Hypnobirthing, unit 4 & 5

Hypnobirthing Unit 4: Overview & Summary of Childbirth

Hypnobrithing Unit 5: Birthing - The final act & bonding

The last two sessions of Hypnobirthing go through the birth from surges to the birth of the placenta. In the lest session some time is dedicated to the 4th trimester and breastfeeding. We continue to work on our visualizations and deep relaxation practises, but I would say these sessions are very much focused on creating a solid knowledge base that makes the person giving birth and their support person feel safe and secure. Unit 4 has a section that highlights the birth companion’s role and gives specific tips on what to do. B.R.A.I.N.S. is also introduced here.

I wish there was more time to focus on the on the 4th trimester and breastfeeding, but unfortunately there isn’t. So it there is anything I’d love to improve for the course it is this. But that would mean that a 6th session would need to be added and that isn’t possible.

The last thing we do before we say goodbye is to do a last relaxation session which is the Forest Fantasy Metaphor. I love this script, it’s short and sweet and magical. In this script you encounter your own special fawn that represents the baby.

It’s always bitter sweet saying goodbye to my Hypnobirthing groups. I know that it’s part of it, and that it means that they are closer to welcoming their family member earth side. But a goodbye is a goodbye. Some I never hear from again, others stay in contact and my favorite thing is getting the announcement that their baby has arrived. A few I also bump into at my regular job at the postnatal ward which is such a luxuary.
