✨Positive Affirmation ✨

When we are tense we hold so much tension in our shoulders and our jaw. As we exhale we can consciously release that tension.

Try it now!

Take a long slow inhale through your nose.
.. Pause...

Now take a long slow exhale out of your mouth. In your mind silently say "release." Let your shoulders drop and your mouth gently smile, letting go of the tightness on your jaw.

Try this three times in total.

Feel different?

Amazing what a few deep breaths can do. 🧘🏼‍♀️

🤰📣 Attention all mamas-to-be! 📣🤰

Maybe you're at that stage in pregnancy where you're just glowing and everything is feeling great, and you feel fabulous ✨. Until that is, you start to think about the birth of your baby... and maybe you start to feel pretty darn anxious about it? I mean, after all those horrendous, screaming, bloody, birth scenes you see on film and TV 📺, who wouldn't feel anxious! In fact, I wouldn't blame you if you actually felt really scared about it.

I have the answer for you. 💞

HYPNOBIRTHING.

Hypnobirthing is a rational, pragmatic, yet astoundingly beautiful, way to approach childbirth. It utilises the power of the mind body connection; by remaining calm, in a hypnotic, deep relaxed state, your body and baby can get on with doing the job they are designed to do. 🧘‍♀️

Hypnobirthing gives the power back to women - you will go into the experience of birthing your baby feeling strong, confident, and certain of your intuition. 💞

Come and join us on Sunday 21 July @7.30pm for an immersive experience of what hypnobirthing can do for you
https://www.tickettailor.com/events/sagebirth/128091?

You can join our next group class starting Saturday 10 Aug at St Gabriel's Church, Heaton.

Please get in touch if you have any questions at all. I love to chat all things babies and birth.

Raise your hand if you're guilty of believing one (or ALL) of these 🙋🏼‍♀️

Yupp me too.

I'm not sure if it's the name of it or what it is that leads people to these initial assumptions. Certainly the name doesn't do the techniques, mindset shift, and female empowerment, justice. ✨

Still not convinced? I wrote a whole blog on hypnobirthing myths earlier this week. Check out the link in my stories! I'll have you (and your sceptical partner) convinced 😉

Check out my new blog post and have your hypnobirthing myths busted!!

Is it really as hippy dippy as it sounds?

Do hypnobirthers really push natural birth at all costs?

I'm having a c-section. Wouldn't hypnobirthing be pretty useless?

🤰📣Calling all pregnant mamas to be!! 📣 🤰

How are you feeling about your baby's birth? Does it seem like a huge, scary, thing that feels so beyond you? Do you think you want be able to manage it?

That's pretty normal and I can help. ⭐

HYPNOBIRTHING helps take you from this place of fear to a place of calm confidence where you feel strong in the knowledge that you and your baby know how to navigate natural childbirth. You will learn tools that support you in managing any anxieties, and remaining calm. You will better understand how labour, and the pushing stage, all work. 🌈

When you feel afraid, you feel more tense, and you feel more pain. In labour this can easily become a vicious cycle. If you practice hypnobirthing, you feel calm, your muscles are relaxed, and your body does what it needs to do. 🌷

Pop along to my FREE ONLINE taster this Sunday at 7.30pm to learn more. Sign up here:

We had the best time on our holiday in Italy. Totally recommend Lake Garda as a brilliant family spot. Food, drink, scenery, sunshine, all on point. Can't wait to go back!!

It was so nice for us to have time as a family as my husband works a lot and has been working and living away from home since February.

Pregnancy yoga is a wonderful way to practice the techniques of hypnobirthing; learn how to release tension, experience powerful sensations with joy, and relax.

The only person doing any "allowing" is you. Nobody can tell you what to do with your body or how to birth your baby. 🤰🏼

A care provider may respectfully provide information on the benefits and risks of all your options and through that you may choose to birth in hopsital. But this is your choice. NOT your care provider's. 🏥

Some women will choose to have a homebirth rather than attend an obstetric hospital setting, with or without a midwife. They are legally protected in British law to do so. 🏡

Unassisted, or freebirth, is legal and may seem like the best option for some women.

Ultimately, everything is an option and different people will make different decisions. We should all be given space to make a choice with respect and good, balanced, information. 🌟

Ever noticed that about Easter? I have no idea when it arrives "on time" and I still have no idea why it moves about every year... 🐇 🌼 🌸

Babies are similarly always treated as if they are early or late. They are given one day, their "due date", to be bang on with their timing 🕑. And as we all know by now, due dates are a myth!

Some people even believe whether baby is early or late that it says a lot about their personality. A whirlwind or super chill. What do you think?

12/03/2024

Does this information change how you'd feel about being offered a post-dates induction? Some people are offered induction from 41 weeks due to baby being "late."

When I found this information out it shocked me! Isn't it crazy how maternity care treats the 40 week due date as an expiration date? It's like your baby is a pint of milk going bad 🥛

I love to play a guessing game with clients and see what they come up with as the average length of pregnancy! Before I became more educated, I assumed it was the 40 week due date.

If you've had a baby before, I'd love to know, what gestation were they when born?

🚨 hypnobirthing myth 🚨

Hypnobirthing is so much more than doing some breathing in labour.

Hypnobirthing is extensive practice, education, commitment, and a mind-set shift.

It leaves you feeling confident and strong.

You will understand how to ask questions and make informed decisions about your care, and that of your baby. This is true consent.

What else do you assume about hypnobirthing? I'd love to debunk some more myths 😄

🤰📣Attention all pregnant mamas 📣🤰

I know how you're feeling about birth...

Everyone and their cousin has been telling you their horror stories. You've watched yet another dramatic scene of birth on TV. 📺No wonder you're feeling anxious and trying not to think about it.

Guess what? Your baby's birth doesn't have to be like that. You can use relaxation and breathing techniques to feel calm. You can arm yourself with knowledge about the physiology of birth. You can feel empowered because you know your rights and how to make informed choices. You can feel confident and trusting of the wisdom of your body, and the natural process of birth.

I'm Soraya, from Sage Birth and I can guide you from a place of fear to a place of calm, confidence. 🌈 I am passionate about mums and babies having the best start in life together. 🤱

Where can I give birth in Newcastle-upon-Tyne? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Great question! And one I'm glad you're asking. So many women don't know that they get a choice about this.

With home birth services suspended and the RVI Birthing Centre on again off again status more confusing than Ross and Rachel, I hope my latest blog article helps you lay out what your options are.

Check it out in my link tree or follow the link my stories.

The question of where to give birth in Newcastle upon Tyne is a great question and one I am glad you are asking. Did you know you have a right to choose your place of birth?
