Preparation for C-Section Course

Sometimes the safest delivery for mum and baby is through c-section. In this 2 session course ( 2 x 90 minutes) you and your birth partner learn techniques for relaxation and self-hypnosis to assist in achieving a calm and family friendly birthing experience

Women who are having a C-section, whether it be elective or for medical reasons, can still use the HypnoBirthing techniques throughout their pregnancy leading up to the arrival of their baby.

How can this course help you?

Prenatal Bonding – the techniques shown you are to help encourage the bonding and connection with your unborn baby and is fabulous for all expectant mums regardless of what type of birthing experience you have.

Breathing Techniques – These techniques are just as important if you are having a C-Section as the point of the breathing techniques is to help relax & slow the body down. Nerves and stress can impact the mum’s ability to take anesthesia and impact her surgery, but can also impact her health and state of calm during the pregnancy. Breathing techniques can help the body accept anesthesia easier, allowing mum to relax and remain calm and also sends lots of oxygen to your baby

If you are relaxed before, during, and after surgery your recovery will be easier, quicker, and hopefully filled with less pain or no pain at all.
The relaxation that this program shows you is also fabulous postnatally to help with adapting to having a new born, being a parent, breast feeding and healing.

When should you start the course?

If you already know that you are likely to be having a planned c-section then you can start this course anytime from 24 weeks. Many clients, however, are told towards the end of pregnancy that they will be having a c-section but there is still time for you to learn these techniques. I have had some clients are far as 36-37 weeks who have still found great comfort in doing this course just before they meet their baby!

Course Fee

This course is taught as a one-to-one as opposed to in a group setting due to the uniqueness of the content.
