Conquer your birth fears and feel empowered

Sign up for this two-part antenatal course now!

Does this sound familiar?

The lack of knowledge about the birthing process, the overwhelming anxiety connected to labour and birth, and the fear of the unknown associated with becoming a parent can make your pregnancy journey feel wobbly at times.

You don't really know what labour & birth looks like, you have no idea what questions to ask your care providers, and you think that the medical professionals are in charge...

Now imagine...

the feeling of relief when you know you have taken the steps to be informed, prepared and educated in the process leading up to your birth. Imagine the peace of mind knowing that all potential risks and outcomes have been thoroughly discussed and the decisions you make are rooted in your own values. You can imagine how empowered you would feel if you had a deeper understanding of birth and could make decisions that feel right for you and your baby.

Birthology is here to help you...

Anatomy & Physiology

We will dive into detail about how your body works during the labour process, and how it is actually perfectly designed to give birth! We also cover the mind/body connection, why it is important, and what you can do to achieve a positive birthing mindset.

This is all the science-y stuff that you need to understand first, in order to fully trust in the process.

Journey of Labour

We will cover all of the stages of labour in real detail. We will discuss comfort measures & pain relief options, and other coping strategies (including hypnobirthing techniques). We will also talk about preparing your body for labour and discuss place of birth options.

We will also cover the beautiful golden hour of when your baby has finally arrived! And finally, we will discuss making a birth plan, what to pack for hospital, the roles of different people/professionals who may have a part to play in your birth, and your practice and preparation going forward.

Interventions

Knowledge is power!

We will cover all of the possible pathways of birth, some of the reasons they may occur, debunk some popular myths, and help you to positively reframe anything you may feel uneasy or frightened about. I never want you to feel scared about birth. This is a super exciting time!!

I will also teach you how to efficiently ask questions to gain the most amount of information, and make fully informed decisions that are best for you and your family.

Prep for Parenthood

Learn all about the postnatal period - how to navigate the magical yet messy fourth trimester, what to expect in your postnatal recovery, and gain confidence in caring for your newborn.

We will cover basic baby care, safe infant sleep, jaundice, infant feeding (breastfeeding and bottle feeding), and how you can prepare antenatally for the postnatal period.

Here's what our students say...

JESSICA

"After doing my own research and online tutorials, I almost didn't book on to a hypnobirthing course as I thought I was well informed about what was to come. I was wrong! I couldn't believe how much I learnt with Lauren on our course, and booking her course was easily the best decision I made. I already know how much it's going to help me during birth. Lauren is so helpful, and it's an added bonus that she's also a Midwife which has helped with any questions we had. I really couldn't recommend this course enough, I do think it's so necessary to be well informed on what is actually happening to your body, and how to cope with both birth and the weeks after"

LUCIA

"Really enjoyed my hypnobirthing classes with Lauren!! Super informative sessions, follow up e-mails & materials provided, and it's all really helped get me clued up on what to expect during my pregnancy and being a first time mum. Certainly feel more at ease now and I'm really looking forward to going into labour. I would really recommend anyone nervous about birth/wanting to know what to expect from their first pregnancy to take this course."

CHARLOTTE

"Anyone looking for antenatal/hypnobirthing classes, I would 100% recommend Lauren at The Mama Collective. Amazingly informative and helpful. Lauren is really friendly and has been such a massive support during my pregnancy."

Where will the sessions be held?

The sessions will be run in the comfort of your own home!

Does my birthing partner need to attend?

It will be beneficial for your birth partner to attend with you, but it is not compulsory.
