23.01.2022 Mama, its OK to grieve the loss of a normal pregnancy, of hospital antenatal classes and catching up with your friends for coffee and walks. Its OK to feel ...sad that your baby shower has been cancelled I know you were looking forward to it. Youre allowed to be disappointed that your Babymoon your last trip before welcoming your new addition - wont happen now. Mama, its OK to cry because your big boy or big girl wont be able to meet their new baby sibling in the hospital. Its OK to be upset that your friends and family wont be able to visit you after birth or that it might be some time before they can hold your baby in their arms. Mama, its OK to grieve your village, to feel down that mothers groups have been cancelled at a time when you need them most. Its OK to feel sad that so many of your plans for maternity leave have changed and youre learning how to be a mum in this strange new normal. Its OK to feel that the magic of this time has been stolen from you - while also being grateful for it, too. Its okay to grieve. Your feelings are valid and so are your tears. Youre not alone Art by Rita Navarro https://www.cope.org.au

22.01.2022 {YOU BELONG HERE} "You are a dream the world once dreamt and now you are part of its song.... Thats why you are here, in the place where youre meant for this is right where you belong" - M.H. Clark @jerushasutton #hypnobirthingaustralia #hypnobirthing #hypnobirthingpractitioner #positivebirth #birth #positivebirthmovement #birthwithoutfear #empoweredbirth #birthwithconfidence #pregnancy #pregnant #childbirtheducation #baysidebirthing

21.01.2022 {POWER} "There is a power that comes to women when they give birth They dont ask for it, it simply invades them... Accumulates like clouds on the horizon and passes through Carrying the child with it" - Sheryl Feldman. @jerushasutton

21.01.2022 {THE THIRD STAGE} This stage is from when your baby is born until you birth the placenta. How long it takes to birth your placenta can vary depending on a number of factors, including whether you choose to have a physiological or managed third stage. Researching these options before labour and birth is highly recommended.... In the absence of an emergency, you may wish to delay the clamping and cutting of the umbilical cord until it has stopped pulsating, or even until after the placenta is birthed. Babies can receive up to half of their blood volume at this crucial time! @kinshipbykristy

21.01.2022 {TRANSITION} Transition, that time between the first and second stages of labour, means your baby isnt far away! There are various physical signs that a woman may be in transition, but often the more obvious one is what may be called the crisis of confidence. ... You may hear things like "I cant do this anymore", "I want to go home", "Give me all the drugs!". For some women though, especially hypnobirthing women, this stage can be much more subtle, and often it can be the birth partner who notices it before anyone else. Personally, I was in transition as I arrived at the hospital with my second son. And as we were taken to our room I started to silently cry. But these were not tears of fear or pain, they were tears of joy and overwhelming emotion that our baby was coming! Hyonobirthing ensured I felt completely safe and in control, and 15 minutes after this moment our baby arrived calmly in the birth pool! To find out how you can experience a calm, gentle birth like this, send me a message via my page. #hypnobirthingaustralia #hypnobirthing #hypnobirthingpractitioner #positivebirth #birth #positivebirthmovement #birthwithoutfear #empoweredbirth #birthwithconfidence #pregnancy #pregnant #childbirtheducation #baysidebirthing

19.01.2022 {LIGHT TOUCH MASSAGE} Did you know that light touch massage is one of the best ways to help release Oxytocin? Oxytocin is the love hormone, and our bodies release it in large amounts at the start of labour, when baby is born and during breastfeeding. However it is important to keep it flowing throughout our birth by ensuring we feel loved, safe and nurtured. Lots of kind words and light touch massage (which we teach in the Positive Birth Program!) will help keep that love f...lowing! @rebornfromwithin #hypnobirthingaustralia #hypnobirthing #hypnobirthingpractitioner #positivebirth #birth #positivebirthmovement #birthwithoutfear #empoweredbirth #birthwithconfidence #pregnancy #pregnant #childbirtheducation #baysidebirthing

18.01.2022 {FREE} If you have been sitting on the fence about whether to join one of my Positive Birth Program classes, then this is for you! I am running two FREE info sessions, where you will learn - what is covered in the Hypnobirthing Australia Positive Birth Program... - what is hypnosis and how it can help during labour and birth - the various other tools and resources you receive as part of the course - the different course option currently available These sessions will be run via zoom, so if you are interested please DM to secure a spot. There are also still some places left in my November group course, so come along to one of the info sessions to find out a little more before booking your spot!

