Welcome to Together Birthing

Firstly, congratulations on your pregnancy and welcome to Together Birthing! Are you looking for hypnobirthing classes in Leighton Buzzard? Well, my name is Emma, and I teach 4-week live online hypnobirthing courses via Zoom, consisting of 4 x 2 hour weekly classes, for couples living in and around Leighton Buzzard.

I am a qualified hypnobirthing practitioner and a hypnobirthing mum too. My training was with the Hypnobirthing Institute in 2014 and later with the Hypnobirthing Training Academy in 2016.

Because I've experienced hypnobirthing myself, I love to help other expectant mothers and their birth partners, experience birth in a truly positive way.

I'm passionate about what I do and fully committed to ensuring my hypnobirthing couples are totally prepared for the birth of their child. As a hypnobirthing mum myself, and having had the privilege of teaching the programme to hundreds of couples since 2015, I know just what a huge difference the techniques and preparation make to the birthing experience.

    Birth choices in Leighton Buzzard

    Some women choose to have their babies at home because they like the comfort and familiarity of their home environment. You can also have a water birth at home if you hire an inflatable birthing pool. Alternatively, you may prefer to birth your baby in a birth centre. Luton & Dunstable offer a midwifery-led birth centre, located alongside the labour ward so that obstetric medical care is close at hand if intervention is required. The birth centre has a ‘home from home’ feel to it, with less medical equipment around and an emphasis on natural birth. Sometimes you may be required to have birth on the labour ward due to your circumstances. A birth pool is usually available on the labour ward and the birth centre at the Luton & Dunstable hospital. Speak to your midwife for more information or book a tour.

Reflexology can be used for any problems in your pregnancy, both mental and physical. Always go to a professional and consult with your GP or midwife before booking an appointment.

    Homeopathy

    Homeopathy uses highly diluted substances which cause the body to heal itself. Your GP and midwife should be the first people you speak to about any medical issues, but homeopathic practitioners can also assist you, particularly if you are restricted from taking some medications during pregnancy. Practitioners can give you labour kits which can be used instead of traditional methods of pain relief during labour. Always consult with your GP or midwife before booking an appointment.

    FAQs

    Simply peruse my ‘What is Hypnobirthing’ page to learn everything about hypnobirthing and why it can be of benefit to you.

    Hypnobirthing is an acquired skill, so the more you practice, the better it will be. Pain-free labour is possible with hypnobirthing. The Hypnobirthing Institute tells us that 65-70% of hypnobirthing mothers do not need any form of pain relief and 20-25% just need gas and air; whereas about 5-10% of them experience ‘special circumstances’ which often entails medical intervention. Browse through my blog to read some birth stories.

    Research shows that epidurals tend to prolong birth and increase the probability of external interventions such as forceps. Plus, with a natural delivery, mothers can move more freely during labour and can recover much faster. In addition to this, drug-free births mean that no drugs will be passed on to the baby.

    It’s best to start after your 20th pregnancy week but ideally before week 30.  Even if you’re later than 30 weeks, it’s still possible for you to start the course. Simply contact us and we’ll get you booked in, especially if you are up to 36 weeks.

    Yes, you do. Self-hypnosis is more effective if you practice it at home. My hypnobirthing course, which runs for 4 weeks, offers you adequate time to do so in-between classes. 

    Different individuals can benefit from hypnobirthing in a number of ways. First-time mothers who have no prior experience can overcome their fears and feel prepared for birth; whereas mothers on subsequent pregnancies might want to consider hypnobirthing for an easier and better experience. Even if mothers have had a C-section before, Hypnobirthing can still help them deliver vaginally.  

    Yes it will, because hypnosis is really just about allowing yourself to get into a relaxed state of mind. Self-hypnosis is a learned skill that you can easily improve during the 4-week course. There is nothing strange about hypnosis. You are still aware of your surroundings and can hold a conversation if you need to.

    It is, because it keeps you relaxed and calm, and does the same for your baby too. When you’re in a relaxed sate, your body releases endorphins, which are your body’s natural relaxant. Endorphins are also present in the umbilical cord and placenta, thus, your baby feels the same calming sensations you feel while it’s in your womb.

    Yes, at least a minimum of 2Mbps upload speed is necessary. Use the tool below to test your internet speed: http://www.speedtest.net

    Yes, even if it’s cheaper, it’s simply not as effective as an interactive course. My hypnobirthing classes in Leighton Buzzard make sure you learn all the important techniques that you need for a successful birthing experience.
