🤰 Home to hospital in Labour 🤰

Have you thought about the impact on your feelings and emotions transferring from home to hospital whilst you're in labour? 🚗
The transfer can actually impact your labour so don't be surprised if surges (contractions) slow down or even stop.
Many women can find it disruptive as you move away from your safety net of home comforts.

Sometimes this shift in surroundings and leaving your home environment can heighten adrenaline (working against your oxytocin and endorphins - needed for strong, powerful and effective surges) or give the woman a feel of loss of control, which can put your body into a fight or flight mode, slowing surges and impacting how effective your body is working for labour.

Things that can help whilst you're on the journey to the hospital are:
🌿Calm breathing techniques
🌿Visualisations
🌿Taking home comforts such as a blanket or familiar item/smell
🌿Positive self affirmations

To learn more on how to use some great tools and techniques, as well as feeling calm, confident, and in control, then message me now 📩

I am a birth preparation, hypnobirthing, and pregnancy relaxation teacher in Dorset. I've worked with expectant parents, or just mums-to-be to help them feel informed, supported and confident about birth and the maternity system.

✨️Being Prepared For The Birth Of Your Baby ✨️

And I'm not just talking about a 'spontaneous labour'! Being prepared and feeling informed is vital for all births, whether that's via a caesarean section, induction or spontaneous labour... whether you're at home, in hospital or a midwife led unit.
How can this mental and physical preparation help you?..
🌿Feeling calm during the processes will help keep your body relaxed, your oxytocin (love hormone) flowing and your body working most efficiently.
❤️Oxytocin is the 'love' hormone, it works with your own body's natural endorphins which are your feel good hormones and natural body pain relief. Oxytocin is also great for bonding, those first baby cuddles and for breastfeeding once baby is born.. this is for caesarean sections too so it's all important!
🌬Being mentally prepared and feeling informed of your options and choices can help you remain calm if your birth takes a different path and different options are discussed with you.. or your birth partner can be your advocate!!

There's so much more to birth than just 'giving birth' and going with the flow without actually being informed.
How you feel, plus how prepared you are can aid recovery and assist your mindset following the birth of your baby.

✨️I work with expectant mums, and parents-to-be for full hypnobirthing courses as well as private 1:1 birth preparation sessions.
I have upcoming courses and 1:1 private availability at your home address.

🌸Group Couples Birth Preparation course - Saturday 17th January in Dorchester .
🌸Mummy-to-Be and Bump Retreat - Saturday 14th February in Dorchester

📩 message me to enquire or discuss a personalised course for you.

Following the hectic days of Christmas, into the New Year is a perfect time to slow down, relax and get prepared and informed for birth.

This is so true, and often dads get forgotten.. forgotten for any challenges or worries through the mother's pregnancy, forgotten whilst possibly in hospital for hours or days, forgotten after birth with the new life, new emotions and challenges.

💙 1 in 8 men experience a mental health condition such as anxiety or depression but too many suffer in silence.

This , we’re standing with dads, dads to be, and all the incredible men in our community to raise awareness for men’s mental health and wellbeing. 👨‍👧

It’s okay to ask for help. It’s okay to talk. You’re not alone. 💬✨

🌸Caesarean Birth🌸
Having a caesarean section can feel like a big choice and like control has been taken away from you, which some women feel a bit daunted by. Some may feel disheartened and nervous about the unknown, or as though they won't experience "birth" and if this is you, it's so important to remember that you DO have OPTIONS and CHOICES. 🌸
Your feelings are valid and are important whether you're excited, nervous, scared, feel unsure, happy or sad!

You can make the birth of your baby more personal to you and you CAN feeling in control, feel confident and feel informed!

I run caesarean focused birth courses whereby you learn Hypnobirthing techniques for birth and the lead up to your caesarean date, plus they can be used for recovery and into parenthood.🤱
You will finish the course feeling informed and confident in your options and you will know how to work with your hormones to have the best birth, bonding and recovery for you. 🌸
Did you know you still have the options of music for your caesarean birth? Would you like to see baby be born?
There is so much you still have control over!

Learn to focus on the positives, embrace your birth and learn to control what you can, but let go of what you can't.

If you're thinking about a caesarean section or have one planned and want to know more, message me today to discuss a 1:1 tailored course for you.

My courses are £160 which covers:
✨️Full course content for you and your birth partner
✨️Caesarean focused hypnobirthing workbook
✨️Goodie bag
✨️MP3 relaxation audio

LABOUR!

Many people think that the signs of labour for birth are either your waters breaking 💧 or contractions⚡️...
These can be correct, but less than a quarter of labours actually start with the waters breaking, and this can happen at any stage!
Here are 3 lesser-known signs of labour:
⚡️Lightning Crotch - sharp and sudden pelvic pain caused by baby dropping lower and pressing on nerves.
🧻Diarrhoea - due to hormone changes relaxing all the muscles for birth, some women may experience diarrhoea for the body to empty and prepare.
🪨Dull Heavy Ache - feeling a pressure and dull heavy ache in your pelvis can be a sign that baby has dropped lower in preparation for birth.

All of these lesser-known signs do not necessarily mean labour is imminent and labour going to start within hours (though it could be within hours or days). It could also still be a couple of weeks before labour starts, however these are signs your body is actively preparing and getting ready. 🌸

I work with pregnant women and expectant couples to help them feel prepared, supported and informed for birth whether that's a home birth, caesarean, spontaneous labour and hospital birth.. all births are included.
