HypnoBirthing® prides itself on a powerful concept – FTP = Fear. Tension. Pain. When we are in fear, our body will tense up, when our body is tense we are more susceptible to feeling pain. We know this of our muscle’s physical response to fear, why would it be different for birthing? Why does birthing need to be painful? The other muscles in our body when they are doing their normal, intended purpose are not painful – does your heart hurt while pumping blood around your body? Does your stomach hurt while digesting food? No. So why do we expect that our uterine muscles need to hurt to birth our baby? The answer comes back to fear – we have been programmed to associate birth with pain. We are told that it hurts – so we believe it. We approach it with fear, this leads to tension so, of course, pain will also occur. What if we could remove that fear – we would then remove the tension and, subsequently, not experience pain.
This program will give you a comprehensive toolkit of strategies to eliminate fear; to trust in your baby and your body to instinctually, safely and comfortably birth your baby.
Affirmations and visualisations are a vital part of the program. What you tell your body to do, it will do. If you tell your body it is strong, powerful, calm, confident, safe, capable – it will be!
Breathing and relaxation practice will allow you to birth comfortably and trust in your body. You are safe, supported and relaxed.
You will be educated and supported through the Fourth Trimester – breastfeeding, sleep and what to expect is a perfect way to finish the program.
The inclusion of a Birth Companion throughout the program is proven to enhance our positive outcomes and lead to post-natal success. Dads/partners love being a part of knowing how to support the birthing mother and really enjoy the sense of calm that is so evident by the end of the classes.
If you are looking for a positive, transformational and empowering birth experience, please get in touch with me. I would love to share this special journey with you – I am here to support you.
Yours in pregnancy, birth and post-natal support,
Courtney Nutter
