🌙 Analyzing the Moon in a child’s natal chart reveals their inner world, which is crucial for several reasons: ✨ To understand their needs and emotions: Children can’t always clearly express their feelings and thoughts, especially at a young age. By understanding a child’s inner world, parents can better grasp their needs and help them manage their emotions. ✨ To support their development: A child’s inner world affects both their emotional and cognitive development. Understanding their thoughts and feelings, parents can create a conducive environment for their growth. ✨ To build strong relationships: When parents know the inner world of their child, they can communicate more effectively, build trust, and provide support. ✨ To detect problems early: Changes in a child’s inner world can indicate issues like anxiety, depression, or trauma. Knowing their thoughts and feelings allows parents to spot these problems early and seek appropriate help. ✨ To foster empathy and compassion: Understanding a child’s inner world helps parents develop empathy and compassion in their child. They learn to see the world through their child’s eyes and better understand their experiences. #astrology #mom #moon # #zodiac #child #childnatalchart #natalchart #birthchat #horoscope #astrologyposts

Oh man am I excited to bring you this episode tomorrow… 😆 In this weeks episode I chat to Mandy from @assertive_birth and we have a biiiiiig chat about the maternity system and her birth experiences with her 5 children, including free birthing her littlest baby. There’s something special about 2 Hypnobirthing teachers coming together to chat about the maternity system. Because we not only have our own experiences, we also have insight into the experiences of numerous women within our area and beyond. So we really see it all. Hear it all. And that can be a hard position to be in at times. We so badly want women to be well supported to have positive experiences, but we also understand the difficulties women face in trying to get that. We also understand the pressures on midwives to support women in a system that is not designed to do so. It’s tough! Here us explain more within this episode. It was also fantastic to hear Mandy’s experiences in birthing her own children. She’s really done a whole 180 from her first to fifth birth and it’s honestly incredibly inspiring. Want to hear what it’s like to free birth and why she wanted to do it? Make sure you tune in! Super proud to call you a podcast guest and friend Mandy! I hope you all love this one guys, I really encourage you to listen even if you think you’d never free birth yourself! It will go live at 5am 🥰 #freebirth #birthwithoutintervention #birthoutsidethesystem #birth #unassistedbirth #birthplanning #birthpodcast #birthphysiology #birthprep #birthpreparation #labourprep #labourpreparation #birthchat #birthhacks #labourhacks #birthstories #positivebirth #birthenvironment #mumpodcast #podcastformums #mumspodcast #mompodcast #mompodcast #podcastformoms #motherhoodpodcast

6 weeks postpartum (yesterday). The 6 week mark after birth always feels like the end of a journey to me. Postpartum lasts a long time, but this is the place where you usually part ways with the provider you’ve seen throughout the whole process. Adeline’s pregnancy was different than my others. We chose a different route - a planned home birth. I saw a midwife, made more choices than I ever have, and had a birth pool in my living room at one point. If you saw Adeline’s birth announcement, you know she was born at the hospital. I had some health issues pop up at the end of pregnancy that made a hospital birth the safest route for me. Even knowing how things shifted, I wouldn’t have changed my initial plan and the people involved for anything. I was so supported, cared for, and loved. Tim and my girls were too. From prenatal care, deciding to transfer, labor with my midwife acting as my doula, and postpartum visits, it was nothing like I’ve ever experienced. I’m so so thankful! I’ll share my birth story like I did with the other two at some point when I’m ready. Grief is a funny thing, and I’m definitely grieving the loss of the plans I had for how this birth would go. Despite that, when you read our story, you will see so much of God’s goodness. You’ll see it in the desires I had for birth that He still allowed to happen, you’ll see caring and understanding staff at the hospital, you’ll see it in the way Tim was my rock in all of this, you’ll see Him in our sweet girl, and you’ll also see Him in the kindness and compassion of my midwife, Jen. I’m so thankful for her and all of Nova Birth Services! What a blessing you are! @nova.birth.services @jenmille

Did you know approximately only 4% of babies are born on their estimated due date? (data from The Perinatal Institute). The actual length of pregnancy can vary by up to five weeks, meaning that a baby is said to be at term if he/she is born between 37 and 42 weeks. All 3 of my babies came at week 39 on the dot!! Which absolutely fascinates me. What week did your baby come? Comment below! #EDD #estimatedduedate #estimatedduedates #39weekspregnant #hospitalbirth #homebirth #birthprep #pregnancy #birthchat

How invested are you for a positive birth? I'm mean really, how much time have you invested? How much time have you considered your options for labour and birth? Have you committed to learning about labour, learning how to support yourself, learn your options around pain relief, learning how to have a positive birth experience? How much work has your birth partner put in, are they ready and prepared to support you during the birth? Do they know how to manage your [pain levels, do they know what to do to make it less painful for you? Do they know how to support you to have a quicker easier birth experience? Or are you in the unprepared camp, you can't prepare for birth? I'm just going to go with the flow camp? Birth is not just a day!! Read more from my NEW blog post on the website.