17.01.2022 {DELAYED CORD CLAMPING} Cord clamping refers to clamping the umbilical cord and stopping the blood flow between the placenta and your baby. In recent times this has been done immediately following birth. However, about 30% of a babys total blood volume is found in the placenta and cord at the time of birth!... By delaying the clamping of the cord until the cord stops pulsating, it turns white, or even until the placenta is birthed, you are allowing your baby to receive this blood that is full of red blood cells, stem cells and very important iron. This can help with growth and immunity, and improved iron stores for babys first 6 months of life. In the absence of an emergency situation, your decision to delay cord clamping should be honoured, if not encouraged, by your care providers. @kinshipbykristy #hypnobirthingaustralia #hypnobirthing #hypnobirthingpractitioner #positivebirth #birth #positivebirthmovement #birthwithoutfear #empoweredbirth #birthwithconfidence #pregnancy #pregnant #childbirtheducation #baysidebirthing #delayedcordclamping #placenta #umbilicalcord

10.01.2022 {YOU CAN} It is so important to block out the negative stories and messages about birth that we can often be flooded with during pregnancy. Dont be afraid when someone begins to share their "horror" story to politely say, "thank you but I am trying to remain positive about my birth and go into this experience with a positive mindset". In the Hypnobirthing Australia course we strongly focus on our subconscious beliefs and thoughts about birth, removing any fears and creating ...and maintaining a positive state of mind! #hypnobirthingaustralia #hypnobirthing #hypnobirthingpractitioner #positivebirth #birth #positivebirthmovement #birthwithoutfear #empoweredbirth #birthwithconfidence #pregnancy #pregnant #childbirtheducation #baysidebirthing

08.01.2022 {TESTIMONIAL} Lovely words from one of my Hypnobirthing couples, who recently welcomed their baby boy. Really shows how the techniques can be applied to any birthing situation and that a positive mindset goes a long way!... When I found out I was pregnant, my excitement was almost completely overshadowed by fear. I was terrified of pregnancy, becoming a parent and most of all, giving birth. We undertook a Hypnobirthing class with Tessa from 27 weeks in hopes of menthally readying ourselves for the final stages of pregnancy and labour and it was honestly the best thing we could have done. After the very first session, both my partner and I felt as though a huge weight had been lifted from our shoulders. The course provided an incredible amount of knowledgewe felt completely prepared for what was to comeand armed us with tools to deal with the anxiety and stress related to parenthood. Having a baby and all that comes with it stopped being scary and in my mind, become something exciting and natural. I ended up needing an emergency c-section at 37 weeks and while this was a far cry from our birth plan, we were able to position the entire experience as a positive one, largely due to the hypnobirthing techniques we had learned. I was able to take control in hospital and ask questions when I felt I needed to. Most importantly I was able to utilise all the relaxation techniques Tessa had taught us to remain calm and present for what could have been a scary or traumatic experience. I felt entirely prepared, even though I wasnt expecting to meet my baby for another few weeks! Tessa completely changed the way I viewed birthing and took away all the anxieties I had around becoming a parent. She made sure I placed trust in my body and instincts and reassured me whenever my fears crept back up through the process. Tessa made sure we felt supported, prepared and educated and Ill be eternally grateful to her and hypnobirthing for giving us the best possible birth experience! @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

08.01.2022 {WORLD BREASTFEEDING WEEK} World breastfeeding week is not about "breast is best", its about supporting women who choose to and are able to breastfeed their babies. For me being able to breastfeed was very important. I was lucky enough to breastfeed Leo until he self-weaned at 15 months and am still currently feeding Rory at 13 months. But it hasnt always been an easy road!... With Leo I discovered I had DMER, a condition where the sudden change in hormones during your let down causes feelings of anxiety or depression. I was lucky that my experience was fairly mild, and finding information on it helped me have an understanding of the physical and hormonal cause and manage It better. It thankfully went away after the first few months, and we then experienced short periods of breast refusal when my cycle returned at 6 months post partum! We worked through all these obstacles and I was able to really enjoy the lovely bonding experience I found breastfeeding provided. Second time around, other than having to juggle breastfeeding with a pre-schooler to entertain, things have been a little smoother. I did have two mild bouts of mastitis thanks to wearing feeding singlets that were a little too snug (Oops!) But thankfully was able to treat these without antibiotics and lots of feeding and massage! Rory is close to being up and walking, and this was around the time that Leo chose to wean, so Im not sure how much longer I have left in my breastfeeding journey. But what I do know is that women must feel supported no matter how they choose to feed their babies. We need more education during pregnancy on breastfeeding, better support for those having difficulties and want to continue to breastfeed, and less judgement for those who choose to formula feed. @maternalinstinctsbyamberley is a midwife and leading breastfeeding educator. Tomorrow (Wednesday 5 August 11am AEST) she is running a FREE live masterclass sharing amazing tips to set yourself up for breastfeeding success! Head over to her page and register to secure one of her limited spots!

