Antenatal Group Hypnobirthing classes

Activity Description

If you’re looking for an antenatal course with a focus on your well-being and tools to equip you for the birth of your baby, you’re in the right place! Whether this is your first pregnancy or fifth, this course will be informative, fill you with confidence and leave you feeling well-prepared and positive as you journey through pregnancy and birth.

Here’s a little insight into some of what we will cover on this course:- Mind, body connection and how to best utilise this for an empowering birth experience.
– Breathing and relaxation techniques to support you in your birth, including practise during class and tips on the best way to do this at home.
– How to create a calm and relaxed birth environment, whether that’s at home, a birth centre or the hospital.
– Physiology of birth and how the body works in labour, including hormones that help facilitate birth.
– The different stages of labour, what to expect and what you can do to work with your body.
– Comfort measures including medical pain relief (epidural, gas and air etc.), water birth, tens machine, movement, birth positions, aromatherapy, relaxation scripts, music and lighting etc.
– How to use your hypnobirthing tools in all settings, including in the event of an emergency belly birth.

– How to navigate the maternity system and feel confident in making informed choices.
– Birth places, what is on offer at each setting and the protocols.
– How to best manage changes should your expected path deviate during pregnancy and/or labour.
– The role of your birth partner during this time. They will learn how to best support you, provide a continuity of care and feel confident in their role.
– The ‘Golden Hour’ after the birth of your baby.

This 10 hour hypnobirthing course will take place over 4 evenings, each week with a different focus point to help you feel as prepared as possible for pregnancy, birth and the arrival of your baby.
Everyone is welcome to bring a partner along (which I highly recommend).

With Kelly Woodyatt: Thursday evenings, 7:15pm – 9:45pm

Hypnobirthing is recommended during the second trimester of your pregnancy so that you can enjoy the benefits during your pregnancy as well as at the birth of your baby. It will also give you time to digest the information and prepare you with the tools you need to make informed choices throughout your pregnancy and birth. However, it’s never too late to benefit from this course and put into use what you’ve learned, even if you’re approaching the end of your pregnancy.

You’ll receive a gift bag that will include your KG Hypnobirthing book, relaxation audios, a folder with handouts covered in the course and a few little wonderful extras to make your pregnancy and birth journey just that little bit better.
