Frequently Asked Questions

Is hypnobirthing suitable for all types of births?

   Answer: Yes, hypnobirthing can benefit any type of birth, whether it's at home, in a hospital, or in a birthing centre. It's also beneficial for all birth plans, including those involving interventions like an epidural, assisted delivery, or caesarean section.

 

When should I start hypnobirthing classes?

   Answer: Ideally, you should start hypnobirthing classes around 20-25 weeks of pregnancy. However, it's never too late to learn these techniques, and you can start anytime during your pregnancy to gain the benefits.

 

Are these classes only for first-time mums?

   Answer: No, hypnobirthing is beneficial for both first-time mums and those who have given birth before. Many parents find it helps them to feel more confident, relaxed, and prepared for subsequent births.

 

What do I need for the classes?

   Answer: For online classes, you'll need a reliable internet connection, a computer or tablet, and a comfortable, quiet space where you can fully engage. You will also receive relevant resources to guide you through your hypnobirthing journey.

 

How long do the classes last?

   Answer: As the course is currently only available in a pre-recorded format, the duration is as long as you need it to be. If you are completely new to you, it may take a little longer. However, if you have read the book or are using this as a refresher – you may flick through the course to get the relevant information for you, therefore much quicker!

 

Can my birth partner join the classes?

   Answer: Absolutely! In fact, I highly encourage birth partners to attend the classes. Hypnobirthing is most effective when both parents are involved, as it enables you to work together to create a calm and supportive birth experience.

 

What if I don't feel any different after taking the course?

   Answer: Hypnobirthing is a skill that takes time to learn and practice. If you feel uncertain, it may help to revisit the techniques regularly, and you'll likely notice a positive change in your mindset and confidence. I provide ongoing support to help you every step of the way.

 

Will hypnobirthing help with pain management?

   Answer: While hypnobirthing doesn’t promise to eliminate all pain, it teaches you powerful techniques to manage pain more effectively, often making it feel more manageable and less overwhelming. The aim is to reduce the intensity of discomfort and provide you with the tools to stay calm and in control.

 

 Are online hypnobirthing classes as effective as in-person sessions?

   Answer: Yes, online hypnobirthing courses can be just as effective as in-person sessions. With the use of video demonstrations, guided relaxation exercises, and follow up Q&A, you can learn and practice all the techniques from the comfort of your own home.

 

Do I need any prior experience or knowledge to attend the course?

   Answer: No prior experience or knowledge is required. The course is suitable for all pregnant individuals, whether you’re new to hypnobirthing or have already explored other childbirth preparation methods.

 

What if I have a medical condition or specific concerns about my pregnancy?

   Answer: Hypnobirthing is suitable for most pregnancies, but if you have specific medical concerns, I do encourage you to consult with your healthcare provider before starting the course. Please contact me directly if you have specific needs or questions.

 

How much do the classes cost?

   Answer: This can all be found on the ‘Sessions’ section of the website.

 

Do you provide ongoing support after the course ends?

   Answer: Yes, I offer post-course support, including a follow-up email with even more information and resources and access to a private online community where you can ask questions and share experiences with other expectant parents.

 

Can I get a refund if I’m not satisfied with the course?

   Answer: I strive to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your hypnobirthing experience. If you feel the course is not right for you, please reach out within a certain time frame to discuss any concerns.

 

What happens if my birth doesn’t go according to plan?

   Answer: Hypnobirthing helps you prepare mentally and emotionally for any outcome. It’s about being empowered with tools to cope with any situation, so you feel confident and in control, regardless of the birth plan or any unexpected circumstances.