So lovely to finally meet up with you Amanda @essentialmeservices. We’ve heard about each other for a long time and it was lovely to finally meet you! Amanda was the lady who called me recently to come to a home birth to help shift things when it had become stagnant.

We had a lovely cuppa chatting about all things birth <3 #birthchat #acupunctureforbirth #birthdoula #doula

❤️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗶𝗹𝗮 ❤️ Emma started my course wanting a planned caesarean and finished it wanting a a vaginal birth 🙌🥰❤️ And that's because... Learning about birth, your amazing body, your choices, working on mindset, having powerful tools and techniques, helps to take away the fear of the unknown and replace it with CONFIDENCE and SELF BELIEF 💪 After the course Emma decided she didn't want any form of induction but when she got to 40 weeks and 5 days she was feeling impatient and wanted to meet her baby girl 👉 You can read Emma's amazing, empowering birth story in full at the link in my bio 🥰 Here are some of my favourite snippets 👇 ❤️ After having the pessary inserted Emma walked around the hospital, curb walked, side stepped and even did some star jumps to try and get her birth going. Go Emma! ❤️ When she started to feel her contractions she felt EXCITED 🥰 ❤️ Emma WASN'T WORRIED and FELT CONFIDENT 💪 ❤️ Emma and her husband FELT ABLE to MAKE DECISIONS THAT WERE RIGHT FOR THEM 🙌 ❤️ Despite birth going off plan they made a gorgeous birth environment with their music playlist, diffusing essential oils and mood lighting 🥰 ❤️ They were completely AWARE OF THEIR OPTIONS and KNEW WHAT QUESTIONS to ask and HOW to MAKE BIRTH as POSITIVE and EMPOWERING as possible Emma thank you so much for sharing your empowering birth story with us and huge congratulations again to you and Adam on the birth of Lila 🎊❤️🥰 👉 What do you love most about Emma's birth story?

This is your baby's first three months of life in the world and your first three months as parents 🥰. There is A LOT going on in that time. Understanding the changes and things that you are all going through will help you to feel more prepared and will allow you to plan for that time so that it can be....... 3️⃣ SLOW DOWN!

❤️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝘆𝗱𝗮 ❤️ 👉 It was Lucy and David's second time using hypnobirthing to prepare for birth but their first time with me and it was an absolute privilege to guide and support them both 🥰 I ❤️ that Lucy said her birth story began the day that they had their hypnobirthing refresher session with me. After experiencing a miscarriage Lucy was struggling with how she was feeling and finding it hard to focus on preparing for their birth 😔 which is of course completely understandable. But she also knew she wanted to be able to look forward to this next birth too. 👉 We spent time talking about their feelings and emotions and what Lucy and David could do to work through these and move towards a place of peace and positivity for this pregnancy and birth. I ❤️ all of the rituals and routines that they created after our session and how they fully immersed themselves in their hypnobirthing practise for the remaining weeks of their pregnancy 🥰 And on the 1st June Ayda was quickly and calmy birthed into the world 🎉🥰❤️ 👉Head to my bio to read this beautiful empowering birth story then 👇 Leave a ❤️ if you loved reading this birth story as much as I did (or an actual comment 😊) Lucy and David you totally ROCKED YOUR BIRTH!

𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 👇 That the brain plays a huge role in birth! 👉 Birth isn't just about your body doing something amazing! 👉 Your brain has a huge role in birth too! 👉 In fact your brain (it's beliefs and your thoughts) can impact on how the body works in birth! 👉 Your brain can in fact slow down your birth or stop it all together because it controls the release of hormones. So learning about your brains involvement in birth and teaching yours that birth is safe, is as important as learning about your amazing birthing body 🙌💪🥰 👉 Tag any pregnant people in your life they need to know this information! 👉 As always I'd ❤️ to know your thoughts in the comments 👇 Anna xx PS) Taking bookings for my September group hypnobirthing antenatal course in Bromsgrove where you will learn all about this and more.

