Childbirth is a fundamentally human and meaningful time. All women hope for a joyful, positive birth experience. However, the birth process is uncertain, so it is normal to experience anxiety, worries or fear of labour or childbirth itself. Hypnobirthing can help you develop tools to respond to uncertainties and equip you to adapt when it is not going according to plan without spiralling into anxiety.

At easibirthing® and parenting we believe that the best birth is the one that is right for THIS mum and THIS baby. Every woman deserves to be supported regardless of the mode of delivery.
Labour can be unpredictable, and an emergency caesarean can be the right decision for some women and babies so an important role of a hypnobirthing course should be to build a repertoire of techniques to deal with when it doesn't go according to plan.
But did you know that hypnobirthing is suitable for an elective or planned C-section birth too?
In light of the recent Ockenden report, a controversial and fiery debate has followed about what is the 'safe' mode for delivering your baby. Unfortunately this has forgotten the real point. It was not that the validity of either mode of delivery is in question, but instead that an under funded and resourced maternity service was at the root of what happened in Shrewsbury where professional decisions and choices were then flawed.
