Hypnobirthing

This hypnobirthing program is a specialised antenatal childbirth education course especially designed for Kiwi (NZ) parents-to-be. You’ll learn deep relaxation, visualisations, affirmations, mindfulness and special breathing techniques to achieve a confident, calm, positive birthing experience for both you and your baby.

The Positive Births Hypnobirthing program is a practical course that focuses on preparing parents for a more positive birth regardless of the set of circumstances they face on their journey.

Therefore, whether it be a totally natural birth or a birth with intervention, the skills will be useful and relevant.

How we give birth does matter. Not just for the day itself, but for the journey ahead. Having a positive and empowering start to your journey can have a lifelong impact on both mother and baby.

HYPNOBIRTHING FAQ

  • You  can  begin  the course at  any  time,  but  we  recommend  the  earlier the better (after 15  weeks).  Commencing  the  classes  earlier  in  your  pregnancy  will  give  you  time  to  practice  the  relaxation  and  to  enjoy  a  more  relaxed  pregnancy. 

    However,  it  is  never  too  late  to  start  –  you  will  still  find  the   classes  beneficial  and  valuable  as  long  as  you  complete  them  prior  to  going  into  labour.

  • The  reason  we  suggest  couples  to  attend  together  is  so  your  birth  support person  can  understand  the  tools  and  techniques  you  are  learning.  Your  birth  support will  play  a  vital  role  in  your  labour  and  birth  and  we  also  teach  them  techniques  and  how  assist  you  during  this  time.  

  • Most  definitely.  The  tools  and  techniques  you  will  learn  in  your  hypnobirthing  course  will  be  of  use  to  you  and  your  baby  regardless  of  your  birth  experience.  If  medical  intervention  is  required  you  will  find  yourself  better  able  to  remain  calm  and  in  control.  Mums  who  have  needed  caesareans  for  medical  reasons  report  that  they  were  totally  relaxed  before,  during  and  after  the  procedure  and  often feel  their  recovery  was  very  quick.

    This course is for EVERY birth situation!

  • It’s  up  to  you.  The  Positive Births hypnobirthing  course  will  provide  you  information  about normal, natural  birth  and  give  you  tools  and  techniques  to  use  in  any/every type of birth.  Other  antenatal  courses  will  cover  different  information  such  as  interventions,  complications  and  how  to  care  for  your  baby.  The  knowledge  gained  through  the  hypnobirthing  course  along  with  other  antenatal  courses  will  help  you  to  make  informed  decisions.  Many  couples  also  attend  other  antenatal  courses  to  develop  a  network  of  other  parents  due  at  the  same  time. That’s not to say you wont get a network from your hypnobirthing course too!
