Those “Good Old Days” ... When people smoked during pregnancy, there were no car seats, drinking dark ale during pregnancy was advised, nobody made a fuss about baby’s movements, babies were put to sleep on their front, people used cot bumpers.

We all have a friend or family member who did some or all these things and were “fine”

But what about those that weren’t?

When we talk about making things safer we are not saying EVERYONE who does these things will die. But the risk is higher, and is it a risk worth taking?

The more we have become aware of risks the lower the number of babies and children that have been dying. For every person who did these things and “was fine” there will be someone who did these things and suffered the worst consequences.

If research and statistics tell us something isn’t safe, the best thing to do is follow that advice. Not take the actions of one person doing it without consequence as a sign it is safe.

This graph shows the massive impact these health and safety measures have made. And the number of families who have been saved the heartache of getting to the one time they can no longer say “it was fine”

Our advice, and that of charities such as and is based on research - and we highlight it to ensure the safety of more mothers and babies.

Hi everyone, new followers and old! It’s so nice to have you here, come and say hi 👋🏼

I’ve been quite absent of late, I’ve been living in the (busy) moment and enjoying every second. Adventures, holidays, family days and making memories, but I’m still here 💚

I have some new classes coming soon, starting in June. Please reach out if you have any questions at all.

See you all soon

It’s an interesting concept isn’t it, the way that we think and feel can be determined by the way we act and the behaviours that we surround ourselves with. And that can work in both a positive and negative way.

Negatively, for example, if you avoided all things you feel anxious about then you deprive yourself of opportunities and the option to face your fears and conquer them. Then you feel more anxious about it and you enter into a vicious cycle.

Similarly, if you give yourself the opportunity to face that fear or anxiety the outcome can be that you have accomplished something great and you are able to recognise your strengths and achievements.

Little by little you can turn those fears into positivity and achieve great things. My hypnobirthing classes can help and give you all the tools you need to overcome any anxieties.

💚What the mind believes, the body can achieve💚

Can you remember the moment you met your baby?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When you are pregnant it can be hard to imagine that moment. But taking some time during your pregnancy to stop, be still and imagine your birth, to imagine the way you would like your birth to go can be such a wonderful thing. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Envisioning your birth, how it will play out, where you will be, who will be there, imagining your breath, your movement, your body swaying and moving as your baby journey's to you.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Where the mind goes the body follows! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
And of course during your birth should your journey take a different route you will be prepared and ready to adapt, you will have the tools and confidence to make the decisions that are right for you and your baby in that moment.​​​​​​​​

BRAINS is an acronym which can be used when facing choices and decisions, not just during pregnancy/labour/birth but throughout your whole life.

Benefits – what are the benefits?

Risks – what are they?

Alternatives – what other options are there?

Instinct – listen to it and trust it!

Nothing – if we do nothing, what will happen then? Normally nothing would happen and there would be no increased risk of doing nothing.

Smile/second opinion – smiling and laughter will aid in relaxation of the whole body, allowing muscles to ease around the pelvis and allowing baby to move down the birthing canal.
Or – get a second opinion if you are unsure

If you want to find out more about your options when things divert then get in touch today. You will learn more tips like this on our hypnobirthing courses

THIS!!👇🏼 our bodies are amazing things, let’s just have more faith in them!

Repost• For the majority of people Physiological birth is not dangerous. Its not a life threatening illness, and our body’s are not broken.

If an animal couldn’t give birth without relying on medical assistance, that species would more than likely go extinct. The fact the human race has been on this planet for millions of years is evidence that we have an amazing inbuilt system to move our babies out of our bodies, which predates medicine itself.

To be clear, I’m in full support of interventions when there is an actual medical need. But I have spoken to too many pregnant people in the last week who are terrified of what could go wrong if they leave it to nature to run it’s course. And it’s actually upsetting to hear this over and over again. Wtf happened?

I’m so passionate about this, supporting people to navigate their fears and reframe their brains when it comes to birth and trust their in bodies ability to birth their baby.

Home birth is another topic which comes up, misconceptions about it being risky, and people not being supported by friends and family due to concerns it’s putting the baby in danger.

The outcome of the Lancet report (April 2020) “ Maternal outcomes and birth interventions among women who begin labour intending to give birth at home compared to women of low obstetrical risk who intend to give birth in hospital: A systematic review and meta-analyses” states the following:

“Among low-risk women, those intending to birth at home experienced fewer birth interventions and untoward maternal outcomes. These findings along with earlier work reporting neonatal outcomes inform families, health care providers and policy makers around the safety of intended home births.”
