HypnoBirthing Practitioners are highly qualified birthing professions who are specifically trained to present this programme to the highest standard. HypnoBirthing is an educational and experiential programme that teaches the use of self-hypnosis. Unfortunately hypnosis is shrouded in myths and misconceptions due to popularised and sensationalist views presented in popular media. In fact, hypnosis is no mystery at all, and is a natural talent that everyone has that can be developed and applied for their own benefit. During hypnosis, participants don't lose control, don't lose consciousness, don't reveal their darkest secrets, don't come under the control of the practitioner, and don't open themselves up to evil influences. Participants are always fully in control of the process, can stop anytime they want, and decide for themselves how they apply this technique to their own benefit. More than anything, self-hypnosis teaches increased awareness and increase self-control. For more information about the common myths and misconceptions of hypnosis, contact us at michelle@pebabynet.co.za or wernervdw@live.com.

Sr Linette Louw- Registered Nurse and Midwife and myself are Thrilled to present this amazing talk. Why? We keep on getting told: I am doing it naturally...And this makes us worry...Ante natal care is super important. It does not merely mean: I had a scan! It also does not mean you wait till just before you have the baby and then find somebody...so much is happening during the pregnancy
The purpose of Ante natal care, the blood tests and scans are to get you to birth as healthy as possible...with early interventions preventing later complications. It might mean shared care: seeing a midwife while you wait for that available opportunity to see the Gynae or Midwife care in in which you see the Gynae twice or trice and the midwife the other 5 times. Yes the guidelines suggest 8 Ante natal visits.

​Simple, calming movements to support your body.

Every stage of pregnancy is filled with tiny miracles. Imagine your baby, month by month, already growing, moving, and hearing your gentle voice from the very first moments. Even before you hold them in your arms, they are already connecting deeply with you in ways you might not expect.

These special moments, like a flutter from within or a soft kick, show your baby is not only growing but also learning what love feels like, just from your touch and soothing words. The bond between you and your little one starts long before birth, bringing both comfort and excitement as you wait to meet them.

Hold onto these beautiful times. Every kick, every hiccup, and every soft sound is a reminder that your connection is already strong and lasting. For every expecting parent, these moments are the beginning of a lifelong bond."

Self-care in pregnancy isn’t indulgent—it’s foundational.

Every deep breath, every moment of rest, every time you choose calm over chaos… you’re nurturing both yourself and your baby.

HypnoBirthing reminds us that the nervous system matters.

When you slow down, soften, and care for your body and mind, you’re practicing the same skills that support a calmer, more confident birth.

Self-care can look like:
• Saying no without explaining
• Turning down the noise (yes, even loving advice)
• Practicing your breathing or relaxation daily
• Resting when your body asks—without guilt

You’re not “doing less.”
You’re preparing intentionally.

What does self-care look like for you this week?

When you hold your little one close as they drift to sleep, something truly special happens. It is more than comfort, it is how their heart and mind learn what safety feels like. Each gentle moment tells your baby the world can be warm and steady, even before they understand those words.

Scientists share that simple acts, like cuddling your baby while they sleep, quietly help shape their brain and the way they face new adventures. These early feelings of safety and calm turn into real courage and strong emotions, reaching far beyond the nursery. Your loving arms today are the unseen strength they will carry for years.

If you ever wonder if those sleepy, snuggly moments really matter, remember—every peaceful nap in your arms is a gift for your child's entire future. Love shapes their strength from the very start."

The first year of motherhood brings profound changes to sleep patterns. New mothers lose up to 40% of deep sleep, the stage most critical for physical recovery, emotional regulation, and memory consolidation. This level of sleep deprivation in soldiers would be classified as “war level stress.”
For mothers, however, this intense loss of restorative sleep is often considered a normal part of parenting. The frequent night awakenings, feeding schedules, and caregiving demands disrupt the natural sleep cycle repeatedly. Even brief interruptions prevent the brain and body from reaching deep restorative states.
The cumulative effect of lost deep sleep contributes to fatigue, reduced cognitive function, and heightened emotional sensitivity. Mothers may experience increased stress, reduced patience, and slower decision-making, all while managing the needs of a newborn.
Understanding the biological impact of disrupted sleep emphasizes the importance of support systems. Partners, family members, and caregivers can help share nighttime responsibilities, allowing mothers brief periods of uninterrupted rest to recover.
Recognizing that “normal” sleep patterns in new mothers are extreme stress on the body and brain can guide empathy, support, and practical strategies to protect maternal wellbeing during this demanding first year.
