Investing in Your Birth: Empowering Birth for Empowered Parenting
Bringing a new life into the world is a momentous event filled with joy, anticipation, and sometimes anxiety. For many expectant parents, the birth of their child is one of the most significant milestones in their lives. It marks the beginning of a new chapter, the creation of a family, and the start of a journey into parenthood. Yet, when we think of investing in life's major events, we often overlook the transformative power of birth. This blog post will explore the idea of investing in your birth experience, empowering parents to make informed decisions and fostering a positive start to their parenting journey.
Birth Story: Angela’s Empowered Birth
The week leading up to birth was hardest. Not knowing when baby would come. Worried about being forced into an induction I didn’t want…
It was intense, however all I can describe it as is discomfort not pain. And the most incredible part was that after each surge, there was no pain at all and the whole birth continued like that, even when it came to pushing and crowning.
We need to stop being “good girls”.
From the day we’re born we’re expected to be, taught to be, and conditioned to be “good girls” – to conform, obey and follow the rules without question.
Not too loud. Not too opinionated. Stay in line. Don’t rock the boat.
As children.
As teenagers.
As young adults.
We’re expected to adhere to these “rules”.
However, as we navigate the complexities of adulthood, it becomes evident that this approach doesn’t always serve our best interests.
Hypno what?
Common questions about hypnobirthing.
1. What is Hypnobirthing? When you hear the word hypnobirthing you may imagine swinging pocket watches and think it’s all a bit weird! However, hypnobirthing is just a way of approaching birth with a positive mindset and a set of techniques and tools that aim to reduce fear and anxiety during labour and delivery, promoting a more relaxed and positive birthing experience. It’s all about a positive birth!
“Trust your instincts”… but how?
From a young age, we (women and girls in particular) are often conditioned to defer to authority figures, and to disregard their own instincts. Society's gender norms and expectations have historically shaped this pattern, resulting in women doubting their intuition and ignoring their inner voice. However, it's crucial for them to learn to trust their instincts, as they are valuable sources of guidance, self-confidence, and personal empowerment.
