Positivity ✨ Reality 👩‍⚕️ Knowledge 🤓 💪🏼 💥 ... and a sprinkling of banter 🤪 I feel like this vid summarises the online antenatal & hypnobirthing course pretty well 😆😁 (Link in bio for more info) #hypnobirthing #midwife #birthprep #birtheducation #antenatalclass #midwifelife #hypnobirthingclass #hypnobirthingonline #antenataleducation #thirdtrimester #28weeks #bumppic #bumpprogress #maternityleave #bumpsonlockdown #positivebirth #32weekspregnant #30weekspregnant #20weekspregnant #20weekscan

I absolutely adore this birth story 😍 Katheri

I was looking at the different types of birth plan $I was looking at the different types of birth plans you can download online and found a template from another well known antenatal education company. On this birth plan when listing the options of pain relief, an epidural wasn’t listed on the template as an option that you could circle. ⚡️AN EPIDURAL WASN’T INCLUDED AS AN OPTION TO CONSIDER⚡️ Now to me, that’s just leading pregnant mothers to believe that they are bad. It’s suggestive that it shouldn’t be on a birth plan so is not even included. But, you know about 32% of labours are with an epidural. Which means that’s a whole lot of mothers who have gone into labour with the option of an epidural not even being on their radar. And we wonder why so many mothers are feeling crap about their births?! You know it’s just as Ok to say on your birth preferences that you’d like an epidural, to say that you’d prefer to have no pain relief, to say that you’d like to try some gas and air. These are all totally acceptable preferences to have. The lack of this one word on the birth plan speaks a thousand. This example is just a fraction of the suggestiveness and vibe out there that’s being exposed to our pregnant ladies…. that one type of birth trumps another. It also means, that women aren’t preparing themselves on how to stack the odds in their favour if they do choose an epidural. (See my IGTV a few posts back) And this right here is why I started doing The Bump to Baby Chapter. I want women to know that they have choices in labour so that they can feel more prepared to cope with contractions. Not that one choice is better than another, but that choices are about what suits you as a person with the labour that you are having. Their choices to own and not to compare to what happened to friends. I want women to not be scared so that all the choices they make are not from a place of fear but positivity. But mainly, what’s important is that it’s more about how you feel during your birth, than whether you chose to have an epidural or not. THAT is the underlying message through my birth course and THAT message I truly believe will start to change the way we view birth. Knowledge is power. Choice is everything ❤️$
