Approaching Childbirth

I didn't know a huge amount about birth when I was pregnant and everything I did know came from tv.

On every film and tv programme with a birth scene the women usually appeared to be screaming in pain with lots of people helpfully shouting PUSH, as if her body didn't already know how to do it!

Hypnobirthing changed my mindset and left my Partner and I feeling excited about birth. It was no longer an inevitable ordeal to overcome, my Partner and I both understood what we had to do to have a positive birth with minimal pain and importantly we both knew about our choices and we were able to make informed decisions.

Birth doesn't have to be something to fear and it can be an incredibly positive experience even if it doesn't go exactly as planned!
