Hypnobirthing Haven with Emily Sheppard

Hypnobirthing Haven with Emily Sheppard Hypnobirthing is a complete in-depth antenatal and relaxation course, it’s simple, logical & it works It is logical, simple, practical....and very effective!

It is so important to prepare well for the birth of your baby to enable you to take control and make the choices that are right for you and your baby whichever path your birth takes to give your baby (and you) the best possible start! Hypnobirthing is more than just positive thinking and breathing exercises ~ it is a complete in-depth antenatal course. It enables a woman to work with her body, which is designed to give birth. It releases the fear and negativity that she has been programmed with from an early age (from dramatized T.V births for example or stories from family/friends or possibly even from a personal previous negative experience) and replaces it with calm confidence for the birth of her baby. The full course covers labour and birth preparation and provides women with the knowledge to enable them to be confident in their choices rather than making decisions based on fear. It teaches relaxation techniques to help achieve a calm, comfortable and often drug free birth if that is what you desire (It is not about having to have a drug free birth - we also discuss all pain relief options). Hypnobirthing is a wonderful asset to facilitate a natural birth however, it is also extremely beneficial to any kind of birth, wherever and however that birth happens. It is also beneficial to baby as the hormones the mother produces are passed on to the baby. If mother is relaxed, baby is relaxed which is especially important in labour. Fathers quite often come to the class unwillingly and a little bit sceptical, though once they have started, they see it is logical, that it is based on science, anatomy, psychology and common sense and they go away having really enjoyed the course and being the best advocates for the method. I also offer short antenatal sessions if that is something that is more suited to you and your needs.

“All interventions have pros and cons, and it's a question of being able to weigh them up within your individual context.

It's also the case that you might want an intervention, drug or product in one situation but not another.”

That’s a quote from my book, Anti-D Explained.

Anti-D is the name of a medicine offered to rhesus negative pregnant women and new mums who may have been exposed to rhesus positive blood. It's known as RhoGAM® in the USA.

Anti-D is given in the hope of preventing them from making antibodies which may cause problems for future babies.

But like every drug, treatment or intervention, it has pros and cons.

Which means you need to weigh up the evidence, consider the issues and decide whether or not it’s right for you.

With Anti-D, you might consider that it’s right for you in some circumstances but not in others.

I have written a popular book on this topic, called Anti-D Explained.

If you want to be led gently by the hand on a journey through the information, then my book is the answer.

I also offer links to a few supplementary Anti-D resources on my website.

These include documents and resources that offer a variety of perspectives and levels of information.

You can see my Anti-D information hub and find out more about the book at https://www.sarawickham.com/anti-d

I hope you'll find it useful 😊

😂 OMG I so love this (except for the fact she was put in that position in the first place 😒) xx

imagine sq**rting your breastmilk at someone who told you to stop feeding your baby, because you were “distracting her husband.”

that’s exactly what one mama did.

she was nursing quietly when another woman marched over and demanded she move.
not because of noise. not because of space.
but because her ‘husband’ couldn’t stop looking.

so the mama gave her the answer she deserved,
a sq**rt of milk straight to the face 🤭!

let’s be super clear, babies deserve to eat without shame.
mamas deserve to feed without being policed.
and if a grown man is “distracted,” that’s not on a breastfeeding mama!

what do you think, was this mama out of line, or a total badass?

share this if you’re tired of women being shamed for feeding their babies. follow me Amy, for more 🖤

Hypnobirthing Haven - Our Story

Hypnobirthing is a complete in-depth antenatal and relaxation course, providing you with the tools and knowledge for a relaxed and empowering birth to give your baby the best possible start in life. It is logical, simple, practical....and very effective!

Hello, My name is Emily Sheppard, I am passionate about supporting women to have the birth that they want, no matter how or where they are planning to have their baby.

I want women to know and to understand that they have options and it is them who are in control of any decisions that need to be made. When decisions are made out of information with risks and benefits from both sides then it is much more likely for it to be a positive experience. If decisions are based on fear with a lack of information then it is quite likely to become a traumatic experience which unfortunately happens all to often.

I want more women to be able to believe and have confidence in themselves and to trust that their body knows exactly what to do to birth their baby - just as it has grown their baby as birth is a physiological event and not a medical one in the majority of women. “Birth is an Emergence, not an Emergency”
