Introduction
Welcome to Together Birthing and congratulations on your pregnancy! My name is Emma and I’m a hypnobirthing mum and qualified practitioner and I’m thrilled to be able to offer you and your birth partner, live online hypnobirthing courses in Middlesex so that you too can realise your full potential on your birthing day.
I felt so inspired by my own hypnobirthing experience with the birth of my second
son, that I wanted to help other people achieve the same!
It was then, in 2014, that I decided to become a practitioner with the Hypnobirthing Institute and then further my training with the Hypnobirthing Training Academy in 2016. I wanted every women to have the support and help of hypnobirthing.
Hypnobirthing is a truly rewarding and enlightening experience. I feel privileged over the past few years to have helped so many mums-to-be and their birth companions have the best possible birth experience.

Birth choices in Middlesex
Hypnobirthing often gives women and their birth companions the confidence to have a homebirth rather than go to a hospital. Some people choose to go to a hospital or are required to for medical reasons.
For couples who choose a hospital birth, Watford General Hospital is only about 10 minutes drive away. There is a midwifery-led birth centre attached to the hospital with more of an emphasis on natural childbirth and provides birthing pools for water births. You can contact the hospital and birth centre for more information on facilities and to book a tour:-

Pregnancy Massage in Middlesex
The nine months of pregnancy is a very special time for mums-to-be. It is a time of great physiological and emotional change. Unfortunately some changes mean the discomfort of backache, aching hips, sciatica, cramp, insomnia and swelling to name but a few. This is where massage can be of great comfort and alleviate some of the more uncomfortable effects of pregnancy.

FAQs
To learn what hypnobirthing is and how it benefits you, check out my ‘What is Hypnobirthing’ page.
Hypnobirthing is an acquired skill so its success relies on how much you practise during the course. Pain-free labour is possible with hypnobirthing, and according to the Hypnobirthing Institute, hypnobirthing mums don’t generally need pain relief (65-70%). However, 20%-25% of hypnobirthing mums also need gas and air for pain-relief and 5%-10% experience ‘special circumstances’, where medical intervention is necessary. You can read hypnobirthing stories on my blog.
A drug-free birth is good because it doesn’t negatively affect the baby and add complications such as further interventions. Research shows that an epidural prolongs birth and heightens the probability of external interventions. Moreover, mothers tend to recover faster after a natural delivery and can move more freely during labour.
You should join us after your 20th pregnancy week but before your 30th week. If you are later than 30 weeks, please still get in touch. I have taught plenty of couples from 36 weeks.
Yes, because self-hypnosis is as effective as the amount of practice. My 4-week hypnobirthing course offers you enough time to do so between classes.
A lot of different people can benefit from hypnobirthing in different ways. First-time mums who have no prior experience of childbirth can address their fears using hypnobirthing techniques. Mothers on their second or subsequent pregnancies might look toward hypnobirthing for a less painful experience. If they’ve had a C-section before, it can help them deliver vaginally.
Hypnosis is nothing more than allowing yourself to enter deep relaxation. Self-hypnosis is a learned skill that you can improve throughout the 4-week course. It is easy to learn and simple to do. You can bring yourself out of it at any time and are still aware throughout.
Yes, because hypnobirthing keeps you calm and thus, your baby as well. You release endorphins when you’re in a peaceful state – the body’s natural relaxant. These are also found in the placenta and umbilical cord. So, your baby feels the same calming sensations while in your womb.
Yes, you’ll need a minimum of 2Mbps upload speed. You can test it using this tool: http://www.speedtest.net.
The best way to take a hypnobirthing course is online with an instructor. You have a better opportunity to ask questions and learn the techniques.
