Princess of Wales Kate Middleton featured in this month’s Australian Women’s Weekly February 2026 Edition ().⁠
⁠
Kate shared her tip on enduring labour → "Hypnobirthing all the way."⁠
⁠
Kate used hypnobirthing to support all three of her labours. ⁠
⁠
In an interview with Giovanna Fletcher on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast , Kate spoke about wanting to feel in control, and how hypnobirthing gave her the tools to achieve this, along with managing pain and anxiety. ⁠
⁠
This highlights the misconception that hypnobirthing is “woo-woo.” ⁠
⁠
In reality, our Positive Birth Program is a comprehensive, evidence-based childbirth education course designed to equip birthing women and their birth partners with the knowledge, tools, support, and method of preparation needed to approach birth in an empowered way.

🤱✨ C-Section Scar Care Tips ✨

Healing takes time, mama — proper care helps your scar heal safely and beautifully.

💧 Keep It Clean & Dry – Gently wash with mild soap and water, then pat dry.
👕 Wear Loose Clothing – Avoid tight waistbands that rub the incision.
🚫 Avoid Heavy Lifting – Give your body time to recover (usually 6 weeks).
🩹 Don’t Pick or Scratch – Let scabs heal naturally to prevent infection.
🚶 Move Gently – Light walking improves circulation and healing.
🥗 Eat Healing Foods – Protein, fruits, and vegetables help tissue repair.
☀️ Protect From Sun – Sun exposure can darken the scar permanently.
🧴 Use Scar Cream (If Approved by Doctor) – Only after incision fully closes.
⚠️ Watch for Warning Signs – Redness, swelling, pus, fever, or severe pain → consult your doctor.

💖 Your C-section scar is a symbol of strength — a beautiful reminder of bringing life into the world.
