Introduction to Hypnobirthing

Welcome to Together Birthing and congratulations on your pregnancy. If you are looking for hypnobirthing classes in Luton, I teach live and interactive online hypnobirthing courses comprising of 4 x 2 hour weekly live online classes, for couples in and around Luton.

My name is Emma, and I’m a hypnobirthing mum and practitioner. I trained with the Hypnobirthing Institute in 2014 and with the Hypnobirthing Training Academy in 2016. Since then, I have had the privilege of preparing hundreds of couples, for a positive birth experience.


Having experienced hypnobirthing myself with the birth of my second son, I love sharing the marvel of hypnobirthing with other parents-to-be so they too can have an empowering and positive birthing experience, even after a previous difficult experience.

The group classes are small and friendly and take place on Wednesday evenings from 7 to 9 pm via Zoom. The private courses can be fitted in to your schedule. There is plenty of scope for asking questions and discussing any concerns.

    Birth choices in Luton

    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.

    FAQs

    Please visit the  ‘What is Hypnobirthing’ page, on my website for more information. 

    A pain-free labour is possible with hypnobirthing. However, as a guide, 65-70% of hypnobirthing mums do not require any form of pain relief, according to the Hypnobirthing Institute, and only 20%-25% of hypnobirthing mothers need some gas or air. The remaining 5%-10% experience ’special circumstances’ and medical intervention is necessary to safeguard both mother and child. You can have a look at my blog, to read more on the experiences of mothers who have taken my course.

    Having a natural delivery allows you to recover faster. Furthermore, research states that the use of an epidural increases your birthing time and may lead to other medical interventions. The use of an epidural limits your movement, meaning you cannot adjust your position accordingly. Also, any drugs ingested can be passed on to your baby. The hypnobirthing techniques that I teach, offer you the best chance of having a natural birth. 

    I generally recommend that mothers start the course when they are between the 20th and 30th week of pregnancy. If you are later than 30 weeks please do still get in touch as I should be able to find a course for you if you are 36 weeks or less.

    The success of the techniques you learn is dependent on how much practice you do. The 4-week hypnobirthing course offers you enough time to do so between classes. 

    Any mother looking to have a less painful, more manageable birthing experience can take the course. First-time mums can get rid of their fears and anxiety about birth and mums with their second or subsequent pregnancies can opt for an easier birth experience than before. If you had a C-section before, hypnobirthing is the best way to help you deliver vaginally.

    Hypnosis involves you entering a state of relaxation. It is simple technique to learn and easy to do. You will still be aware of your surroundings and can hold a conversation if you need to. 

    Absolutely. With hypnobirthing, you enter a calm state and release endorphins that relax your body. These also have a similar effect on your baby whilst in the womb, and have been found in the umbilical cord and placenta.

    Yes. I recommend an upload speed of not less than 2Mbps, for a smoother viewing experience. If you are unsure of your internet speed, use this free tool to test: http://www.speedtest.net.

    You can find plenty of hypnobirthing downloads on the market, however, these are not as interactive as the course that I teach. You can ask questions, practise along with me and have an overall better learning experience. All these factors combine to enable a successful birthing experience.
