Support around the time of having a new baby is so

Support around the time of having a new baby is so important - and there is no better support than those who are going through exactly the same things as you at the same time. Hopefully it won’t be too long before our lovely @allaboutantenatal clients will be able to meet up with their new antenatal friends in person for that slice of cake 🍰! .

Informed choice is everything when it comes to giv

Informed choice is everything when it comes to giving birth. Ironic really, because left to our own devices, away from the influence of social media and a long history of fear surrounding childbirth, our bodies would just get on with it and birth our babies. However, in our technologically advanced society, more faith is put in machines than in our own bodies resulting in a heck of a lot of traumatised parents. Yes, sometimes technology is needed and thank goodness we have it, but is that always the case?
⭐
At the end of the day, it all comes down to choice. Admittedly some choices are easier to make than others. especially when it comes to your baby's birth. Here are a few things that can help you.
🕵️‍♀️
Use B.R.A.I.N.S (Benefits, Risks, Alternatives, Instinct, Nothing, Smile) That way any choice you make is from a place of having all the information. 💭
Think about what you want your outcome to be. BTW, a healthy baby is a no brainer. Nobody goes into this wanting the unthinkable to happen. But that shouldn't mean you have to sacrifice your mental, physical and emotional well-being in the process. Have a birth plan - not from the point of sticking to it come hell or high water but so you can work out what's important to you. If do you have to make any choices you can figure out how likely it is to affect the path you had previously thought about taking and what can be retained even if things start to take a different route.
📚Educate yourself. Where are you getting the information from? Remember a Consultant and a Midwife may have different opinions about the same topic because they have different experiences. Where are they getting the evidence from? @drsarawickham is a fantastic resource for evidence based research
⏰
Unless there is an absolute emergency, you will have time to talk, so use it. Obvs it is easier to think clearly before the birth but the same thing applies during the birth, ask for some time to discuss it.
⚠️
NB Giving consent is NOT the same as having choice. You need to understand your choices before you can consent to them.

So what do I think about teaching hypnobirthing vi

So what do I think about teaching hypnobirthing via Zoom? I think it works ok! ⭐️
Is it the same as teaching face to face? Well, no but it’s the next best thing. ⭐️
How does it work?
I have found that keeping the classes small (just as I would in real life) means easier discussion and interaction. One of the disadvantages about Zoom, is that normal back and forth conversation isn’t particularly natural with more people because it cuts everybody off. Keeping the classes small (even though technically I could ‘fit’ more in - and make more 💰 by doing that) makes natural interaction easier. I just send a zoom link, you log on and away we go. ⭐️
What format do you teach it in?
Normally I would teach the course in a day. It’s always lovely, couples come to my house, I bake for them, they go for a yummy local lunch and we spend the whole day talking all things baby 👶🏻 ❤️. But doing things via zoom would probably be a tad intense for the whole day so I’ve split the course into two group sessions and one private which is working well. ⭐️
What about the hypnosis session though? Can you do that via Zoom? A big fat resounding ‘YES’! And it works very well indeed. I’m used to doing hypnosis this way as I’ve worked with clients via zoom even before lockdown.
⭐️
I’d really wanted to do a face-to-face course and don’t think I’ll get the same value on-line.
You get the same amount of ‘contact’ hours plus you get the benefit of a private session so you can discuss any concerns you have that are particularly pertinent to you. And you get the coolest goody bag.....which I keep adding to......coz I just can’t stop!!! ⭐️
How do I book?
Simples - just follow the link in my bio or you can message me to pay in instalments. ⭐️
And the best thing is, you can be from anywhere in the world 🌎 ❤️

