Valentine Gardener from the amazing @postivebirthingandparenting shares with us some of her knowledge about how best to prepare for birth and encouraging postpartum wellbeing.
We cover Hypnobirthing, what it is and how it works and all the other tools you can gather to help guide you through a smooth birth. Tackling fear of birth and how being informed is a huge factor in gaining some control in birth
We then discuss preparing for the transition into becoming a mother both whilst still pregnant and also in the early postpartum period. Understanding the stresses and strains not just physically but emotionally you about to go through and preparing yourself for the change in identity and working through practical tips with your partner. Techniques such as encouraging boundaries and ensuring rest and some you time- all things that I know I struggled with in the early days.
