I’m covered in oil, balancing on 1 foot at 34 weeks pregnant, trying to get my hand round my huge belly to massage my perineum and it’s just not happening. I’m sweating, huffing and puffing and fed up.

So I sack it off and I do other things instead to try and reduce my chances of tearing during labour.

There’s huge pressure on women to do perineal massage but honestly, doing this alone and forgetting all the other things really isn’t going to help.

You can massage your perineum till the cows come home but if you don’t consider all the other ways to minimise your chances of tearing them then it’s a bit pointless.

Comment “tear” and I’ll send you the link to read the full blog.

I tried all 10 of these things during labour!

QUESTIONS TO ASK IF YOU ARE HAVING GROWTH SCANS

Whilst a 15% or more inaccuracy from growth scans during pregnancy doesn’t sound like much, actually it can be pretty big in terms of potential weight of your baby.

Growth scans can also have an impact on the type of birth that you might have. Those who have suspected large babies are often offered an induction but we know that induction isn’t risk free.

It’s always good to ask plenty of questions (swipe to see a few).

Information such as this is included in all of my courses, it’s important to have the knowledge of birth, as well as all of the coping techniques that I teach too.

To find out more about my courses, head to my website or get in touch and we can have a chat. My next group course is running from home in Wakefield in October, there’s just 3 spaces left.

I won 🙌 🏆

I can’t believe it, I won pregnancy care specialist of the year from the Yorkshire Prestige Awards.

I really wasn’t expecting this at all, especially since I’ve basically been hibernating on my socials whilst I look after both kids for 6 weeks.

I’m so chuffed though, this really does mean a lot, I’ve been teaching hypnobirthing now for almost 7 years and I’m just as passionate about birth now as I was back then.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

As always, my blog has all the best bits if you are currently expecting a baby.

Behind The Scenes Of A Hypnobirthing Teacher - What you don’t see…

Is the endless reading of birth books (which I absolutely love ❤️ 📚). I do this so you don’t have to read all of the books.

Updating my knowledge from reading new evidence and studies that come out 📖

Listening to birth podcasts 🎧

Writing blogs for my website to provide as much birthy content for you all as possible 💻

Updating my courses to reflect new evidence 🖊

Calls with clients after their course finishes if they need additional support 📞

Supporting and mentoring other hypnobirthing teachers with their businesses 👩🏻 👩🏽

And so much more.

Of course, I love it all, it’s my passion but there’s so much that goes into being a hypnobirthing teacher, more than you might think.

My aim is to provide as much relevant, up to date and beneficial information as possible to all of you that take my courses so that you don’t have to read all of them books 😂.

I can support you from anywhere in the world with birth prep or if you would like local hypnobirthing support then I’m your Wakefield hypnobirthing specialist.

I wore the pink waistcoat 💕

Never in a million years would I have thought I would have worn something so bright but yesterday I thought “screw it” and I went for it.

I was always so shy as a young child, never had any confidence and was always worried about everything. I was bullied and would often find myself being put in a bin (yep you heard that correctly, I mean I laugh about it now but it was awful at the time).

It took until I was 28 years old, after giving birth to my daughter in a way that I wanted to birth her (against all the odds) to finally gain some confidence.

Hypnobirthing allowed me to ask questions confidentially, make decisions for myself without fearing judgement from other people and to finally stand up for myself. It gave me a quiet confidence that I had never had before.

I’m still not sure I loved the waistcoat and doubt crept in every now and then throughout the day

Is it too bright?

Am I trying to be the centre of attention?

But I gave myself a little talking to, stood up taller and embraced it.

To some it might be just a waistcoat but to me it’s a little nod to myself of the journey that I’ve been on.

Come follow my account for hypnobirthing and birth tips and if you are local to me in Wakefield, come say hi.

Even the small, simple things make a difference when in labour.

I actually encourage people to work on the good hormones in the run up to their due date, get them flowing before you even go into labour.

Then, during the early stages of labour, you’ll be able to focus on all of the above, as you progress, tuning out of the noise and listening to your body will be so beneficial.

Hypnobirthing will allow you to do all of these things and make a difference to the contractions you have, making them more efficient and effective.

Head to my website where I share all the secrets to having a positive and confident labour.

All of the 10+ techniques that I teach on my hypnobirthing courses can be using during a c-section.

The calm caesarean course is fast becoming one of my most popular courses. I’ve had 2 people book this course in the last week alone.

People are realising how beneficial hypnobirthing techniques are before, during and after a c-section.

During a birth that can potentially feel very sterile, where things may not feel within your control, we can absolutely regain some confidence and use hypnobirthing tools to feel calmer, to increase pain relieving hormones, to avoid panic and fear.

Comment ‘c-section’ and I’ll show you how to use hypnobirthing for a calmer caesarean birth.

Remember to head to my blog for all of my game changing hypnobirthing tips for a calmer labour.

Am I weird?

It might be hard to believe but I feel a sense of sadness that I won’t get to give birth again.

I know how incredibly lucky I am to have given birth twice, I don’t ever take that for granted and I feel so grateful that I get to look back on both of these labours and feel:

-A sense of pride

-A happiness that they were moments of such empowerment

-A longing to be back in that moment

-A joy that myself and my husband went through something so incredible together

-The biggest sense of achievement and accomplishment

Don’t get me wrong, I know there were moments where I felt like I couldn’t do it, that the feeling was so strong I couldn’t go on but overall the power that I felt in them labours was incredible.

It’s my own choice not to have anymore children but I still don’t think anything in life will live up to the experience of a positive birth.

I know I have hypnobirthing to thank for the way that my labours went, without it I might be saying the exact opposite of this.

Anyone else agree? Or I am I mad?

The breaks in between contractions are important…

We need to use them wisely, yet so many women use these breaks to worry about the next contraction.

This is where hypnobirthing makes a huge difference, the mindset tools that you learn will help you avoid panic and instead think about conserving energy and working with your body rather than against it.

The last thing we want is to be totally and utterly exhausted because we aren’t using the breaks that the body gives us.

Here’s 4 ways to use the breaks to your full advantage during labour:

I’ll take all the drugs please 💊

I would never have dreamt that I would give birth without pain relief.

I don’t have a high pain threshold at all, in fact I once passed out in a local shopping centre from period pain 🫣

I always knew that when I had children, I would want all the pain relief, why would I possibly do it without?

Well, fast forward to being pregnant with my first child. Suddenly the pain was no longer my biggest fear, being out of control was.

I worried so much that I would panic during labour, that I wouldn’t feel in control of my mind or body, that I would be screaming and become frantic.

So, I started to research ways to feel in control during labour, I found out how to do the following through hypnobirthing:

-Increase my own natural pain relief in my system before I even went into labour

-Zone out from the pain and focus on something else

-Understand how the body works during labour and know to a certain extent what to expect

-Utilise techniques that helped me to manage the pain and feel in control

-Know how to manage if a change of plan did come my way

-Have a birth partner who knew exactly how to help me, especially if I did panic

-Work with my body and listen to it so that I could find comfort when needed

-Ask questions and make sure that at each stage of labour I was making the decisions

All of this came from hypnobirthing and I bloody well did it, I felt in control every step of the way and even better I felt confident and empowered too.
