What to expect?
Across four sessions, we’ll explore the key elements of birth preparation — from understanding how your body works, to building practical tools and confidence for labour, to creating a calm, informed mindset. Each session builds on the last, helping you and your birth partner feel fully prepared for a positive birth experience.
This course follows the KGHypnobirthing method, a well-established and accredited approach that combines evidence-based knowledge with practical relaxation and mindset tools to support a calm, confident birth.
Session 1: Understanding Birth
We begin by exploring what actually happens in the body during labour, how your muscles, hormones, and mind all work together to support birth. You’ll learn how to create the conditions that allow your body to do what it’s designed to do, helping you feel calm, confident, and in control.
Session 2: Your Birth Toolkit
This session is all about practice and preparation. You’ll learn and experience practical tools such as guided relaxations, breathing techniques, visualisations, and massage. These become your toolkit for staying calm and focused, both during pregnancy and on the day of birth.
Session 3: Making Informed Choices
We’ll talk about the times when birth might take an unexpected turn, and how to navigate those moments with clarity and confidence. You’ll learn how to understand your options, communicate your preferences, and make decisions that feel right for you and your baby.
Session 4: Bringing It All Together
In our final session, we’ll bring together everything you’ve learned to help you feel fully prepared for birth. We’ll look at the stages of labour, what to expect during the golden hour, and how to create a calm environment wherever you give birth. We’ll also talk through your birth preferences and some practical tips including what to pack for the big day.
