Pregnancy

Pregnancy is an exciting awe inspiring experience, the awakening of new life. From conception through to birth, you are nurturing that new life, supporting the development of a new human being inside your body.

Your body is amazing and you will discover skills and abilities within you that you may not have known you had. The journey will be interesting, and the prize at the end is one of great joy.

The decision to have a baby is one of the most important you will make in your life. It may enrich your life in more ways than you could have imagined and can be a rewarding and life changing experience.

A woman's experience of pregnancy and birth should reflect this and her movement through the stages of conception, pregnancy and birth into motherhood is a time of great change. Some women feel that the process is self-affirming and that it is time of new discovery.

Every woman is different, will experience pregnancy and birth in her own way, may have certain expectations and preparations for birth. It is important to recognise that pregnancy and birth are very personal to each individual woman and that birth experiences can vary enormously. Some women may feel comfortable within a medical environment, some may want a homebirth, some may want a water birth. All of these options are right for the woman who chooses them.

Hypnotherapy can empower women to make choices that are right for them and to feel good about those choices at any stage in the pregnancy right through to the birth and post natally. Hypnotherapy can offer women a safe, tried and tested, non invasive solution to a wide range of pregnancy related concerns such as anxiety, stress, weight management as well as post natal support in post pregnancy weight loss anxiety, breastfeeding support, energy boosters and help around postnatal depression.
