Hypnobirthing for control freaks
One of the things I really enjoy about working with pregnant women, is their resilience. Everyone has their own reasons for wanting to do hypnobirthing, and it often doesn't become completely apparent (even to them), until we're a couple of sessions in. This week, though, I had the pleasure of hearing a woman unapologetically identify exactly why hypnobirthing is for her, and then crow it to her friends & colleagues!

Dads - an essential element
One day I'll learn how to sync The Good Birth Practice Facebook page with the website, so that when I post there it'll appear here on my blog too. But in the meantime, you'll just have to put up with sporadic linked postings! BUT! That's not what I'm here to say. I'm here to celebrate Dads. I'm currently teaching two Sevenoaks couples #thewisehippo, and both Dads are super clued up, enthusiastic, supportive and open-minded. I know they'll both make fantastic, confident & calm

What It's Really Like to Have a Hypnobirth - courtesy of US Cosmopolitan Magazine
Well, according to the US edition of Cosmopolitan, it's more like meditation than hypnosis. Although this American article reflects their more hospital-based-consultant-led approach to birth, it's interesting to read the experiences of 3 real women. I particularly like where they talk about pain - and how hypnobirthing helps women be realistic about what to expect and how to interpret the signals our body sends us as we labour. You can read the full article, by Heather Wood R