An introduction to those who are new here and a reintroduction to those who have been around a little while now. I'm Lauren, I'm a mum of two here on earth and one in the skies, I'm a healer, My previous career was as a nurse midwife. Now a Hypnotherapist and NLP master practitioner I have gathered knowledge and skills that help those that have experienced pregnancy loss and birth trauma release negative emotions and make a special space to honour the littles lives no longer in earth's gravitational pull. I love the gentleness of hypno therapy and Time Line Therapy (R) and the unconscious minds ability to always have our back. It's birth trauma awareness week, and for anyone booking a birth chat or a hypnosis session during July I'm offering 20% off!!! DM for the discount code. So book in and tell your friends.

Believe these statements to be true 💪🥰 👉 Enjoy having your baby to yourself a while longer before you share them with everyone else 🥰. You'll miss your bump when it's gone! 👉 Keep focusing on things that help you feel calm, happy or relaxed (this gets your birth hormones flowing) and don't focus on the time that is passing. 👉 I've also reminded them that they get to accept or decline an induction. You can do that too! If you are near, at or past your due date I hope this is helpful 👇 👉 Drop a ❤️ in the comments to let me know (or share an actual comment, I always love to know your thoughts on things I share 😊) 👉 Save for later so you can keep reminding yourself of these things. 👉 Tag any pregnant people in your life that need to know this.

And continued to roll as I read on... ❤️ Amber breathed their gorgeous baby boy into the world, using all of her tools and with Dylan by her side 🥰 ❤️ And she felt confident that she'd done it right and wouldn't have done it any other way. 👉Amber had a lot of challenges in her pregnancy which then had an impact on her birth but her story says it all...

⭐ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘅𝘆𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗻 ⭐ If you are pregnant you need to know about oxytocin! 1️⃣ First you need to know what it is.... it's an AMAZING hormone! 2️⃣ It makes your uterus contract (contractions are essential to birth and make amazing things happen in your body that help you birth your baby). Without it you don't have contractions. 3️⃣ It helps you to feel more calm and relaxed (lots of reasons why this is helpful in birth) As you can see it's a pretty important hormone! Your body will produce it when you go into labour BUT lots of things can impact on how much of it you have. 👉 You can learn about things to help it flow 👉 And you can learn about things that might stop it flowing 👆 My hypnobirthing antenatal course is full of information like this what will help you to feel more PREPARED, EMPOWERED and READY for your birth however it happens 🙌 👉 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗠𝗔𝗭𝗜𝗡𝗚! 𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲 👇 Anna xx PS) My next group hypnobirthing antenatal course starts tomorrow evening.

His mum Sam said that hypnobirthing helped her to accept when things didn't go to plan. Her husband Adam was able to advocate for her and they used the BRAIN tool to make decisions ❤️ ❤️ George was born on 2nd July. After a challenging pregnancy where Amber felt like she'd lost control of everything, she said my course enabled her to take back control. She knew she had choices and with her partner Dylan they took control of their birth (Amber's words) made it their own using the tools, techniques and support they received from my course ❤️ Amber also said in her Google review 👇 "𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 1,000,000% 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵!" ❤️ Georgina was born on 8th June while her mum and dad were on holiday in Cornwall 🥰. Rosie said they had the most magical experience which wouldn't have happened had they not attended my course. She also shared that they had some challenges along the way and used the things they'd learnt on the course. ❤️ Rosie also said in her Google review 👇 " 𝗘𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁, 𝘄𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳."

It sounded gorgeous! 👉 I ❤️ reading how Tanya used her hypnobirthing techniques, a TENS machine and gas and air to get to 9cm! 👉 I ❤️ reading how Olie supported Tanya emotionally and physically and asked questions to help with decision making.

😔 I actually heard someone say this and my heart sank 😔 Obviously I'm truly happy that this person had what they described as a perfect birth BUT... The fact that they described it as a perfect 'hypnobirth' is what made me sad. Why? 👉 Because there is NO such thing as a hypnobirth!! 👉 The fact that this person had a home water birth does not mean she had a 'perfect' hypnobirth! 👉 Hypnobirthing is a form of antenatal education it is NOT a type of birth! 👉 People who know nothing about hypnobirthing will hear this kind of message and think hypnobirthing is all about achieving a dreamy, perfect birth that goes to plan. IT'S NOT !!! 👉 Hypnobirthing isn't about how or where your baby is born... 👇 👉 It's about how you FEEL!! Hypnobirthing is about so many things that I've decided to share those in another post another day as I've already ranted on enough 😁 👉 But this was an important thing to share because I don't want people missing out on hypnobirthing because of others people's misunderstandings of it. Rant over 😊 Anna xx PS) This lady was not one of my hypnobirthing mums. My couples know that hypnobirthing is about them ROCKING THEIR BIRTHS HOWEVER IT HAPPENS 💪🙌🥰 #hypnobirthingcourse #hypnobirthingteacher #positivebirth #waterbirth #hospitalbirth #birthingclass #birthstory #positivebirthstory #mumtobe #bump #antenatalclass #babycare #babyontheway #bromsgrove #stokeprior #redditch #southbirmingham #worcester #droitwich #kidderminster #stourbridge #hagley #northfield #longbridge #alcester #barntgreen #firstbaby #birthchat

