When one becomes two (or three of four or more!)

Its something I've been thinking about recently, when I bought my second child home from the hospital back in 2021.

There is a seven year age gap between them so we had been used to just having my son for a long time.

Whilst I was pregnant, the country was in lock down so we were juggling working and home schooling our son from home, which was certainly different from my son's pregnancy!

One thing which certainly knocked me for six was when I brought my daughter home.
Whilst in hospital I couldn't wait to get home and see my son.

However when I walked through the door, I had such huge emotions. I was obviously so happy and excited to see my son after a few days away from him, but then I was also hit with feeling so overwhelmed and scared. We now had two children! What do we do!

The first few weeks continued to be a whirlwind of emotions enhanced by tiredness. However as the weeks went on, we found our groove and routine and had amazing support from our family.

This is why when I do my hypnobirthing refresher courses, I also include post-natal planning into the discussion. The realities of bringing your baby home to your older children and how that looks, what support you can put in place and what you can pre-plan in advance to help with the transition.

If you are pregnant with baby number two (or three or four or more!) please feel free to get in touch and we can discuss more and put a tailored package together 🥰

Hello everyone! 🥰👋 I thought that as i've had some new followers recently, I would introduce myself.

Im Becca and im a local hypnobirthing/antenatal teacher based in the East Surrey area.
I also volunteer on the post-natal ward every week at East Surrey Hospital.
I have very recently completed my peer supporter training with local charity Cafe Milk, who support families with infant feeding. I will be at Redhill (The Light) on a Wednesday.

My husband and I have been together since 2008. We had our son in 2014 and our daughter in 2021.
After discovering hypnobirthing for my daughter's birth, i absolutely fell in love with it and the birth experience i had with her! It was following her birth i decided to train and become a hypnobirthing teacher myself.

Fast forward a few years on, and I can honestly say i love my job! From working with expecting parents-to-be with their pregnancy and birth journey, to looking after mums postnatally in the hospital ward and with feeding support.

I look forward to meeting more families soon. If you have any questions, please do get in touch 🥰

A very special thank you to
who took these amazing photos 🥰🫶

✨️ Questions to ask about induction ✨️

According to NHS statistics, induction rates were 33% in 2023-2024. Spontaneous labour has reduced from 64% in 2012-2013 to 43% in the same period. The increase in caesarean births is from 13% in 2012-2013 to 23%.

There are a number of reasons why induction is offered. This can include medical reasons, membranes breaking and risk of infection, or purely going past 40 weeks.

This is where asking questions and using B.R.A.I.N.S is so important.
Don't be afraid to ask the questions, gather your evidence and information, so you can make an informed decision based on this knowledge.

I have put my favourite questions to ask on the slides above.
Prepare your list of questions before you have your appointment, and make sure to bring it with you.

Also, remember you can ask for time before making any decision. Allow yourself time to process the information you have received and then go back with a decision.

The brilliant has some fantastic resources around induction. I can highly recommend her book In Your Own Time.

I discuss induction in more detail during my courses, including decision-making tools and birth planning.

For more details please get in touch 😊

✨️ Recent Reviews ✨️

Thank you to the lovely ladies who very kindly left me reviews recently, following my pregnancy relaxation special last month 😊

When I started my pregnancy relaxation sessions a couple of years ago, my goal was to provide mums-to-be with that space in order to connect, unwind, reflect and enjoy that time just for them. To be able to really deeply relax and gain all the benefits from this.

So when I receive reviews like this, it makes me feel so happy knowing mums-to-be are getting everything they should be 🥰

My next pregnancy relaxation special will be taking place on Sunday 7th September. You can find details on my grid, bio or website (www.beyourownbirth.co.uk).

Look forward to meeting more mums-to-be soon! ☺️🫶

✨️ What to expect whilst staying in the post-natal ward✨️

As most of you maybe aware, I volunteer every week on the post-natal ward (Burstow Ward) at East Surrey Hospital.

I absolutely love every time I am there and the support I provide new mums and families 🥰

I thought it would be helpful to provide some key information when it comes to staying in the post-natal ward if you are having a hospital birth.

This information is mainly based around East Surrey Hospital. So, if you are giving birth elsewhere, it's always best to check your local Trusts guidelines and information.

As with all antenatal education, learning about the post-natal period is equally as important and preparing for the 4th trimester.

Prepare for your post-natal ward stay and pack things which will make your stay more comfortable.

For more information please get in touch.

And if you are due to give birth at East Surrey Hospital , hopefully i will meet you soon! 🥰

✨️ Everyday Affirmations - Love is around ❤️✨️

This is one of my favourite quotes from the film Love Actually. And it's so true!

Love isn't just a romantic notion. It’s woven into the fabric of everyday life. It can be laughter shared with a friend, taking comfort of someone holding your hand during a tough day, or kind gestures such as a stranger who holds the door open.

Love is in the thoughtful messages we send, the simple acts of kindness we show, and the hugs that remind us we’re not alone.

It’s in the connections you already have, waiting to be acknowledged and embraced.

It's also new love waiting to be explored, meeting new people, and forming new relationships.
If you are pregnant reading this, I can promise you the love you will feel when meeting your baby will be a love you have never experienced before 🫶

So, in whatever form it takes, give love, embrace love, and take joy in where love shows itself 🥰

✨️ Birth tip of day- discussions with your birth partner about birth ✨️

Having a prepared birth partner is just as important as mum-to-be being prepared herself.

This includes involving the birth partner with birth education, relaxation techniques and also birth plans.

I've included examples of topics on slide on what to discuss with the birth partner whilst birth planning.

But they key is that the birth partner feels prepared, informed and understands mum-to-be's birth preferences are so that he or she can advocate during labour if needs be.

The more prepared birth partner is, the more confident they will feel to support mum-to-be and provide the support needed.

During my courses, I cover plenty of content for birth partners. For more info please get in touch.
