Babies In Waiting

Babies In Waiting We teach Pregnancy Relaxation, Hypnobirthing & Mother and Baby Clubs. Passionate about supporting pregnancy and birth positively. Classes across Essex, UK.

Hypnobirthing teaches couples tools and techniques to have a calm, relaxed birth. Baby Massage is a fantastic bonding experience and also helps with alleviating potential newborn ailments such as colic and reflux. Babies in Waiting like to nurture the relationship with the couples/mothers that attend our courses. We extend our support for as long as it is wanted. We hold monthly coffee mornings for our bumps and newborns and meet regularly at a local coffee shop with our Hypnomummies and toddlers. Having a baby is a life changing experience, our aim is to empower parents and support holistically.

Day 1 on the 12 days of questions. Let’s start with an important one to ask yourself.

What do I know about my baby that no one else knows?

This is a reminder that YOU are the expert on your baby. It may be the ‘smallest’ of things you know, what time they like to move, stretch or hiccup but you can build on this daily to build your trust in the amazing unique bond you have with your growing baby ❤️

💜• Sometimes, people ask why they need to read books about pregnancy and birth which look at the research in depth, when there are so many other things they could be doing.

Can’t you just follow what your midwife or doctor says, they ask?

Or go to a childbirth education class and have it summarised?

Well yes, you can totally do those things, if that’s what works for you.

We’re all different.

No shade on anyone’s decisions here.

But some people want to understand the evidence for themselves.

They want it explained by someone with deeper knowledge, and maybe to get the references, so they can read the original studies.

We also know that what’s in the guidelines that maternity care systems use isn’t always lined up with what the evidence says.

And these are big decisions, whose implications and effects can last a lifetime.

That’s where I come in.

Because there is sometimes a discrepancy between the actual evidence and what you get told by people in health care, and because the effects of your pregnancy and birth experience can last a lifetime, it is always a good idea to get informed before you decide what’s right for you.

I’m at www.sarawickham.com

My resources are designed to help you become informed and to understand the evidence, so you can decide what works for your situation.

Beautiful reflections • 💜 Labour doesn’t always follow the same pattern as the first. I was expecting my waters to break and then have time to eat, sleep and prepare the pool before my first surge. In reality, my waters broke when the baby’s head was coming out which was when my husband phoned the midwife.

💜 Labour can be much quicker the second time around. The cervix and birth canal have already been stretched, allowing for faster dilation and a shorter pushing stage. Fortunately, I knew this could be the case and got the pool up nice and early.

💜 Healing can take longer postpartum with your second baby. This is because abdominal and pelvic floor muscles are weaker and more stretched after having a second baby. Uterine muscles are also stretched a little more, sometimes creating after pains when going back to its normal size. This is the time to get family to support in whichever way they can. Fortunately, I have a husband who cooks so I was able to eat well and get some rest immediately after birth.

Wise words • “Dating pregnancy is not an exact science and there is considerable variation between women.

It is normal that some women naturally have longer pregnancies than others.

The idea that something terrible will happen if a woman remains pregnant for a moment longer than 42 weeks just isn’t true.

The baby doesn’t turn into a pumpkin at midnight.”

It’s so important that women have full information and are able to look at the pros and cons of different courses of action before making the decisions that are right for them.

Part of that is sorting the myths from the facts.

This quote is from my book, “Inducing Labour: making informed decisions.”
