✨ The Stages of Pregnancy ✨

Pregnancy is a beautiful, ever-changing journey — and knowing what’s happening at each stage can help you feel more prepared and empowered. Here’s a quick guide through the trimesters:

🤰 FIRST TRIMESTER (Weeks 1–12)

Baby’s major organs and heartbeat are forming.

Common symptoms: fatigue, nausea, tender breasts, mood swings.

Your body is working incredibly hard behind the scenes!

💡 Tip: Eat small, frequent meals, stay hydrated, and rest when you can.

🌸 SECOND TRIMESTER (Weeks 13–27)

Often called the “golden trimester” — You may feel a boost in energy here.

Baby begins to move (hello, flutters!) and facial features develop.

You may notice a growing bump, glowing skin, and possibly some back aches.

💡 Tip: Gentle exercise, supportive clothing, and a nutrient-rich diet can help you feel your best.

🌟 THIRD TRIMESTER (Weeks 28–40)

Baby is gaining weight, practicing breathing, and preparing for birth.

Common symptoms: heartburn, swelling, difficulty sleeping, Braxton Hicks contractions.

It’s time to prepare your birth plan, pack your hospital bag, and rest as much as possible.

💡 Tip: Practice relaxation techniques, lean on your support system, and trust your body’s wisdom. It's almost time to meet your baby 🥰

🌿 Every stage has its challenges and joys — and each brings you closer to meeting your little one.
Remember: No two pregnancies are the same. Listen to your body, ask for support, and know that you are doing an amazing job. 💛

✨ At Serenity Birth Company, I am here to guide you through every stage of this journey with knowledge, compassion, and confidence. Pop me a message if you'd like to know more 🫶🏽

✨ The Partner’s Role in Birth ✨

Birth isn’t just about the birthing person—it’s a team effort. As a partner, your presence, energy, and support can make a HUGE difference. 💕

Here are some ways to feel more involved and supportive:

👂 Be present & listen
Your calm reassurance helps more than you know. Sometimes, your quiet presence is all that’s needed.

🤲 Offer comfort measures
Massage, counterpressure, holding hands, or helping with breathing techniques can ease intensity.

💧 Think of the basics
Offer sips of water, snacks, a cool cloth, or lip balm—small gestures matter.

🗣️ Advocate with love
Help communicate her wishes to the care team so she can stay focused on the experience.

🌸 Stay calm & grounded
Your energy sets the tone. Take deep breaths with her, stay positive, and remind her she is powerful.

✨ Remember: You don’t need to fix anything—you just need to be there. Your love and presence are the greatest support.

💡 Partners—you are an essential part of the birth team. Your role is more than just being in the room; it’s about being present, supportive, and empowering. Save this post as a gentle reminder for when the big day comes. 💕

👉 Share this with a partner who wants to feel more confident and involved during birth.

✨ Did you know hypnobirthing isn’t just for home births? ✨

Hypnobirthing is often linked with calm, natural home births — but its tools are powerful in any birth setting. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, a birth centre, a home birth, or even a caesarean, hypnobirthing techniques can support you.

🌿 Breathing practices help you stay centred.
🌿 Relaxation scripts reduce tension and fear.
🌿 Knowledge empowers you to make informed choices.
🌿 Affirmations keep you connected to your confidence.

Every birth is unique — and hypnobirthing is about preparing your mind and body so you can feel calm, confident, and in control wherever and however you give birth. 🤍

🕊 FIND PEACE IN THE PAIN OF LABOUR 🕊

I would like to address the common misconception that hypnobirthing will provide you with a 'pain-free' birth experience!

This week I supported a woman to achieve a beautiful vaginal birth after a previous caesarean section 🙌🏼 However her hypnobirthing education had left her with some rather unrealistic self expectations 😔 She had attended a hypnobirthing course and arrived on Delivery Suite with a detailed birth plan which heavily anticipated a labour free from pain- it was heartbreaking to hear her voice what a failure she thought she was for finding birth painful!

So let's clear a few things up...

⚫️ Feeling pain in labour has a purpose- Pain tunes you in to what needs attention, your body is telling you to listen and respond to it's needs

⚫️ Pain pushes you to find comfort- Sensations of labour tell you to move your body, seek safety and find comfort in loved ones

⚫️ Pain during labour is not bad, dangerous or proof of dysfunction

⚫️ Pain in the absence of fear, unfamiliarity, tension and disruption is manageable and normal

⚫️ Labouring in a safe environment amongst people you love and trust allows you to experience the sensation of pain without suffering from it

⚫️ Pain in labour does not mean a painful labour

Serenity Birth Company Hypnobirthing does not promise to remove all pain from your labour- What it does provide you with is an intensive birth education, a deeper understanding of what happens to your body during labour and a unique set of tools to use to create power and peace in your own experiences 🤍

Feel pain in labour - But more than that, feel POWERFUL, PEACEFUL AND PRODUCTIVE 💪🏼
