You've thought about the birth bit.. what about afterwards?💓

The first weeks after birth can be a lot — physically, emotionally, and mentally.

And when it comes to preparing for parenthood... this is absolutley one of the things I always suggest people think about.

The 4th Trimester 💓

This self-paced course is here to offer steady, realistic support through your first 12 weeks. It combines postpartum education with simple mindfulness tools to help you:

🟡 Recover and heal
🟡 Care for your newborn with confidence
🟡 Navigate the emotional shifts of early parenthood

It’s designed to be gentle, clear, and easy to follow — something you can turn to when you need guidance or reassurance.

Take it at your own pace. Come back to it when you need to. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Believe in yourself 💓

Receiving an email from a family after the birth of their baby is one of the best parts of my job.

This one really got me.

When I met this mama for the first time we discussed how building confidence and self belief was the most important focus.

Control, letting go of control, controlling what needed to be controlled.

We chatted about how hypnobirthing isn't about birthing or feeling a certain way, its about trusting in yourself.

Sometimes just sitting down with someone, chatting it through... being that listening ear whilst we chat through those subjects that you really really don't want to but know in your heart its best - can make all the difference.

I'm so incredibly proud of all of you and again - just a huge thank you. You did it!

The diary for August is now fully booked but if your looking for something in September or October - I've got a few spaces available both online and face to face.

The September group course only has a few spots left too! Head to the comments to save yours today 🙂

Ways to create a positive birth mindset✨

When I first started preparing for Charlottes birth.. I never really understood why this mattered.

Until I understood what a difference our mind has on the rest of our body.

Our mind is an incredibly powerful thing and when I started to unpick a lot of my fears about birth - they had come from a place of watching too much rubbish tv or other people talking about birth in a negative way around me as a kid.

So when I fell pregnant.. I knew I had work to do.

To overcome a lot of these deeply imbedded anxieties that I'd built up for as long as I could remember.

Creating a positive mindset for birth is very individual... some people already might have some great foundations in place (this is how it absolutely should be!) and some people like me need to explore and find a variety of tools to help build up confidence (you are not alone if this is the way you feel).

As part of my hypnobirthing and antenatal courses, we explore a variety of topics which help you to start to build up that positive mindset.

That might be through understanding how birth works.

Or connecting with your birth partner.

Or in the case of hypnobirthing, it might be developing a variety of tools that help you to feel calm and in control.

Connecting all of these dots together for many people can make a HUGE difference in their mindset, because it proves to them that they do have more control than what they originally thought!

My September group course has now started taking bookings with only a few spaces left, if you'd like to secure a spot - head to the bio to book.

Or if you'd like to learn more - DM me for your free intro to antenatal and hypnobirthing videos.

Just wow... 💖

I received this feedback from a wonderful mama who I worked with during one of my hypnobirthing group courses.

Birth is often about letting go and finding the right path in the moment, trusting yourself and hypnobirthing can often really help people to explore what tools can support during the process.

Learning techniques such as the game changing breathing technique... ways to protect your space can make a huge difference and another big part of what I do as a birth coach is help families understand the healthcare system, listen to their intuition, and feel confident no matter what happens.

You absolutely smashed it! 👊

Thank you for trusting me to be there during such an important time in your life. 💕

If you'd like to book a hypnobirthing course with me - there's a few spaces left on the September group and availability for 1:1s both face to face and online😀

So its been a while since I've really said who I was on here so here I am... here's some things you need to know if you want to work with me.

I'm laid back but very passionate - particularly when we start to talk about your choices in birth!

Its true... I requested a caesarean the second time around.

And do you know what?

It was the most empowering moments of my life.

Why? After an incredible non medicated, intervention free first birth?

Because I got to choose. I made that final call.

Its a long story, but essentially - my second baby, William was a planned homebirth.

And towards the end of his pregnancy I became unwell and despite a lot of tests it never really got fully figured out. Not long after, my waters broke and I became really unwell.

In my gut - I knew something was wrong. I didn't know what. I knew my baby was okay - it was me that was struggling.

So I pretty much demanded a caesarean.

