There are enormous fears around pregnant women getting coronavirus and the effect this will have on the health of their baby. I am getting many emails from my Hypnobirthing Hub mothers to be, about this very topic and it is important to separate the fact from the fiction. It is true that pregnant women have altered immune systems, meaning they are at a higher risk for severe complications if exposed to coronavirus. “Certainly, women who have any other health issues who are also pregnant should also be that much more vigilant,” Doctors have warned. Therefore, if you do have other health complic ..read more

On April 23, 2018, at 11:01 am London Time, a baby boy, weighing 8lb 7oz, was born to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. When they stepped outside the hospital where the royal baby was born, well-wishers had a brief glimpse of the boy who would be fifth in line to the throne.

It was Kate Middleton who took the spotlight. As people gathering strained to get a glimpse of the sleeping angel, one can’t ..read more

30 percent of women experience clinical depression or an anxiety disorder at some time during pregnancy. Yet some studies indicate that fewer than 15 percent seek treatment, says Healy Smith, M.D., a reproductive psychiatrist at the Women’s Mental Health Clinic at New York-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. The myth that pregnant women must be happy is still really prevalent, Dr. Smith explains. Because of that, treatment providers may be less likely to inquire into a woman’s mental state, and a woman might feel ashamed to bring it up. It is important that pregnant women don’t suffer. Oft ..read more

Why would you want to do that? was the puzzled Obstetrician’s response, to my seeming rational birth request. Like so many other women, I have asked our birth providers to delay cord clamping (DCC). In other words; after our baby is born, wait until the cord stops pulsating and then cut the cord. Hypnobirthing Hub has been promoting the overwhelming benefits of delaying the cutting of the umbilical cord and the World Health Organization agrees. WHO states the late cord clamping; that is one to three minutes after delivery or longer, is recommended for all births. However, most midwives would a ..read more

How many thoughts do you have in a single day? Experts estimate people have been between 4,000 and 7,000 thoughts each day. In pregnancy, we are more at the mercy of our thoughts, with the daily thought count closer to 8,000. It sounds an outrageous amount of thoughts running through our brain, but most of the time we are not even aware that we are thinking. In fact, it is extremely difficult to simply stop the brain from thinking. We are even thinking when we are asleep!Exercise: For a full minute stop all your thoughts. Set the timer for a minute and tell your mind not to think anything. If ..read more
