Confident
Childbirth ...............................................................................................................................................................
Why have a confident childbirth
course?
| The birth of a child is often
one of the happiest moments in
a mother's life, but for expectant
mums they may have fears, concerns,
heard ‘stories' from others, or
have had difficult pregnancies
or births themselves. |
|
Whether you are first time parents
or expecting another child, the confident
childbirth method can make it a more
relaxed and comfortable experience
for all those involved.
Imagine experiencing
some of these fantastic benefits:
Reduce labour time
Reduce the need for medical
interventions
A higher APGAR score
for your baby
Allow the father to have
greater involvement
Help with lactation
Help with breech babies
Reduce others associated
issues like morning sickness, phobias
and insomnia
Using the confident childbirth approach,
you can take greater control of your
pregnancy and delivery, so you and
your baby can feel more relaxed leaving
you more time to create that special
bond that's so vital in the first few
hours after your baby is born. ...............................................................................................................................................................
What is confident childbirth?
It's a series of sessions that empower
you (and your partner) to take more
control of your pregnancy and delivery.
It aims to make this wonderful time
more memorable and enjoyable without
the need for medical interventions. ...............................................................................................................................................................
How does it work?
As a member of the Confident Childbirth
network, my aim is to teach you (and
your partner) a range of self hypnosis,
guided visualisation, and sensation
control techniques. You may be surprised
at how easy it is to prepare yourself
and look forward to the birth of your
child, and motherhood beyond, in a
calm and relaxed way. In many cases,
mothers can eliminate or manage sensations
completely (depending on the amount
of practice they put into it, but I
can't guarantee this). ...............................................................................................................................................................
What if I had a confident
childbirth course?
Imagine the confidence you can have
knowing that you're fully prepared
to have your baby under your own terms,
What if you could wake up tomorrow
knowing that you've adopted an approach
which will help both you and your baby
in the most positive way. How would
you feel knowing that you can have
more energy to devote to bonding with
your new baby. What if you knew that
many of these techniques can be used
in everyday life such as general pain
relief, dentistry or de-stressing.
Having been there for the birth of
my children, I also realise the key
role that the father can have in helping
to ensure the delivery is as smooth
and relaxed as possible. It's for this
reason, that I'd encourage all mothers-to-be
that I work with to bring their partners
to our sessions, so that I can share
my experiences and give them a different
perspective (how many times have you
heard a new Dad say “I felt like a
spare part, and didn't know what to
do apart from hold her hand!”). ...............................................................................................................................................................
Your investment ...
My confident childbirth courses consist
of four 1 hour sessions at weekly intervals.
One-on-one sessions can work best as
we can work on your individuals needs
100%. These can be held in the comfort
of your own home if preferred. The cost
of the course is £280. Parents-to-be
can start the course at any time during
pregnancy. Many do start early so they
can take advantage of the self relaxation
it can bring to your whole pregnancy
as well as give you plenty of time to
practice those techniques in advance.
I suggest leaving it no later than the
beginning of the third trimester to ensure
we have sufficient time.................................................................................................................................................... [ TOP ] |
