Learning what happens physically during birth is great but it doesn't teach you how to feel calm in those intense moments.

Understanding the psychology behind birth is where the gold is, it is not simply learning breathing techniques and hoping for the best. It takes practice and commitment to yourself and your baby.

There is work to do if you're game.

Join me later this month for a small online live hypnobirthing session to understand the basics and pave the way for your empowered birth journey.

"All that matters is a healthy baby" right?

If you feel like a safe and healthy baby is the absolute bare minimum you should expect from your birth, there's a reason for that.

Remember that your baby experiences birth as well. How you experience birth impacts your emotional wellbeing. Your emotional wellbeing impacts your parenting journey, your physical health, your relationship...

So does a positive birth even matter? YES. Read more https://www.thewillowtreedoula.com/post/why-a-positive-birth-matters

He also loves telling me that both births were DULL and that he loved our Homebirth because he could bang some chicken nuggets in the oven while I was in labour... 🙃😂

Jokes aside, he nailed being a birth partner!

❇️ Fear Vs Calm

Learning how your brain responds to fear can help you understand how your body may respond to information, changes and the process of labour.

The techniques and tools taught in hypnobirthing aim to reduce your fear response so you can labour favourably.

More than that, hypnobirthing techniques can improve your emotional wellbeing throughout the perinatal journey.

Loved seeing a lovely group of mums come together to support each other today!

Sometimes you just need a space to breathe, connect and let go in those early days 🫶🏻

🌸 Perinatal Mental Health covers such a broad range of symptoms and diagnoses and how these impact you is unique to you.

Sometimes the symptoms you've been managing for a lifetime can become exacerbated and destabilise you due to hormone shifts, increased responsibility, sleep deprivation, birth recovery, relationship changes... The list really goes on and on.

Sometimes the effects of the postnatal period can take you by surprise or it might have been something you've tried to push through and hide. It may feel as though it was inevitable in your circumstances or it may seem like it's come out of nowhere.

It's all valid.

There are many things that should be more openly discussed amongst us as mum's but can feel shameful to talk about. But getting early support for your emotional wellbeing, whatever this looks like, during the perinatal period can help you manage effectively and benefit you and your family.

Amazing support and resources are available through: northwest

Such a lovely first group today 🥰

Discussed sleep and rest in the early postnatal period
- the importance of doing what works for you and your family
- resisting the urge to "fix"
- how mindfulness can rest your mind and nervous system to make the exhaustion just a little more tolerable

I so enjoyed creating this space for mammas to reset, breath and chat openly and take some mindfulness techniques into their week ahead! 🫶🏻