🥰 On Monday I met up with these lovely ladies and their gorgeous babies 🥰 ⭐ These new mums attended my group hypnobirthing course together in January 🥰 ⭐ They went out for dinner together just after the course finished and have kept in touch via their WhatsApp group 🥰 👉 This was their first meet up now all of their babies are here 🥰 and they kindly asked me to join them❤️ 👉 We chatted about birth, breastfeeding, formula feeding, expressing, nappy explosions, colic, baby classes, going back to work, finding your own way as a parent... In fact we didn't stop chatting in between scoffing our two course lunch 😍 And I got to enjoy cuddles with Dottie and Seb 🥰 👉 My course isn't just about getting ready to ROCK YOUR BIRTH its also about friendship and support.

I had the most informative chat with the midwife counsellor today, she had my notes from Harriets birth, and we talked about how I’m really scared that this baby is going to come really quickly like Harriet did. But she reassured me that actually now they know how my body copes, they will be more prepared, I will be offered pain relief quicker, and that actually my body did so well last time and to be told that felt really empowering. Hopefully this feeing lasts and I won’t end up in complete shock mind and body like last time! #empoweringwomen #birthchat #beingprepared #midwivesmakeadifference #secondtimemum #tryingtobepositive

Right now you might be wondering how on earth it could be possible to feel RELAXED during your birth 🤔 It is totally possible! But... 👇 👉 It takes practice, lots of amazing tools and techniques and learning about birth really helps too! Here are three benefits for your birth if you can be as RELAXED as possible 👇 1️⃣ Your birth muscles (uterus) can work more easily 🙌 2️⃣ You are likely to have more birth hormones (which also power your uterus!) 3️⃣ You will enjoy your birth more! It's a much more pleasant feeling than being tense and anxious! There are many more benefits but I said I'd stick to three 😁 👉Save for later 👉 Tell me in the comments if you found this helpful 👉 Tag any pregnant people in your life Right off to get ready to welcome my new couples 🥰 Anna xx #positivebirth #hypnobirthingcourse #antenatalclass #birthclass #pregnancyclass #mumtobe #momtobe #firstbaby #birthchat #birthtips #secondbaby #stourbridge #bromsgrove #redditch #worcestershire #droitwich #southbirmingham #birminghamuk #worcester #kidderminster #hypnobirthing #calmbirth

I LOVED my tens machine during the latent stage of labour. It helped support me and take the edge off when I was focusing on breathing through my surges! It’s great because it can be used during early labour when you need to stay at home for as long as possible or if like me you plan to birth at home I found it really helpful to get though a huge block of time before getting in the pool. I loved that I had control over it and that magical boost button to increase the power of the electrical currents during a surge! What did you find helpful alongside your hypnobirthing techniques?

Share your favourite feel good song in the comments 👇 👉 One that would get you up dancing and feeling happy💃😊 🎶 Music can completely change how you feel 🎶 👉 It's a great idea to make yourself a high vibe playlist for birth. 👉 In the early stages of labour you can have a kitchen disco (great for your birth hormones and for helping your baby move through your pelvis!) 👉 It will also energise you and motivate you if that's what you need at any point in labour. 💃 If I had to choose one I think it would be 'I gotta feeling' by The Black Eyed Peas... I also like 'Happy' by Pharrell Williams... Oh and Beyonce has some amazing power tunes💃 👇👇 Share yours in the comments 👇👇 And don't forget to add it to your high vibe birth playlist.

