Hi and Welcome to

So…. You are pregnant. Well, first of all congratulations.

I bet you have many questions and perhaps even a few concerns.

Coming to my site - and thank you for looking in - will certainly answer a few of those questions.

Besides of wanting to advertise myself I also would like you to come away better informed. I would like for you to have a better understanding about HypnoBirthing, and how it can help you with techniques and tools to have a more natural and easier birth.

There are a few very important things I want you to realise, one is that the majority of women are perfectly designed to have babies, creation made sure of that. Humanity didn’t survive for millions of years by chance. Secondly, have faith in yourself and trust your intuition and inner wisdom. Thirdly, make sure you only listen to positive people and stories, this includes your medical care givers.. 

Unfortunately, in today’s society we have lost the belief that pregnancy and birth can be easy, natural and fulfulling.  We could write a book about the why’s but let’s just look at a few reasons in point form.

• Less women in modern society are personally surrounded by expecting women and witness birth
• Busy women have less time and inclination to study and research birth for themselves. Lack of knowledge leads to fear.
• The media dramatizes pregnancy and birth and depicts powerlessness
• Many women hear “horror stories” from people in their community
• Medical management is problem-based and therefore implies a distrust of a natural pregnancy and birth. This may make women feel that if they do trust their own bodies, they must be in lala land, because their beliefs do not fit the contemporary standard.
• Many women birth in hospitals, where unfortunately the very activities that are intended to safe-guard birth can have a counter-productive effect in promoting fear and tension, reducing the flow of hormones, and triggering mistrust of one’s own birthing ability.
• Women who have experienced an empowered pregnancy and birth in, or out, of hospitals tend to be in a minority and their stories may be regarded with some doubt….or they are seen as the ‘lucky ones’ however, 95% of  women could have this experience.
• Basically, fear, tension and mistrust surrounding pregnancy and birth, and consequently the need for medical intervention, is our cultural norm.

As a rule, women are exposed to a set of expectations about childbirth that originate in information they have gathered throughout their lives. The media, shared experiences and stories, books, etc. all provide a perception of what childbirth will be like.  Nearly all depictions of modern childbirth are preoccupied with pain and problems and therefore much of the information provided to women, is about pain relief and problem solving options.  This implies that the experience will be painful and full of challenges and sets a women’s belief system up to be prepared for this.  In turn these expectations instigate fear and apprehension as many women approach childbirth.

It is every women's right to have control over her own pregnancy and give birth as gently and naturally as possible. It is time that women return to their own instincts and have their babies as nature intended them to do.
