I'm Jackie Blair (DipBG(KGH)) the founder of Nova Serene Birthing I am here to guide you to have the best birth for you.

I'm a certified and insured Hypnobirthing Practitioner, teaching courses across Northamptonshire and online for those further away.

I understand what it is like to feel apprehensive about birth. That was me when pregnant over a year ago. We hear so many awful stories about it don't we?

Hypnobirthing changed that for me and left me feeling empowered and passionate about supporting pregnant women. Honestly!

I am excited to see this change in my clients too. Birth doesn't have to be something to fear and it can be an incredibly positive experience.

I'd love to hear in the comments what your feelings are about giving birth and how I can help.

Remember if you're having a rubbish day that after every dark cloud there's a bright day after 🌤️

It is proven that relaxation during pregnancy reduces stress levels and along with breathing techniques, can aid in having a more comfortable and quicker birth.

The science behind this is:
the muscles of the uterus will tense and seize if the woman is stressed during birth resulting in opposing muscular action and a longer and uncomfortable birth.
Relaxation and breathing techniques eliminates stress hormones (such as adrenaline) and instead produces more oxytocin (love hormone) that supports uterine muscles working effectively and progressing labour.

Taking part in Pregnancy Relaxation Classes will help produce these benefits as well as help you to switch off.

I have upcoming Online Pregnancy Relaxation Classes and a Community Support Relaxation Session at Parklands Community Centre - look out for these!

According to evidence gathered*, black women in the UK are five times more likely to die in pregnancy and childbirth than white women, while Asian and mixed-race women are twice as likely.

The central finding of a year long inquiry into racial injustice and human rights in UK maternity care by the childbirth charity Birthrights found that urgent action must be taken to tackle systemic racism in UK maternity services.

This is the main reason I trained as a Hypnobirthing practitioner. It's so important that pregnant women from all backgrounds are equipped with the tools and support during pregnancy and in preparation for birth.
As a black female who has utilised the maternity service inequality is something that I am aware of and affected by.

It's important such issues are not pushed aside.

Feel free to comment and share your thoughts on whether you've experienced such inequality and whether you think this finding will make a difference.
