Description

Welcome to the Hypno-WHAT podcast! I'm Claire, a doula & hypnobirthing teacher from Edinburgh. I'm here to debunk a lot of the nonsense that surrounds Hypnobirthing for you because, let's be honest, it sounds like crap.

But what if I told you it was actually like Sports Psychology for birth... would you think it was a bit less weird? Hypnobirthing simply acknowledges the impact that your brain has on the unfolding of birth.

It's less vagina-whispering and more learning how your body works; helping you to really believe in yourself and the amazing capabilities of your pregnant body.

The aim of my work is to help you to feel informed & in control; prepared for whatever route your birth may take; confident in your decision-making; setting you up for a really positive post-natal period with your new plus-one.

This week we are talking about breathing and why it’s one of the most well-known hypnobirthing tools. Our breathing can help us to take control of how our body is reacting to a situation and how you breathe really does impact on the chemistry of your body.We briefly look at different techniques to use in labour & birth and alongside this episode there is a bonus episode with a guided breathwork to help you practice.The Hypno-WHAT Podcast now has it's own instagram page!

This episode will be discussing how to prepare for chest or breastfeeding your baby and we are going to be mostly discussing what normal newborn behaviour looks like for babies who are not bottle fed. This is something I think is super important to understand before baby arrives, because with the UK’s breastfeeding rates being amongst the lowest in the world, very few of us actually know what that looks like or what to expect - and that also goes for our support network. Human milk is designed to be very easily digested - this makes it easy on our tiny baby’s tummies, but it also means that they need feeding frequently. We’re designed this way for a reason though, it’s not a flaw. Hopefully today I can help to build your confidence in your body & your baby working together to establish feeding … FREE Birth Planning Workshop - I’m running a this online workshop on Monday 6th Feb and again on Monday 6th March. Let me help you feel so that you can feel confident in your decision making as you prepare for birth.

Warning - this episode contains a bit of swearing, so if that's not your vibe maybe give this episode a miss. The very first guests on The Hypno-WHAT Podcast are my brilliant pals Jade & Alix who run The Birth Uprising, who I trained with back in 2021. The TBU approach is 'no fluff, no bull'; Jade & Alix tell it like it is, there's no pretension with this pair at all, and they are fiercely passionate about making hypnobirthing accessible to all. TBU content is always inclusive, striving to include support for everyone and every kind of birth - which is exactly why I wanted to train with these wonderful women! In this episode we each discuss a myth about hypnobirthing and why it drives us up the wall, and then we'll completely dispel it for you. We touch on: Why Hypnobirthing is soooo much more than just breathing Hypnobirthing is NOT just for natural births, nor can it guarantee one How Hypnobirthing can help you navigate an elective or unplanned caesarean. Next weekend, 28th & 29th January, The Birth Uprising are hosting a virtual birth festival, with 25 TBU instructors taking part to lead different workshops! I'll be there discussing the importance of Anchoring at 1pm on Sunday afternoon; other topics covered include positioning for birth, perinatal mental health, positive induction choices (with Katie the TBU midwife which is sure to be exceptional!) along with a couple of yoga & relaxation classes to round off the days.

1. Estimated Due Dates

1. Estimated Due Dates

2023-01-1319:41

The Estimated Due Date... that magical day your hit 40 weeks and fully expect your baby to arrive then or shortly after. As does everyone you shared the date with. The texts flood in - Have you had the baby yet? How long are they going to let you go? Get a sweep. Eat 14 pineapples. None of it is ill intended but it can sow the seeds of doubt and have you questioning your body - why hasn't it gone in to labour by now? Well today I'm going to talk you through the due date and why you should pay it as little attention as possible. We're going to talk about focussing on The Due Period rather than a single day, on which less than 5% of babies are born.

Never tried a guided relaxation before? The short tracks on this podcast are a great place to start. This track is just over 6 minutes long and designed to be used wherever & whenever you need a quick reset and to check in with yourself & baby.The intention of this practice is for you to connect with your body & baby, recognising where you are at the present moment, acknowledging that & accepting it. I encourage you to notice not only the negatives, as our brains are so inclined to do, but also the positives.The Hypno-WHAT Podcast now has it's own instagram page!

Today's episode is going to be focusing on contractions - what are they? And how does our uterus actually work?Most people in the beginning know very little about what contractions are. They just think 'Right I’m going to have contractions, whatever they are, and they will get bigger and harder until my baby is born' ...and that’s just not true for everyone. Not all contractions are made equal; we have different kinds of contractions which do completely different jobs, at different stages in our labour.I really hope this episode helps to breakdown a little of the physiology of birth for you, and goes a little way to building your confidence in your amazing body and it's incredible capabilities.The Hypno-WHAT Podcast now has it's own instagram page!

It’s all very well to be told about the importance of building a positive mindset for birth, but how do you actually get to a place where that feels realistic? For some people, they hit pregnancy feeling pretty neutral about birth, others even feel good and excited about the experience of giving birth, however, there are a great many people who don’t fall in to either of those camps. If that is you, you are not alone. In fact, I’d say you’re maybe in the majority group! If you are currently in a place where the idea of birth being a positive experience feels pretty far fetched and your wracked with fear & anxiety then this episode is for you. I’m not here to tell you not to be scared, I think it’s really important to recognise our feelings, not just try to cover them up. Let me take you through some of the first steps I use with my clients to try and help them to dial down a bit of that belief that birth is an inherently negative experience.

Today’s episode I’m introducing you to one of my favourite aspects of birth preparation - and what I also think is the most important thing to make sure you do - and that’s get yourself some birth plans sorted out! Yes plural!!!There is definitely an element of being able to ‘go with the flow’ when it comes to your experience of birth, but the process of writing and researching your birth plans is not something you want to overlook. It’s a really powerful way to become familiar with birth, how it works and what your options are.Resources & ReferencesThe Birthing Parents Club Birth Plan Template - https://birthingparentsclub.com/birthplanCheck out my friend Anna’s incredible induction series on instagram: - www.instagram.com/hackneyhypnobirthingFor positive induction birth stories, you can read all about my clients Ildi and Emma, who chose to have their labours induced at 39 and 40 weeks, respectively - https://birthingparentsclub.com/blog/category/Induction+of+LabourEvaluation of the effects of a birth plan on Taiwanese women's childbirth experiences, control and expectations fulfilment: a randomised controlled trial - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20036361/The Hypno-WHAT Podcast now has it's own instagram page!

In today’s episode I take you through a bit of the process of choosing where to birth your baby and explore your options for midwife led units, labour ward, theatre & home birth. There's quite a bit to get through, and it's a bit juicy! Hence why I'm chatting for a bit longer than usual this week.We also touch on your right to choose where you give birth, and this right is protected by law. The organisations mentioned are AIMS UK and Birth Rights who provide an incredible free resource to families who need support with their care during pregenancy, birth & post natally.The studies mentioned in todays episode with regards to risks & outcomes in each setting come from The Birth Place Study, 2010 and the home birth review published in The Lancet. Both are linked below. You can also check out my website for a table of outcomes which should make it easy for you to compare the rates of different interventions across different intended birth places.The Birthplace Study - https://www.npeu.ox.ac.uk/birthplace#the-birthplace-cohort-studyThe Lancet Review: Maternal outcomes and birth interventions among women who begin labour intending to give birth at home compared to women of low obstetrical risk who intend to give birth in hospital - https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(20)30063-8/fulltextBirthing Parents Club - Choosing Where To Birth Your Baby - www.birthingparentsclub.com/birthplaceThe Hypno-WHAT Podcast now has it's own instagram page!
