Oh the Baby Blues. Nature’s present to new mothers.

I do not know a single mother who has not found herself at some point between days 3 & 10 post birth, sitting on her kitchen floor crying over spilt breast milk.

The doorway to success in hypnobirthing is the unconscious mind. Your unconscious mind not only holds information that is outside your consciousness, but it also manages sensations and bodily functions.

We can access the unconscious mind through hypnosis and this is the bedrock of hypnobirthing.

This blog was prompted by the wonderful post on Instagram by @birthtraumasupportfamily who pointed out an article in The Telegraph titled 'Mumsnet is driving women to request caesarean sections, a leading midwife has warned'.

I often say to my clients that what it takes to get baby ‘in’ is exactly what it takes to get baby ‘out’. The positive hormones and responses required to feeling safe, loved, calm and confident. When we feel out of control and scared the body processes this in a different way to the calm and happy response.

I suppose the question here may be, ‘What is a third space?’.

Fertility is something that like many women I always took for granted.

It isn't about how you birth...whether you do so vaginally or via c-section or whether you decide to use an epidural or gas and air.

That’s all we want, isn’t it? A chance to truly appreciate and own the intense experience that is giving birth. So why does it go so wrong for so many?
