Hypnobirthing Antenatal Course

Activity Description

In person evening antenatal hypnobirthing courses for couples, suitable to attend anytime in pregnancy, but probably of most value after 26 weeks. It is a good idea to aim to finish your course by at least week 36, as this gives you time to keep practising the skills in the weeks prior to the birth, and also ensures you finish the course before your due window (weeks 37-42) starts.
Put simply, hypnobirthing is a method of deep relaxation that is initiated by the pregnant woman. The course really explores the mind-body connection and how important that is to enable the birth process to work smoothly, as it is designed to do. Many people think of labour as a physical activity (because it is!), and so don’t always consider the mental element, which is vitally important and can have a huge impact on how the birth goes. A hypnobirthing course spends time focusing on this aspect of birth, leaving you feeling more prepared, better informed and with a greater understanding of what you can do to influence your birth, if you are willing to put the work in and practice the techniques regularly ahead of time.
