Invaluable, expert-led preparation for your calm planned caesarean in Bristol...or anywhere else!
Did you know that a caesarean birth can be just as magical and special as any other type of birth?! Or that you actually have loads of choice around the things that happen during a caesarean to make it a really personalised and positive start to life with your new baby? Did you know that the powerful tools that we teach on our regular hypnobirthing courses, for relaxation, reducing anxiety and making informed decisions, are invaluable for every single birth - including caesareans?! Just imagine walking into theatre feeling confident, positive and supported, with the ability to relax on demand & just enjoy meeting your baby...
If you have decided to have a planned caesarean birth, whatever the reason for it you might be understandably feeling a little anxious. Having a caesarean (especially for the first time), is completely unfamiliar territory and can feel very daunting. The idea of being awake during a major surgery can be very nerve-wracking for some, or the feeling of not being able to move or be in control. Or, you may be someone who has had a previous experience that is affecting how you feel about this upcoming birth?
You might be feeling ecstatic to have been able to choose a caesarean birth and want to discover ways to make it a truly awesome & memorable event....or you might be someone feeling disappointed at the loss of the vaginal birth you had originally hoped for, seeking ways to still have a truly awesome & memorable experience....
Whatever your reasons are for landing on this page, what better way to prepare for this precious, life-changing event than having a local midwife who is regularly in theatre facilitating caesarean births taking you through each & every step?! You can't beat having in-depth, accurate knowledge & expertise on your side to help you & your birth partner feel absolutely ready...
This unique 4 hour Calm Caesarean Workshop is delivered 1-2-1 either in-person at your own home (£180) or via Zoom with course materials posted out to you (£155) or with digital course materials provided (£145).
