Hypnobubs™ ‘Positive Cesarean Birth’ classes will provide you with the tools, knowledge, support and a method of preparation to help you achieve a very calm and empowered birth!

It is to your advantage to be well-prepared and empowered to make good decisions regarding the birth process. Conditioning both your mind and body, so that both are in optimal form for birth, requires repetition and dedication.

Birth is the end result of a very complex process: you’ve done most of the hard work involved in creating a new life—months of growing limbs, organs, eyes, and even hair follicles. Actual birth is ‘the icing on the cake’. Birth is a miracle and can be transformational, and you are entitled to have a beautiful, calm birth experience as you meet your precious baby for the first time – it is your birthright!

When you are armed with knowledge, good support, tools and preparation – you can have a more positive and empowering birthing experience, whether your baby is born vaginally or via cesarean.

It is our dear wish that all parents have the opportunity to experience just how beautiful and transformational the birth of their baby can be; making it an experience they will never want to forget!

Let’s face it – a cesarean section is major abdominal surgery. It is very natural for you to feel fear or anxiety leading up to the birth with these circumstances. However, we will teach you relaxation tools that you can utilise to reduce your stress levels; and this can absolutely benefit both yourself and your baby (and even your birth partner and the caregivers present)!

You can choose the mindset that you want to have in the lead-up to and during your birth… and then maintain it. Hypnobubs™ ‘Positive Cesarean Birth Classes’ will teach you how. 

We’ll teach you the tools and techniques that you can use to reinforce a positive approach and mindset – such as affirmations, visualisation, self-hypnosis (hypnotherapy) and relaxation, helping you to feel more relaxed and calm throughout the birthing process. 

The breathing and relaxation techniques that you will learn can be of great benefit to you before birth, during birth, and after surgery to assist you with recovery. In fact, many mothers who have used the affirmations, breathing and self-hypnosis techniques have reported a need for less pain relief after birth than usual.

You will learn how to research your possible birth choices for a more ‘family-friendly’ cesarean birth and how to discuss/negotiate your birth preferences with your caregivers openly. You need to feel supported, heard and respected through your pregnancy and birth. Even though we are living in times where some caregivers now support maternal assisted c-sections (where the mother, using sterile gloves, actually reaches down and receives her own baby) – there still exist many caregivers who baulk at the thought of even ‘allowing’ immediate skin-to-skin at a cesarean birth. So, we’ll teach you how to do your own research and then discuss your preferences with your caregiver as early as possible in your pregnancy; to ensure you have the most suitable support team on board.

Your birth partner/companion also needs to understand and be supportive of your birth preferences. We will provide your birth partner with knowledge and tools to be able to encourage and support you through pregnancy and birth. The last thing you need during the birth is a birth partner who is anxious and transferring that stress onto you! They can play such a pivotal role in helping you to stay calm and relaxed during the birth… if they know how to.
