From a client who's birth went the complete opposite to her plan -
"With only the hypno birthing skills in my arsenal I genuinely believe they were solely accountable for me feeling as though my labour, delivery and recovery were positive ones."
Sometimes birth gets complicated or takes an unexpected path. You prepared. You did all of the things that help your body to labour effectively. But if your body and baby have other ideas and need some help on the day, will the techniques you practiced still get you through it? Is hypnobirthing worth bothering with if it can't guarantee a straightforward birth?
You'll need to adjust to the unexpected detour, whether that's an unplanned transfer to hospital, an epidural, intervention or a caesarean birth you hadn't expected. This is important to me, to fully prepare my clients for plan b. To have an open mind. To feel far from hypnobirthing 'hasn't worked', but rather, 'hypnobirthing gave me the support to navigate an unexpected path'.
I aim to give you the skills to adjust to whatever your body brings you on the day. Each labour is different. It's important that people are fully prepared with the science and knowledge of how to give their body what it needs to labour effectively, but to also have the ability to make informed decisions, and cope well should plan b be needed.
