Pregnancy and Childbirth

The birth of a child is the single most important and life-changing moment of a woman’s life. Enjoying the experience of being pregnant and preparing for childbirth should be every woman’s right. Unfortunately, however, our culture has developed many negative and fear-based views of both pregnancy and childbirth.

Early Pregnancy

Hypnotherapy can be beneficial in the first trimester in a number of ways including:

  • eliminating morning sickness

  • establishing or increasing bonding with unborn baby

  • adjusting to upcoming changes in body and/or lifestyle

  • supporting you in stocking to nutritional or exercise plans

  • increased general wellbeing and self-image

  • reducing fear and anxiety

Preparing for Birth

 

In the third trimester, hypnotherapy will prepare you for the upcoming birth.  If you have been well prepared with several sessions you may benefit in labour in the following ways:

  • have reduced drugs and interventions

  • better able to deal with or have less intense contractions

  • greatly reduced fear and anxiety

  • shorter labours

  • less or no tearing or need for episiotomy

  • stay focussed on the outcome - her beautiful baby!

When Should I Start Hypnotherapy?

 

To assist you in deciding at what stage you would like to commence hypnotherapy, you can ask yourself these questions:

  • Am I enjoying my pregnancy, free of morning sickness and feeling bonded with my baby? 
     

  • Am I already eagerly anticipating my new life as a mum and looking forward to most of the changes that will occur in my body, in my life and in my relationship?
     

  • Am I completely and totally accepting of this pregnancy?

If you answered NO to any of those questions, then the Pregnancy Bliss package will most certainly help you adapt to the pregnancy and I strongly urge you to get support, not only for yourself but most importantly for your baby who is already absorbing all your feelings. 

 

If you answered YES to all of those questions and would like to get prepared for the birth, then you can wait until your third trimester and book in for the Labour of Love package.  

 

Alternatively, at any stage of your pregnancy if you have any issues that are arising, especially fears, don't hesitate in booking in for a session at any stage. 

 

Pregnancy Bliss

from the earliest days of discovering you are pregnant | 2 – 3 sessions

Hypnotherapy can be used to overcome fears some mothers have about holding onto the pregnancy, for alleviating morning sickness and many other concerns, worries and discomforts. Sessions in the first trimester of pregnancy will enhance the entire journey of pregnancy for the mother and help to establish a loving bond with the unborn child.
 

Labour of Love

preparing for labour in the last trimester | 4 – 6 sessions

As the excitement of the pending birth arrives, the third trimester brings a new range of thoughts, feelings and physical changes. This is the time to eradicate fear, create positive conditions for labour, increase comfort and prepare the mind, body and spirit for the best possible birth, as well as optimal post-natal recovery. At least one session will require your support person(s) to attend and it is recommended you also attend your hospital’s ante-natal classes.

 

Motherhood is such a special gift
and rite of passage into our true
nature as a woman. 

To have had the opportunity to be
present to the whole experience and
have the best outcome for you and
your baby is what every woman and
baby deserves, free of stress, fear
and limitation.

Highly Recommended Reading
for Parents to Be

Heart to Heart Parenting by Robin Grille
Robin Grille is an Australian father and psychotherapist.  I have read practically every book on parenting and can honestly say that this book is the best by far.

He covers developmental information from pregnancy through to 5 and is an absolute must read if it is important to you to have a real connection with your child and this connection starts in the womb.

I hope to stock his books in the clinic shortly, but in the meantime you can order his books from his website at www.our-emotional-health.com or through ABC Bookshops.
