when people realise how much they wanted to feel more prepared.

Not perfect.
Not in control of everything.

Just… calmer.
More informed.
More confident in their choices.

The parents I support don’t leave knowing exactly how their birth will go.

But they do leave knowing:

“I can handle this.” 💪
“I understand what’s happening.” 🧠
“I know how to ask questions and make decisions.” 🙋🏼‍♀️

And that changes everything.

If you’re pregnant and keep thinking

“I should probably look into this at some point…”

Take this as your nudge 👍

A lot of worry shows up around sleep. 😴  Or lack of it.

Parents tell me they’re already exhausted. Already overwhelmed. 😬
 And scared that they won’t have the energy for labour.
What helps isn’t pushing through.
 It’s learning how to rest properly.  How to relax deeply. 🙏
 How to let your body recharge, even in short moments.
When parents learn those skills during pregnancy, they don’t just help during birth. 👩‍🍼
 They help afterwards too.
And that makes a real difference. 💪

James is my 3rd baby and I had already done hypnobirthing with my previous two positive births, one birth at hospital and another home birth in water. So when I saw that Aimee offered a Hypnobirthing refresher session, I was really excited to recap on my knowledge. I’d forgotten so much and even though I was already a mum of two, I still had certain fears with my pregnancy and needed that reassurance.
 I followed everything that Aimee had taught us on the day and pictured exactly how my birth was going to go, I knew I was going to have him at home, with no pain relief. I’d ordered a birth pool for at home like my last birth and I couldn’t wait for the experience again.  My due date came and went and I knew he wasn’t ready to come then. I’d researched a lot about being overdue and was happy to wait until he was ready before he came declining any intervention from the midwife. I was 12 days over and declined all offers of sweeps and inductions, I felt so calm and confident and my midwife respected that!  On 15th August 2023 I went around my day as usual, my son was at school, my toddler at home and was starting to make tea, I’d had a few contractions here and there but nothing major. My husband arrived home around 6pm and I’d noticed my contractions getting closer together and slightly stronger, as he left to pick our eldest son up from football, I got on my ball and he joked saying “let me know if I need to come back.”

You’re not alone. Most parents-to-be have questions or doubts before booking. Here are a few I hear all the time 👇

“Is Hypnobirthing just for home births?”

Not at all. Hypnobirthing works whether you’re planning a hospital birth, induction, caesarean, birth centre or home birth. The tools help you stay calm, informed and confident in any situation.

“I’m not very good at meditation or relaxing…”

You don’t need to be. Hypnobirthing isn’t about sitting perfectly still or emptying your mind. It’s about learning simple breathing, mindset and relaxation techniques that work during labour.

“What if my birth doesn’t go to plan?”

Birth can be unpredictable. Hypnobirthing prepares you for this by helping you understand your options, communicate with your care team and feel confident making decisions.

“My partner isn’t sure about it.”

Birth partners usually end up loving the course. They learn practical ways to support you, advocate for you and feel calm and involved during the birth.

“Is it worth it?”

Many parents say the course was the most useful preparation they did for birth, not just for labour, but for feeling informed, calm and ready as a team.

✨ Hypnobirthing isn’t about having a “perfect” birth.
It’s about going into birth feeling prepared, supported and confident.

If you only remember one thing during labour, let it be this…
you can ask questions 🤔

When things feel intense or unfamiliar, it’s easy to slip into thinking that you should just do what you’re told.

But birth is happening in your body and with your baby.

You deserve to understand what’s being suggested, why it’s being recommended, and what your options are before making a decision.

Asking questions doesn’t make you difficult.
It makes you informed.

And feeling informed can completely change how you experience your birth.

Inside my group Hypnobirthing courses, we spend time understanding how to ask questions, how to feel confident speaking up, and how your birth partner can support you with this too.

Because preparation isn’t about controlling birth.
It’s about feeling calm, informed, and involved.

If you’re pregnant and would like to feel more confident going into birth,
send me a message with the word INFO and I’ll share the details of my upcoming group Hypnobirthing courses 💛

This Girl ❤️

Will grow up to be as kind to herself,
as she is to other people.

Will accept compliments that describe who she is,
not just what she looks like.

Will respect her body, knowing that what she looks like,
is the least interesting thing about her.

Will not allow others to decide her capabilities,
she will fiercely believe in her own potential.

Will not see the mistakes she makes as failures,
But see them as chances to grow and learn.

Will allow her light to shine brightly in this world,
Never believing she is ‘too much’ or ‘too loud’.

Will not bend over backwards to please everyone else,
But know that the only person has to please is herself.

What do you wish for your daughter?

My birth was the most beautiful experience of my entire life, and not beautiful as in it was pain free or i sailed through it, of course it was painful, but pain is temporary.

I say this because the second you hold your baby in your arms, the pain disappears and a love you cant even imagine fills your existence.

I started my hypnobirthing course with Aimee in the Jan as i was due at the end of March, my pregnancy had physically been great with no issues, the man I had got pregnant to, however was a whole other story, having completely removed myself and my unborn daughter away from him, this is and was the safest thing i could have ever done and he still has and never will have any involvement in our lives.

Turning up to Aimees beautiful cosy cabin with my own mum as my partner, i cant lie, i was nervous, nervous of being judged, nervous of feeling sadness that my daughter didnt have a dad and that i was embarking on this journey completely alone.

I didnt have anything to be nervous about, Aimee not for a second judged me, made my mum feel welcome and involved and instantly gave me that warm fuzzy feeling i look back and now see was safety.

Completing the course i felt ready to give birth, not just physically (id been doing the birth ball exercises she recommended) my hips were wide and i was told baby was head down and engaged. The days running upto my birth i sat on my birthing ball, visualising my birth, because of Aimees training Id learnt the journey from babies point of view which changes how you see the whole thing. I knew not to be scared and not to force anything, baby will come when shes ready.

The doctors wanted to induce me before my due date, i declined this and a sweep as i knew there were risks (they dont automatically tell you this) again because of Aimees training i knew to ASK and I knew I had choices. It gave me the confidence to listen to my body but respect midwives and their medical opinion also.
