Group Hypnobirthing Courses South Wales, Pontypridd and Caerphilly

Attend with your birth partner

It’s not what you think!

Some hypnobirthing courses will have you focussing on getting your picture perfect birth, that your most ideal image of how your birth looks will happen if you affirm it enough. But wouldn’t you feel more confident and prepared if you had been given the tools to make any birth experience a positive one? If like me, you feel safe when you prepare for all possibilities, then the birth of your baby is the number one life event to put this in to practice.

Is birth unpredictable? Yes, it can be! I know birth can have many twists and turns - and that’s exactly why you need to prepare for it.

How do I know this? I’ve experienced it myself! My second birth didn’t go in any way how I had hoped it to, however, I was fully prepared for any hurdle we had to face and it was the most important factor in me still having an incredibly positive birth experience. So whilst you SHOULD be hoping and aiming for your picture perfect birth, preparing for all outcomes will give you so much more confidence and strength than you can imagine. Combine this with a tonne of pain-coping strategies and you’re well on your way to the positive birth experience you deserve.

You won’t remember the fairy lights but you WILL remember how your birth experience made you FEEL.

My Group Hypnobirthing Course will teach you everything you need to feel calm, confident and in control for birth. You’ll also have opportunity to meet other soon to be parents with similar due dates to you. We’ll spend time chatting through all of your worries and anxieties, building your confidence in yourself and giving you all the knowledge and tools you need to get excited to give birth.

Are you ready to understand what’s going to happen to your body and how your hormones affect labour?

Do you want to learn what you can do to cope with labour pain at each stage of labour?

Are you ready for your birth partner to become the best support for you during labour and birth?

Do you want to learn how to make induction and caesarean positive should you need them?

Start here: Birth Hormones

If you want your birth to progress smoothly, quickly and more comfortably, your body needs to produce oxytocin. When we feel fearful, anxious, stressed or panicky, our body fills with hormones that prevent oxytocin from working.

In a nutshell:

The more relaxed you are = the more oxytocin you produce = the easier birth is

Hypnobirthing teaches you how to keep good birth hormones flowing and the panicky hormones at bay!

If you’re not quite sure what hypnobirthing is about or your birth partner is a bit sceptical, take a look at my What is Hypnobirthing page

I’m Hannah, the founder of The Contemporary Birth Company.

I am passionate about hypnobirthing and supporting mum-to-be’s who are scared of hospitals, labour pain, medical intervention and birth itself, overcome these fears and stack the odds in their favour of having a positive birth experience, however your birth unfolds. Whether you give birth at home, on a labour ward, in your car or a midwife-led unit, I can give you the tools to feel confident and to manage pain in a realistic way.

I have personally used the hypnobirthing tools I’m going to teach you, in both of my pregnancies and births, two very different experiences and both incredibly empowering.

My goal is for you to feel calm and relaxed about labour, to help you figure out what a positive birth would feel like for you, then give you all of the knowledge, breathing techniques and pain management tools you need to help that happen.

I will never tell you that a positive birth has to look a certain way. Take this from a mum and hypnobirthing teacher who has had an incredibly positive induction story!

I live in South Wales with my husband, our two children and our dog.
