I am intrigued to know what model of care you choose for your birth/s? Did you choose Private with a Private Obstetrician? Public with Midwifery led care? Birth Centre or a Home Birth?? 🤰 . What were your reasoning for your decision? And were you happy with your choice or would you choose differently next time around? . We all have our own personal preferences on the kind of care we want and expect and there is no right or wrong what matters is that you felt totally supported, listened to and respected 💕 . . . . . #whatdidyouchoose? #hospitalbirth #obstetrician #privatemidwife #midwiferyledcare #goldcoast (at Gold Coast, Queensland)

Water can bring so much Relaxation to a birthing women and if a birth pool or bath isn’t available then the next best place is the shower. Hands up if you gave birth in the shower 🙋🏼‍♀️ What was your experience? I would love to hear how labouring in the shower helped you. #repost 📷@belleverdiglionephotography . . . . . . #birthpower #hospitalbirth #birthdoula #improvingbirth #birthmatters #birthphotography #hypnobirthing #hypnobirthingaustralia #hypnobirthingpractitioner #childbirth #birthwithoutfear #preggo #pregnant #pregnancy #pregnantlife #baby #love #birth #positivebirth (at Gold Coast, Queensland)

I tend to attract many second time mums who come to me with their partners wanting to attend my Hypnobirthing Australia™️ classes because their first birth turned out with either a cascade of intervention or ended up in a Caesarean Birth. So many of these second time mums have a very similar story.. they went into their birth not knowing their options and trusting in their medical caregivers and doing what they were told, many of whom then share that they were induced for no medical reason other than they went ‘over’ their estimated due date. It is only then after their first birth experience that they realise that it could have been so much different if they had have done more research, educated themselves and prepared more so they come to me second time around and want to do just that. Unfortunately we are not always given our options straight up and we trust everything that we are told and don’t question... however I am hoping that if you are pregnant for the first time and reading this that it is promoting something inside of you to want to learn more.. to want to as more questions.. to want to ask for evidence based information from your caregivers so that you can make an informed decision One that is best for you and your baby. It is important that you know and understand the Benefits and the Risks of anything that your caregivers want to do to you and to know that you do have a right to question and ask for more information before making a decision. I come from a place where I just want all women to know that we ALL deserve to have a positive experience not matter if you choose to birth naturally, with medical help or via Caesarean. If you would like to learn more on how you can create a positive experience for yourself I have free video tutorials on my website as well as MP3 Resources that you can download but honestly the best way for you to prepare for your birth is to attend a Hypnobirthing Australia™️ course with me because I will cover everything that will give you the knowledge and tools and techniques to have a positive experience.. no matter how your baby comes into the world 💕🤰🙏 . . . . . . #childbirth #childbirtheducation #belly2birth (at Gold Coast, Queensland)

Instead of focusing on everything that could go wrong during your pregnancy, labour and birth what if you were optimistic about all the positive outcomes? What we focus on in life we create for ourselves. Do I personally put positive birth affirmations up all over my house, I listened to positive birth story podcasts in the car and every day I did something to visualise the birth I wanted and I can honestly tell you that I manifested my amazing birth. I love this quote and think it definitely has a powerful message. . . . . . . #hypnobirthingpractitioner #pregnant #hypnobirthingaustralia #goldcoastbusiness #goldcoast #positivevibes #birthaffirmations #pregnancyaffirmations #positivequotes #positivemummy #baby #babyshower #babyshowerideas #belly2birth #hypnobirthing #luv #birthwithoutfear #homebirth #waterbirth #naturalbirth #caesarean #bunintheoven #pregnantlife #preggo #pregnantbelly #pregnancyannouncement (at Gold Coast, Queensland)

Just one of the beautiful Yoga 🧘‍♀️ sessions with @havenforhealth that we had at our @hypnobirthingaustralia practitioners retreat. It’s so important as educators who always give so much to our parents that we also take time out to nourish our own mind, body and soul and that is exactly what we did this weekend.. I am feeling so inspired and uplifted by these beautiful women and I can’t wait to share with my couples everything that I learnt and incorporating more into my Hypnobirthing Australia™️ Classes on the Gold Coast ✨ . . . . . . #hypnobirthingpractitioner #hypnobirthing #hypnobirthingaustralia #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #prenatalyoga #goldcoast #havenforhealth #belly2birth #preggo #pregnant #pregnancy #pregnantlife #pregnantbelly #fitmom #fitmum (at Gold Coast, Queensland)

You need to know what you want before the universe can guide you to it, and this also applies to your birth. You create your own experience and you have the choice to either go into your birth filled with fear or you have the choice to go in with confidence and trust in yourself and your body that you can do this... Which one of these would you prefer? . . . . . . #hypnobirthingpractitioner #pregnant #hypnobirthingaustralia #womenscircle #hypnobirthing #calmbirth #goldcoastbusiness #preggo #pregnantlife #pregnantbelly #pregnancyannouncement #oprah #inspirationalquotes #knowledgeispower #empoweringwomen #goldcoast #goldcoastbusiness #childbirth #naturalbirth #waterbirth #homebirth

I personally found being in all fours most comfortable and instinctively just put myself in that position without really thinking about it. So I would love to hear how or were it what position you found most comfortable?

New mums hands up 🙋🏼‍♀️ if this is you most mornings. This beautiful and real image definitely brings back memories of myself with both my kids. Waking up with my boob hanging out with bubs co-sleeping next to me and living on minimal sleep each night. When you are in this moment it can be so mentally and physically draining but yet we rewarding at the same time. They really do grow up so quickly so have as many cuddles as you can because before you know it you will wake up and be 7 and 4 😔 #repost 📷@art_z_fart_z . . . . #boymum #mumlife #shewakesupthispretty #mylittleboy #helovesboobies #breastfeeding #realparentingmoments #parentinginthewild #parentlife #momsworld #dadlife #dad #mum #boyswillbeboys #sotired #breastisbest #newmum #newborn #newbornphotography (at Gold Coast, Queensland)
