Introducing my team......😂

Don't worry, Wilson doesn’t actually deliver any classes (or do admin, or socials, or make me a brew..... 🤔)

Wilson is our 7yo Giant Schnauzer and he is an invaluable member of the HWHB team! He is constantly by my side in the office (yes, constantly), he likes a little ear tickle every now and then and sometimes tries to climb onto my lap. He gets me outdoors on a walk twice a day and never leaves me in any doubt of when it is actually lunchtime!

I have taught so many dog people, I even consider advertising at the vets! Are you pregnant and you have a furry friend? Or did you have a dog alongside a previous pregnancy?

“How painful is birth with an epidural?” 💉🤔

It’s a good question—and the honest answer is: it depends.

An epidural is a form of pain relief given during labour that blocks sensation from the waist down. For many, it brings significant relief, often reducing the intensity of contractions to a dull pressure or tightening feeling.

But it’s not always 100% pain-free, and experiences can vary. Some still feel discomfort during certain stages (like pressure as baby moves down), and it can affect mobility and how much you can feel to help birth your baby.

Here’s the thing 👉 An epidural is a tool—not a guarantee.

And like all tools, it’s most powerful when you understand how and when to use it.

Whether you’re considering an epidural or not, techniques like hypnobirthing, breathwork, and movement can help you feel calm and in control—with or without drugs.

Your birth, your choice. 💛

Let’s make sure you feel informed, supported, and ready—whatever you decide.

“Why is my baby measuring big?” is a question I hear all the time.

And I completely understand why it can feel worrying — but the reality is much gentler than most people are led to believe 💛

Some babies are bigger because of:
• genetics
• staying in the womb a little longer
• blood sugar levels
• or simply because that’s how your baby is built

A bigger baby does not mean something has gone wrong.
And it certainly doesn’t mean you can’t have a calm, positive birth.

The more you understand your body and your baby, the more confident and relaxed you can feel as you prepare for birth.

Big babies can be born beautifully ✨

And you deserve to feel calm and supported whatever your baby’s size.

My most recent blog goes into this in more detail:

It's possible that every single pregnant person I have ever come across worries about having a big baby - and the number of people who

📣 Parents-to-be! If you’re wondering which hypnobirthing course is best... read on 💫

There are some amazing options out there. But if I had to shout out one that really stands out, it’s The Calm Birth School 💜 And I'll be honest, I'm biased, I learnt The Calm Birth School method when I was pregnant, and its the method I teach now!

It's modern, down-to-earth, and totally accessible – it’s designed for real people with real lives. 🙌

Hypnobirthing isn’t just about breathing techniques – it’s about understanding your body, your choices, and building serious confidence for birth. And that’s exactly what The Calm Birth School does SO well ✨

There are of course other lovely options out there too (like Positive Birth Company, Katharine Graves, and Mindful Birth) – but if you’re after something super empowering, straight-talking and actually FUN – Calm Birth School is 100% for you 💕

Feel free to message me if you want the low-down on my experience or help choosing what's right for you!

🕰️ When should you start hypnobirthing? 🤰

Great question – and one I get asked all the time!

I advise most people to start hypnobirthing around 25–32 weeks, which gives you time to learn the tools, practise regularly, and really build that calm, confident mindset before birth. It’s also a great time to start thinking about your birth preferences and creating a way forward that feels right for you.

But if you’re further along – don’t worry. I’ve had parents join later in pregnancy (even 36+ weeks!) and still find it incredibly helpful. Hypnobirthing isn’t just about months of prep – it’s about learning how to feel more in control, release fear, and work with your body and mind… and that can make a huge difference, no matter when you start.

If you're thinking about it – trust that nudge. Whether you're 14 weeks or 38 weeks, hypnobirthing can support your birth, your way.

Why antenatal classes are important 📖

With so much to prepare for when expecting a baby, antenatal classes can easily be overlooked — but they’re one of the most valuable things you can do. 💡

These classes aren’t just about labour techniques. They provide essential information, emotional support, and practical advice to help you feel more confident as you approach birth and parenthood.

Here’s why they matter:

1. Knowledge builds confidence 💪
Understanding what to expect during labour, delivery, and those first days with a newborn can ease fears and help you feel more in control.

2. Support for birth partners 👭
Partners are encouraged to take part too, learning how to support you effectively and be involved in the whole experience.

3. Connect with others 💞
You’ll meet other expectant parents going through the same journey — many people form lasting friendships and support circles this way.

4. Realistic preparation 📚
Whether you have a birth plan or are keeping your options open, antenatal classes help you prepare for different outcomes and adapt calmly if plans change.

5. Life after birth 👶
Most classes also cover baby care, feeding, sleep, emotional changes, and relationship shifts — giving you a better idea of what’s to come once you’re home.

6. Ask anything ❓
There’s no such thing as a silly question — and chances are, someone else is wondering the same thing!

7. Mental wellbeing 🙋🏽‍♀️
Classes often touch on postnatal mental health, helping you spot signs early and know where to get support if needed.

Whether it’s your first baby or not, antenatal classes help you feel informed, supported, and less alone.

So what are hypnobirthing techniques? 🤔

🧘‍♀️ Breathing techniques – Not just any old deep breaths! We’re talking specific rhythms to help you stay calm, ride those waves (a.k.a. contractions!), and even breathe your baby down gently. Magic? Nope — just science + practice.

🎧 Relaxation & visualisation – Think guided tracks, calming music, and picturing yourself on a beach instead of in a hospital room. Your mind is powerful, and it totally affects how your body responds during birth.

🗣️ Positive affirmations – Sounds cheesy, but repeating things like “My body knows how to birth my baby” works wonders. It helps rewire the fear we’ve been taught to feel about birth.

🧠 Understanding birth physiology – Knowledge = power. Hypnobirthing gives you a deep understanding of what your body is actually doing, so you can work with it, not against it.

👫 Birth partner involvement – Yep, they’ve got a job too! Hypnobirthing gives partners tools to support, advocate, and keep you in your calm zone.

It's not about having a “perfect birth” – it's about feeling prepared, informed and empowered, whatever path your birth takes. 💕

If you're pregnant (or know someone who is), hypnobirthing might just be the confidence boost you're looking for.
