Preparing for an elective/planned caesarean 1:1
Preparing for an elective/planned caesarean 1:1
This caesarean preparation consists of 1:1 sessions in your own home to help you to feel calm and confident about your upcoming belly birth. Each session runs for 90 minutes and costs £80 and you can choose how many sessions you need. Usually, most people only need two sessions at most but, if you need more, the cost of additional sessions willl be reduced.
If you have chosen to have a planned caesarean or, for medical reasons, you’ve been advised that a caesarean birth is best for both you and baby, this course will address any concerns that you may have and enable you to feel positively about this birth.
If you have a fear of childbirth and have opted for a caesarean, I can provide specific support for women with tokophobia or a deep fear of birth. Get in touch using the Contact Form so we can arrange a time and date to suit you.
Learning how to be calm, confident and comfortable with your birth choice is really important, especially if it’s not your preferred way of birth. My planned caesarean sessions will help you to remain positive about your upcoming birth by talking over and addressing your fears and anxieties using positive affirmations and visualisations and specifically created MP3s.
One 90 minute session will cover:
Anxiety management and preparation of your mental state
Breathing exercises
What a caesarean birth looks like
Confidence in birthing your baby
Additional sessions will include further relaxation and anxiety reducing exercises, using essential oils and addressing the worries that you have. This is tailored to you.
However you give birth, you can feel proud of your achievement. A belly birth is as much a birth as a vaginal birth - it’s not an easy option and it takes courage and strength to have a baby this way. We will talk about your rights in making choices and decisions and help you to look back on your baby’s birth with pride.
