Love Labour Hypnobirthing

Let’s talk about tearing during childbirth - it’s common, but there are ways to help prevent it! 🌸

Some of my top tips are:
- Perineal massage (from 34 weeks)
- Optimal positioning (do NOT birth on your back! Try upright, forward and open positions)
- Following your body and breathing baby out
- Warm compresses (A warm cloth can be held against the perineum during the pushing stage)
- Water birth (increases elasticity and reduces pressure on the perineum)

Your body is amazing and can be prepared. You’ve got this!

🌿 The Effects of Being Observed in Birth 🌿

Did you know that simply being watched can change how your body labours?

Birth is guided by hormones - especially oxytocin, the hormone of love, safety, and flow.
But when we feel observed, judged, rushed, or on display, the body can switch into “fight or flight.”

This can lead to:
• Slower or stalling contractions
• More tension and pain
• Difficulty relaxing or feeling “in the zone”
• Increased need for intervention

Because the body thinks: “This isn’t safe.”

In contrast, when a birthing person feels private, protected, and unobserved, the body is more likely to release the hormones needed for birth to unfold smoothly.

✨ Dim lights
✨ Fewer people in the room
✨ Quiet voices
✨ Feeling emotionally safe

These small changes can have a powerful effect.

Hypnobirthing isn’t about controlling birth — it’s about creating the conditions where the body can do what it already knows how to do. 🤍

Save this for later & share with someone preparing for birth.

Honouring the life and work of Michel Odent, a pioneer who forever changed the way we understand and support birth. 💙

He was well known for introducing the concept of the birth pool, giving women the chance to labour and birth in water - a gift I am personally grateful for, having used a birth pool twice myself!

His wisdom reminded us that birth is a natural process, deserving of respect, patience, and gentleness. May his legacy continue to inspire generations of mothers, families, and caregivers. 🌿🕊️
