My top tip this week 🧡

Instead of "I can't do this", try "my body knows what to do".

Small words, but hopefully, said often enough, they start to sink in.

Have you ever heard of the Fear Tension Pain Cycle?

Fear causes tension. Tension causes pain. Pain causes more fear. Round and round it goes in a cycle.

The good news! It can be interrupted.

What our mind believes, the body gets.

Even something as simple as a spider can send our whole body into a panic, without us even thinking about it. Birth can work the same way.

As a health visitor, I saw it so often. The mums who went in believing in themselves seemed to start parenthood on steadier, more confident ground.

That's part of why I do what I do now, helping mums find that same, steady belief in themselves 🧡

What one thing about birth would you like to let go of?

This has really made my week! Thank you so much to my lovely client for these kind words, it means the world to me 🥰

Every family is different and every course looks a little different too. But this feeling of feeling supported and ready is always what I hope for 🧡

Have you been thinking about your birth preferences?

Things like who you would like with you, how you would like your space to feel, how you would like to move and how you would like information to be shared. These things can all be worth thinking about.

Birth preferences aren’t a promise that everything will go exactly to plan. They’re simply a way of thinking about what matters to you, so you can feel informed and supported along the way 🧡

Save this for when you’re thinking about your birth preferences.

I'm so pleased to share that I'll be at The Baby Fayre Edinburgh on Sunday 30th August, at the Leonardo Hotel, Murrayfield.

Doors open to the public at 11am, and I'll have a stand there for the day. If you're expecting, or know someone who is, come along and say hello.

It's a lovely chance to have a proper chat, ask any questions about hypnobirthing, and find out a bit more about how I work with parents to feel calm and confident for birth.

There will be lots of other small, local businesses there too, so plenty to see for new and expectant parents and young families.
Hope to see some of you there.

📍 Leonardo Hotel, Murrayfield
🗓️ Sunday 30th August, from 11am

Have you ever noticed how sometimes your body reacts before your mind has even had time to catch up?

Like when you hear a loud noise, get an unexpected bill, or someone cuts you off in the car park!

In pregnancy, there can be so much to think about, to plan for and to process. The good news is, you can learn simple tools to help your body feel calmer and safer. That’s one of the things I love about hypnobirthing 🧡

If you would like to find out more about how hypnobirthing can help you in your pregnancy send me a message, I’d love to chat.

I’ve been thinking about confidence in pregnancy and birth today and what it means.

When we talk about feeling confident about birth, I don't think it means believing that everything will go exactly to plan. Birth has elements of unpredictability about it. Things can change and sometimes decisions need to be made along the way.
I feel confidence is more about feeling that you have some understanding of what is happening to you and around you, knowing that you have choices and are able to ask questions and also knowing that you have tools to help you through any challenging moments.

I think it’s really important to say that you don’t have to feel confident all the time. It is OK to feel excited and also nervous, to have questions and have moments where you think, "oh, can I really do this?"!! all really normal thoughts and feelings. But the lovely thing is that confidence can grow 🧡 Through learning about birth, practising relaxation techniques, understanding what your options are and spending time preparing your mind for birth too.

That’s one of the things I absolutely love about hypnobirthing. It’s not about promising you a particular birth, it’s about helping you feel more prepared, more informed and more confident in you and your body. I honestly, I wish I had known that when I had my own babies!

I’d love to know what does feeling confident about birth mean to you?

It's National Relaxation Day 🧡

A gentle reminder for you to take some time out, switch off, relax and just breathe for a while.

Relaxation really matters when you birth your baby. It's essential for a positive birth experience, as it reduces fear, which in turn reduces tension in your muscles, leading to less pain in birth.

The more you practise relaxation in pregnancy, the easier it will be, and your mind and body will know what to do when you give birth.

If you want to feel more relaxed and start practising, comment "Relaxation" and I'll send you the birth track from the video, my most loved relaxation audio 🧡
