All About Hypnobirthing

Hypnobirthing is a new and natural approach to safe, relaxed and comfortable birthing. Our Bump Birth Baby Hypnobirthing course is suitable for all types of birth whether you are planning to have your baby in hospital, a birthing centre or at home.

You will be taught by Polly who is an experienced and certified Hypnobirthing teacher, who has personally used the techniques to peacefully and positivity birth her own daughter.

Polly incorporates her own personal experiences of how to have create a calm and relaxed birth no matter what happens on the day, and how to feel confident and in control, whilst teaching the theory of Hypnobirthing.

How does it actually work?

Hypnobirthing uses techniques which include breathing, deep relaxation, visualisations and positive affirmations. These techniques help to reduce your levels of stress, anxiety and fear, and so promote the release of the wonder hormones, “endorphins” and “oxytocin”, allowing your body to give birth efficiently and comfortably the way that it is designed to do.

Hypnobirthing gives you the tools you need to release any fear and tension that you may be holding on to that could impact on your having the type of birth that you desire.

Our Bump Birth Baby Hypnobirthing course teaches you deep relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques to prepare your mind and body for the birth, which will allow your body to take over and birth your baby as nature intended. The course focuses on techniques for mum and her birth companion to ensure the birth of baby is a joyous experience you share together whether it’s your first, second or subsequent birth.
