Antenatal Hypnobirthing Classes in Maidenhead, Windsor, Marlow and surrounding Berkshire / Buckinghamshire areas

​

Do you want to feel calm and confident and ready to give birth to your baby?  Hypnobirthing courses from Over the Moon Birthing give you all of the knowledge you need to prepare for labour and birth, self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques to conquer your fears and remain positive and calm, as well as a great opportunity to meet others.  These are complete antenatal courses with a twist!

​

As a midwife, I have seen the difference that hypnobirthing makes to the couples I have cared for in labour.  They appear in control, unafraid and ready to embrace the birth of their baby.  I also used hypnobirthing for the birth of my son and can personally attest to its power.

​

Many women and their partners are anxious about the process of childbirth.  This is no wonder as we rarely hear a positive birth story.   You may also have had a difficult previous birth experience to contend with.  Ask somebody who has undertaken a hypnobirthing course, however, and you will be pleasantly surprised by their birth experiences.

​

This hypnobirthing course is a complete birth education that gives you the knowledge and tools to have the most natural and empowering birth for you. 

​

You will learn self-hypnosis, relaxation and breathing techniques to help you remain calm and confident in your body’s ability to give birth.  You will also learn about the physiology of labour, and how your body is designed to give birth and the type of environment that facilitates this.  The course also gives you information and knowledge to understand the medical system, helping you make truly informed decisions about your care.

​

Some people have the preconception that hypnobirthing is only for those planning a drug-free waterbirth or home birth.  This is not the case.  Hypnobirthing techniques can be used for any type of labour and birth.  You might be right now planning to have an epidural in labour, or you may have an induction or elective caesarean planned.  Hypnobirthing can equip you to understand your body and the birth process, discuss your options with health professionals more confidently and above all else remain in control. 

​

Hypnobirthing can be most beneficial when birth does not go to plan.  Perhaps you may not be able to give birth where you intended or the baby might have to be born differently to how you would have liked.  The skills you will learn can help you to stay in control, understand and consent to what is right for you and your baby and help you to remain more relaxed and positive.
