@Chloe amazing thank you for this!
@Annabelle hey no problem!! She was my birth doula too so if u have any questions lmk x I also have sone good book recommendations if you’re interested!!
@Chloe could I get some recommendations on books please xx
@Emily ofc! 1- your baby your birth (I got mine on vinted) if u get any book get this one - loads of techniques, discussions on all sorts of births 2- childbirth as a rite of passage (less of a Hypnobirthing book more of a spiritual discussion of childbirth and women’s power. It rocked my world) 3- why induction matters (not everyone will be induced but the whole book is a reminder and a discussion about women’s bodies as we start to labour) Also not a book but an app, Freya - surges timer with guided meditation from a hypnobirthing & finding your power perspective. The best £5 u will spend, I got my husband to download it so I wouldn’t be faffing on my phone and would stay in the birth bubble, and it kept him close and also in my birth bubble
My doula Hannah does hypnobirthjng group classes & private classes! And they include antenatal classes too. And she would help with breastfeeding as she does postnatal sessions. Her website is https://journeyaheadhypnobirthing.com With her teaching + guidance I was able to have my baby at home in the pool w no medical pain relief. It was a great experience