Full disclosure. I don't like the word 'hypnobirt

Full disclosure. I don't like the word 'hypnobirthing'. I think it puts loads of people off and totally masks what it actually is. Yes, ok, hypnosis does come into it but purely for the benefit of making changes to the subconscious and making those change stick in a way that talking and having a chat, won't. There is so much more involved in a hypnobirthing course:
.
💑You really get to connect as a couple and focus on each other and the baby. I know times are crazy at the moment but it is very easy to get so caught up with the fear and anxiety of the current situation that we forget to focus on what is important. Spending time together doing a course really gives you a chance to tune into each other and the little one.
🤓You get to learn all about birth physiology. I know, I am a birth geek and this stuff excites me, but when you really understand what is happening when you birth your baby - you realise the whole thing is freakin' awesome. Understanding the process of birth, helps you to navigate it.
👩‍⚕️It teaches you to ask your midwife/Dr questions about your care and to establish whether interventions are medically necessary or hospital policy. ‍😴Spending time relaxing is so beneficial for you, and it is a good state of mind to get into (this is where the hypnosis comes in) because when you are relaxed it triggers all the powerful hormones you need for labour.
💆‍♀️Partners learn so much too. They learn how to support you, help with the contractions, ask questions and to get you out of a panicked state if they need to.
🏥It is for all type of births. Whether you plan on or end up having a straightforward birth, induction, caesarean etc. hypnobirthing can make a huge difference to how you feel about it all.
👶You are encouraged to think about a positive outcome. That's not a healthy mum and baby - that's obvious. Nor is it a water birth etc. it's about how you want to feel at the end of it. i.e 'happy' - because you can take that with you wherever your birth journey takes you.

Wow wow wow!!! Just look at this! Fantastic post from @emilybraydoula showing the importance of a relaxed jaw during labour.

PARALLELS ✨ Shown so clearly here in these amazing drawings by @luisaalexandre shared by @osteo_path 💛 How incredible are these comparisons! .
I already knew that there is a direct link between our jaw and pelvic floor ~ but seeing the visual similarities within the whole of the vocal system, womb and vulva is amazing. .
.
In labour, it’s important to keep a relaxed and loose jaw, as this will help the cervix to dilate. When we are tense or anxious we often hold tension in our jaw. So noticing the tension in your jaw (or your birth partner might notice this) might signal that you are holding tension elsewhere in your body, especially around your cervix. .
If you take a moment to focus on relaxing your jaw, it’s really noticeable how this impacts on your body - TRY IT NOW!
.
.
Maybe your shoulders drop, your eye lids may begin to close a little, your breathing may slow, maybe all the muscles in your body begin to relax ... these are all positive indications of your parasympathetic nervous system working - essential for labour, but beneficial for everyone ... helping your immune system to repair, blood pressure to lower, reduce anxiety... The benefits of this simple action are incredible. Our body is one big machine ... everything connected. When we tune in to this, wonderful things can happen. .

Thanks @thebirththing for posting this.
Look at the way the body works in an upright position. Now turn your phone so she is on her back - see how much harder the process is now!

☝️ UPRIGHT BIRTH☝️
.
Amazing UPRIGHT birth visual showing how gravity works in our favour to birth our babies!
.
If you can, staying upright, active and mobile in labour can really help you to have a more comfortable and efficient birth as:
.
✨GRAVITY will be at work to help encourage baby down the birth path.
.
✨Less pressure is on the mother's aorta in an upright position, therefore a better oxygen supply to baby.
.
✨Being upright can help the uterus contract more strongly & efficiently and can encourage baby into a more comfortable position to pass through the pelvis.
.
✨In a squatting or on hands-and-knees position, studies have shown that pelvic opening is WIDER than if you are lying on your back. And your tailbone is able to move backwards too!
.
✨Research has shown that upright birthing positions may increase maternal satisfaction and lead to a more POSITIVE BIRTH EXPERIENCE 🌟
.
So if in doubt, think U.F.O! (Upright. Forward. Open) and give the following positions a try:
.
✨Squatting or standing (supported by a partner or prop).
.
✨Kneeling upright or down on your hands-and-knees.
.
✨Using a birth seat or sitting on the loo.
.
✨ Swaying or rocking/rotating hips whilst standing.
.
✨ Walking - on a slight incline is ideal as that gets your pelvis forward.
.
✨Going up and down the stairs.
.
✨Sitting on or leaning over a birth ball.
.
✨Leaning against the back of the bed whilst on your knees.
.
✨ DANCE, baby! Just because you are in labour doesn't mean you can't have some fun and dance your baby down and out!
.
.
A lot of positions you adopt during labour are instinctive, so follow your body's lead. If you feel uncomfortable or wobbly, ask your birth partner, midwife or doula to physically support you. If a position doesn't feel right for you, then change it! Keep moving during labour and remember to rest between contractions to focus on your breathing.