Despite several people from different areas of my life suggesting alternatives - I knew it was the right thing.

I cried. I wanted that homebirth so badly. But I knew, I knew wholeheartedly I needed support.

Turns out I was right - I was pretty poorly. But again, that's not the point of this story.

The point is - I chose. Me. I protected me. I protected my baby. I protected my mental health for the sake of me and my whole family.

And that's why I'm so damn passionate about hypnobirthing being for all births.

About hypnobirthing for caesarean.

We plan and focus on the birth we want.

But by putting in that time to understanding tuning into instinct and going inwards, by putting in time to consider how to prepare for a change of plan - it can help us to feel more in control when we feel its slipping away.

When you work with me, I will help you to find your path - prepare in the ways YOU want to. I've got your back no matter what.

The September Group Hypnobirthing course only has 3 spaces left or if you'd prefer to work with me 1:1 either online or face to face - head to the bio or type MESSAGE in the comments.

Feeling anxious during birth? You’re not alone 🤍

Anxiety during labour is a completely normal response — especially during the transition phase, when hormones shift and your baby starts to move down the birth canal 👶

Sometimes, just being in a new environment or around unfamiliar people can heighten our senses. It’s your body’s way of staying alert and protecting your baby 🧠💗

But here’s the thing... high levels of adrenaline (often linked to anxiety) can actually slow down labour by interfering with the flow of those calm, powerful birth hormones like oxytocin 🕊️✨

That’s why it helps to have a few things in place:

📝 Birth preferences – Know your options
👥 Supportive people – Choose who’s in your space
🧰 Toolkit of techniques – Breathwork, movement, visualisation, affirmations & more
📚 Education – Understand how labour works so you can respond with confidence, not fear

Anxiety might show up — and that’s okay.
What matters is having the tools and support to guide you through it 🌿💪

You’ve got this 🤍

You might want to keep hold of this one... 💾

More and more - my hypnobirthing courses are about exploring advocacy, doing what feels right for us.

And the truth is - it's needed.

Our maternity care system is struggling.

And that's why this sort of stuff is important. So that you know your rights, you know that you can challenge and that you can ask for a more individualised approach.

I'm a firm believer in intuition and sometimes we just need more time, or we might just need to ask a few more questions before making decisions.

This can help us to process what feels right for us and know we've listened to what we felt we needed to do for ourselves.

Here - I'm sharing a few examples of the tools that you can use to help you and your birthing team to feel more confident about advocating for yourselves.

We explore this topic in all of my hypnobirthing classes with the Leeds September group only with 4 spaces left.

There's also few spaces left for 1:1s both online and face to face in most of Yorkshire up to the end of October.

Drop me a message or head to the comments to book 💛

World Hypnobirthing Day 2025 ❤️

I can honestly say that hypnobirthing can change lives, including my own.. yeah I might be biased and when I stepped into this journey 7 years ago in Charlotte's pregnancy, my views on what hypnobirthing is have evolved and changed.

I'm a firm believer that hypnobirthing is all about self belief and doing what feels right for you and your baby.. and I can't tell you how much all of you that I've had the honour of working with have shaped my ethos.

Have helped The Happy Little Nest to evolve in what it is today.

Hypnobirthing is for EVERYONE. Its not something you can get wrong... because its very individual to you, your baby and what you want. I guess the main common factor is that self belief 🥰

Here's to you, the 500 plus families I've supported over the years. You really are best ❤️

All my love and as always, oxytocin vibes.

If you want to work with me - whether that be as a hypnobirthing teacher, postnatal doula or mentor - reach out. I'd love to hear from you.

Intuition in pregnancy and birth ✨

Something I talk about a lot with clients is how tuning into our instinct and helping it to guide us to do what we feel is right can really help us to feel more in control.

For some of us being able to tune in or trust our instinct can feel pretty big so here I thought I'd share some tips that I've put together over the years for my clients in order to help them to feel like they can explore what feels right.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on these and if you find them useful.

I'm now taking bookings for 1.1s all the way through to July - if you'd like some information, a chat or to book on, feel free to reach out.

Lets get you prepared to meet your baby.

Laura
