Pregnancy & Birth
Pregnancy is an exciting time yet with the surge of pregnancy hormones we can easily find ourselves feeling emotional, vulnerable and facing a whole host of new and unexpected worries on the horizon.
Fears, phobias, anxieties and even traumatic experiences from our past can often create unwanted obstacles and prevent us from relaxing into pregnancy, looking forward to those key milestones and feeling calm, relaxed and confident about birthing our babies.
The Pure Therapy Programme, Essential Support Programme and HypnoBirthing® Classes provide specialist therapy, support and education to
- Clear fears, phobias and anxieties about scans, tests and antenatal procedures.
- Feel supported following successful IVF once you are under NHS antenatal care.
- Dissolve anxieties about morning sickness, your changing figure and foetal movement.
- Clear fears about labour how you will cope with labour pain and birthing your baby.
- Overcome fears of medical intervention such as episiotomy, ventouse and forceps.
- Dissolve your fears about hospital environments or caesarean delivery of your baby.
- Clear the emotional impact of a previous birth so that you can look forward to this one.
- Dissolve the overwhelming emotions of loss should the unthinkable happen.
The case studies below demonstrate a mixture of the issues and emotions which can contribute to pregnancy challenges. I hope that the successful experiences of others may inspire you to call and find out how I can help you too.
