When is the best time to start hypnobirthing course for c-section?
Are you planning an elective caesarean and hoping to use hypnobirthing to help your birth be as calm, positive and relaxed as possible?
Read on to find out when the best time to start your hypnobirthing course for a c-section birth is.
This is a question I get asked a lot!
When is the best time to start my hypnobirthing classes if I am planning an elective caesarean? You can start hypnobirthing at any point of your pregnancy ideally anytime from 20 weeks onwards when the risk from early pregnancy reduces significantly.
My c-section hypnobirthing course is a fully online hypnobirthing course giving you the freedom and flexibility to go through the course content when it suits you. As the majority of caesarean births occur between 37-39 weeks for this reason I recommend my clients join me around 25-30 weeks of pregnancy. Taking a hypnobirthing course at this time will give you sufficient time to learn the information and implement everything you have learnt and then still have plenty of time to practice all of the tools and techniques to support you before, during and after your birth.
The more time you have to practice and the more often you practice the hypnobirthing and relaxation techniques the more natural they will feel to use and the easier it will be to use them as and when needed in what is likely to be a busy environment filled with distractions.
Some of the things I cover in my Calm, Positive Caesarean Birth & Recovery course includes:
- What hypnobirthing is/is not
- How we use hypnobirthing for c-section births
- How to ditch the fear around your c-section
- Creating a positive birth mindset
- What happens at each stage of your birth
- Your choices when it comes to caesarean birth
- The power of affirmations
- Visualisation for a calm mind and body
- Massage to boost feel good hormones before your c-section
- Your c-section birth plan and preferences
- How to have a healing 4th trimester
- Scar care
- Baby massage for c-section babies
Hypnobirthing is a total game changer for your birth. My online course is a full caesarean birth prep course to help you feel informed and empowered as you prepare to meet your baby. Each of my online courses includes support via the messages on the course platform meaning you have your own birth coach in your back pocket!
