Hypnobirthing: Calm, Confident Birth Preparation

What Is Hypnobirthing?

Calm Births Hypnobirthing is a complete, science-based birth preparation programme designed to help you feel calm, confident, and in control during labour and birth — no matter how your journey unfolds.

Combining modern evidence with deep relaxation, breathing techniques, and mindset tools, hypnobirthing supports a more positive and gentle birth experience for you and your baby.

This course is suitable for all kinds of births and families. Whether you're expecting your first baby or looking for a different experience this time around, you'll leave feeling informed, empowered, and supported — and so will your birth partner.

What’s Included in the Calm Birth Preparation Course?

The course includes three in-depth sessions, each lasting 1.5 to 2 hours, along with guided MP3s for home-based relaxation practice.

For first-time parents, there’s an optional fourth session covering the early postnatal period and baby care essentials.

What You’ll Learn

• How to enter deep relaxation while staying alert and in control
• Why birth doesn’t need to be feared — and how to work with your body
• The role of birth hormones and how to support a smoother labour
• Breathing techniques for every stage of labour and birth
• How to release fear and build a positive birth mindset
• A massage technique that may reduce the likelihood of tearing or episiotomy
• Ways to encourage the natural onset of labour
• How to minimise the need for medical intervention
• How your birth partner can support you confidently and effectively

These techniques support every type of birth — whether vaginal, assisted, or Caesarean — helping you stay calm, connected, and in control throughout.

Is Hypnobirthing Right for You?

Yes — everyone is welcome. Whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital birth, or something in between, hypnobirthing can support your experience.

It’s especially helpful if you’ve had a previous difficult birth and want to feel more empowered this time.

While you can start at any stage, most parents begin the course after 20 weeks to give plenty of time to practise the techniques.

The Benefits of Hypnobirthing

• Hypnobirthing has been shown to offer a range of benefits for both parents and babies:
• Shorter, more comfortable labours
• Reduced need for pain relief and medical intervention
• Increased confidence and emotional readiness
• More relaxed, supportive birth partners
• Calmer babies with higher Apgar scores and better sleep
• A positive mindset that supports your postnatal journey too

Does Hypnobirthing Work?

Absolutely. Hypnobirthing is a proven, evidence-based approach that has helped countless families achieve a more positive, empowering birth experience.

It helps you replace fear with confidence and trust in your body’s natural ability to give birth. Through deep relaxation, self-hypnosis, breathing, and visualisation, you’ll learn how to manage sensations, reduce anxiety, and create a calm environment for your baby’s arrival.

Parents who use hypnobirthing often report:

• Feeling more in control
• Needing less pain relief or intervention
• A more relaxed, positive birth experience
• Greater emotional wellbeing throughout pregnancy

Hypnobirthing doesn’t promise a “perfect” birth — but it does give you the tools to stay calm, make informed choices, and respond confidently, whatever path your birth takes.
