Q: What is hypnobirthing?
A: Hypnobirthing allows you to take an approach to labour and birth where you no longer feel scared or anxious of whats to come. Hypnobirthing is about allowing you to feel in control of your labour and decisions around your pregnancy and birth.

Q: When is the best time to book?
A: For the group or 1-2-1 hypnobirthing course, it is advised for you to book any time after 20 weeks of pregnancy with a view to completing a course between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. However, if you are already past this, please get in touch so we can discuss what might work for you.

Q: What will I take away from the course?
A: It is an evidence-based, non-judgemental and unbiased approach to birthing. You will come away feeling empowered and able to look forward to your birth, reducing any anxieties around this. It will also enable you to make informed decisions around your pregnancy and birth. Our aim is for expectant parents to feel calm, confident and reassured about their labour and birth.

Q: What's included in the group or 1:1 hypnobirthing course?
A: You will receive up to 8 hours worth of content including: how Hypnobirthing actually works, working with your body, education on the stages of labour, managing pain, breathing and relaxation techniques, informed decision making/BRAIN tool, optimal positioning in labour, the role of the birth partner and how to navigate the maternity system.

Q: What else is included with the hypnobirthing course?
A: In terms of physical things to take away - all clients who complete a face to face course are given a goody bag including a Wonder Birthing Co. Workbook, which includes a birth plan template, a copy of the KGH book, positive birth affirmation cards, plus some exciting labour and birth essentials! You will also be sent all of the relaxation audios and scripts to support your hypnobirthing practice. Following the course you will also receive ongoing support up until you give birth.

Q: How do I pay for the course?
A: You will be asked to pay a 50% deposit via bank transfer upon booking. The remaining 50% will be required to be paid one week before the start of your course. Alternatively, group course dates are available to book via Ticket Tailor using the "Book Now" button.

Q: I am having a c-section, can I still do hypnobirthing?
A: Absolutely! Hypnobirthing isn't just about vaginal births. It is there to help you take a positive approach to birthing, using relaxation techniques and enabling you to feel empowered around your birth and birth decisions. We can support you with a "Calm Caesarean Workshop".

Q: Does my birthing partner need to attend the course?
A: It is advised for a birthing partner to attend a course if you have one. However, it is not essential. But it would be encouraged for you to go over your newly taught hypnobirthing skills at home with your birth partner.

Q: Does hypnobirthing mean I won't need any more pain relief?
A: Hypnobirthing is not an alternative to pain relief or considered a type of pain relief. However, people have reported not needing pain relief at all or just using it towards the end stages of labour. "Pain" is experienced very differently amongst others but hypnobirthing can help with this.
