Leeds Antenatal Hypnobirthing
About Hypnobirthing
Hypnobirthing is a philosophy and technique for giving birth based on sound, simple logic and the fundamental principle that childbirth is a normal, natural and healthy function for women. Hypnobirthing helps you remain positive and focused during pregnancy - releasing fears of childbirth and, whilst giving birth reducing and in some cases totally removing pains during labour. You nurture your unborn child and work intuitively with your body and your baby resulting in a relaxed and harmonious labour and birth.
About the teachers
Gill Firth and Jane Gavin have been practicing midwives for over 25 years and share a passion for helping women have the best experience they can at the birth of their baby. Having witnessed women using hypnobirthing techniques and the difference it made to their birth experience, both were inspired to train with Katharine Graves at the hypnobirthing centre (thehypnobirthingcentre.co.uk) and are accredited as hypnobirthing practitioners.
Gill and Jane have utilised their wealth of midwifery experience to offer hypnobirthing classes in and around Leeds that are both enjoyable and informative, providing women and their birthing partners with a comprehensive childbirth preparation programme.
About the sessions
During the hypnobirthing sessions you are taught:
-
what happens to your body during childbirth
-
the link between fear and pain and why, when your mind is free of fear and tension your body can be free of pain
-
how to release that fear and tension so that your mind is able to work in harmony with your body throughout the birth
-
self hypnosis to achieve a state of deep relaxation
-
visualisation exercises and positive affirmations to keep you focused
-
gentle touch massage to help stimulate your natural endorphins in labour
-
breathing techniques to keep you in control, and to help you deliver your baby without any exhaustive pushing
-
the important role of your birthing partner in helping you practice the hypnobirthing techniques in pregnancy and in supporting you through childbirth.