03.01.2022 Every once in a while, you come across a quote that completely hits home. In reality, no business idea, product or service is 100% new or unique. Childbirth education, and even Hypnobirthing, is not a new concept and I am definitely not the only practitioner out there (thankfully!) But what is important, especially in this industry, is WHY you do what you do.... I started my business because I believe that EVERY woman deserves to have a positive birth experience, no matter what that may look like for her! Woman should feel knowledgable, empowered and supported going into their labour and birth. They should feel in control of their story and not just a passenger in their birthing experience. I believe its important to remove the fear culture that currently exists around birth. And that when women share their positive birth experiences, that its not seen as bragging or the exception to the norm. This is my WHY. The reason I decided to return to study 6 months after the beautiful, empowering birth of my second baby. The reason I made the very scary leap of starting my own business. The reason I am so passionate about sharing The Positive Birth Program. #hypnobirthingaustralia #hypnobirthing #hypnobirthingpractitioner #positivebirth #birth #positivebirthmovement #birthwithoutfear #empoweredbirth #birthwithconfidence #pregnancy #pregnant #childbirtheducation #baysidebirthing

03.01.2022 {WHAT?} People will often get thrown off when they see the hypno part of Hypnobirthing. But ultimately we focus on preparing you for an easier and more gentle birth. In classes you will learn proven techniques including deep relaxation, visualisation and yes.... self-hypnosis!... While a lot of childbirth classes teach you how to cope with and manage pain, Hypnobirthing is based on the premise that a healthy woman, with an uncomplicated healthy pregnancy and baby, should be able to birth in a much more comfortable manner without unnecessary interventions. We focus on the JOY of birth and understanding how fear negatively affects endorphins (the feel good hormones), that we need to birth. Relaxation, deep abdominal breathing techniques, visualisation, massage and more, all come together to provide us with a tool-kit we can use for a more comfortable, empowering and positive birth experience! If you are interested in learning more about these techniques in one of our Hypnobirthing Australia courses, send me a direct message.

02.01.2022 {CAESAREAN BIRTH} At Bayside Birthing while we teach that birth is a natural, physiological process, we support and celebrate every type of birth!

Birthing parents that require a Caesarean can still use of all the techniques learnt in the Positive Birth Program: breathing, visualisation, self-hypnosis. ... Staying calm can help you make informed decisions and ensure you still have a beautiful and positive birth. We have audio tracks and additional resources in the case of a change of circumstances during your pregnancy also.

02.01.2022 {The First Stage} The first stage of labour is when your cervix begins to soften and open, all the way through to becoming 10cm dilated. Early signs of this stage beginning may include:... a bloodstained mucus discharge or show Period like pain that comes and goes Lower back pain Loose bowel movement Your waters releasing, this may be a gush or slow trickle Nausea You may feel the desire to be home in your safe space with your support people, and just have a feeling that something is changing. The best things you can do in the early part of the first stage include: stay at home for as long as possible Have regular snacks to build up your energy stores Rest as much as possible, if it is night time try and sleep Relax by taking a bath or shower Drink plenty of fluids and go to the toilet regularly to empty your bladder and bowels if you can As you progress through the first stage of labour, you may begin to feel more restless, unable to stay in bed, and want to move around and try different positions. Your surges will become more intense, coming and going like waves. They will become closer together and last longer. This is the perfect time to utilise all the Hypnobirthing techniques you learn in my course, including breathing and visualisation. @jerushasutton

01.01.2022 {POSITIVE BIRTH) At Bayside Birthing one of our biggest focuses is on releasing fear and blocking out the negative stories people like to share (especially when you are pregnant!). Having a positive mindset around birth is vital for a positive birth experience.... One of the most useful tools I found in my last pregnancy, was listening to the amazing podcast @australianbirthstories with Sophie Walker. She interviews women from all walks of life about their pregnancy and birth experiences. Personally I picked and chose which ones to listen to by their titles and the type of birth I was aiming for (eg. Water birth, Hypnobirth) and they helped immensely to get me into a positive and empowered frame of mind! I highly recommend jumping on and having a listen throughout your pregnancy! @jerushasutton @australianbirthstories #hypnobirthingaustralia #hypnobirthing #hypnobirthingpractitioner #positivebirth #birth #positivebirthmovement #birthwithoutfear #empoweredbirth #birthwithconfidence #pregnancy #pregnant #childbirtheducation #baysidebirthing #australianbirthstories