❤️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗝𝗮𝗸𝗲 ❤️ I absolutely ❤️ receiving and sharing my couples birth stories with you! After developing gestational diabetes an induction was recommended to Faye and when I received an email from her husband Mark to say she'd 'rocked it' I was sooooo happy 💪🙌🥰 I ❤️ reading how Faye helped her birth hormones to flow before her induction ( a nice walk, hot shower, painted her nails, watched an England netball match on TV) And when they arrived at the hospital they both did an amazing job of keeping those hormones flowing, managing mindset and using their tools and techniques to stay calm and relaxed 🥰 👉 Faye said the breathing techniques made a huge difference to her experience as did understanding what was happening in her body! 👉 She also said that her birth experience was a positive one that she'd like to relive again. 👉 And that she is proud of her body and what it achieved 💪💪💪 You can read Fayes full birth story at the birth story link in my bio. ❤️ Thanks so much Faye and Mark for sharing your birth experience with us and thank you for choosing me to guide and support you both ❤️ Anna xx #firstbaby #birthstory #positivebirthstories #positivebirth #induction #babyboy #newbaby #birthnews #birthtips #birthchat #rockyourbirth #hypnobirthingcourse #antenatalclass #pregnancyclass #birthpreparation #bromsgrove #droitwich #redditch #worcester #kidderminster #birminghamuk #mumtobeuk #duein2023 #genderreveal #20weekscan #gestationaldiabetes #inductionoflabour

If like me you are partial to a bit of chocolate (or a lot 😍) then you'll be pleased to know it can help you in labour and birth 👇 🍫 Eating chocolate will get your birth hormone oxytocin flowing (which powers birth by making your uterus contract!) 🍫 Your uterus is a muscle that helps you birth your baby and it's working hard! Eating chocolate will give you and your body a boost of energy as labour progresses! 🍫 Eating chocolate (especially if you love it) will get your endorphins flowing! Endorphins are your body's own pain relief mechanism! 👉Share your absolute favourite type of chocolate in the comments and get a stash for your birth 👇 Anna xx PS) I am not suggesting you just eat a tonne of chocolate during labour that would make you feel awful but it's a great boost when you need it 🥰 #endorphins #birthhormones #birthchat #birthtips #birthpreparation #mumtobe #momtobe #birthclass #hypnobirthing #nct #meadowbirthcentre #birthplan #duejuly #dueaugust #dueseptember #firstbaby #secondbaby #werehavingababy #nurseryideas #maternitystyle #birminghamuk #bromsgrove #kidderminster #droitwich #redditch #worcester #worcestershire #chocolatebar #chocolatelover #12weekscan

🎉 My out of office is on 🎉 I'm taking a long weekend off to rest, recharge and enjoy my family 🥰 I might also consume lots of chocolate, it is Easter after all 😍 In fact chocolate can help you during labour and birth!

❤️ The birth of Luke ❤️ 👉 Lots of my hypnobirthing mums tell me how much they enjoy reading the EMPOWERING birth stories I share with them and that it helps them to feel more POSITIVE, CONFIDENT and CAPABLE about giving birth themselves! 👉 This week I've got an unplanned caesarean birth to share with you. ⭐ Emily and Andy attended one of my group hypnobirthing antenatal courses to prepare for their first birth and here's a snippet from their birth story 👇 " I attended Anna’s hypnobirthing course to put my anxieties at ease around labour. Needless to say my birth story was so far away from my birthing dreams. Anna’s course helped me and my partner to implement lot's of useful strategies. We felt knowledgeable on what our options were in different scenarios. Even though the experience was far from what I had imagined I look back on it and feel so proud and positive, a truly magical moment" This ☝️ makes me very happy 🥰 👉 Birth can happen in different ways, it can go in a different direction to how you'd hoped but being prepared makes a huge difference to your birth experience. ❤️ You can enjoy Luke's whole birth story at the birth story link in my bio❤️ Thank you so much Emily for sharing with us 🥰 Anna xx #firstbaby #firsttimemum #birthstory #positivebirthstories #birthprep #birthtips #birthchat #pregnancytips #16weekspregnant #20weekspregnant #20weekscan #firsttrimester #halfwaythere #bumpphoto #mumtobe #momtobe #worcestershire #birminghamuk #kidderminster #droitwich #redditch #bromsgrove #meadowbirthcentre #pregnancyclass #pregnancyyoga #maternityshoot #maternityfashion #pregnancyannoucement

Have a lovely weekend too and I'll be back on Monday 😊 Anna xx #socialmediabreak #familytime #switchoff #itstheweekend #mumlife #mumofboys #hypnobirthingteacher #antenatalcourse #birthprep #birthtips #birthchat #pregnancytips #bromsgrove #redditch #worcester #kidderminster #droitwich #birminghamuk #stourbridge #muminbusiness #mumpreneur #hypnobirthingcourse
