My Body My Birth by Laura Hays Pdf

This book will walk you through the progression of your pregnancy from conception to the birth of your baby. Helping you understand not only the growth and development of your baby but also the way your body naturally prepares you to give birth. Just like driving in a city you have never visited before, having a map, which you have looked at and studied beforehand, gives you a heightened confidence in your own ability to get to where you want to go. The most liberating fact you need to know is that your body knows the way. It is without question that the medical sector has played a tremendous role in the reduction of maternal mortality. This book is not a suggestion to shun healthcare. Instead, this map is here to provide you with all the knowledge you need, to ease your anxiety, and to be able to trust that your body is its own natural intelligence.What to consider when choosing where to deliver your baby and different types of birth will be explored. Often, the violations and frustrations experienced by new mothers involve friends and family as well. In light of this, the factors to consider when choosing a birth-partner and the sensitivity of the slippery slope of setting boundaries with loved ones will be addressed. Suggestions for physical and mental exercises in preparation for birth are made, bearing in mind what feels right for you. For some women, the panicking only happens when it hits them that they are bringing home a new person. The chapter on afterbirth will discuss the beginning of this much longer journey. You will then be able to use this knowledge to set up a birth plan which reminds you that your well-being is a priority. This is your body, your birth.

Hypnobirthing by Siobhan Miller Pdf

THIS BOOK WILL MAKE YOUR BIRTH BETTER. IT IS FOR EVERY WOMAN AND EVERY TYPE OF BIRTH. AS FEATURED ON DRAGONS' DEN. 'Siobhan manages to completely demystify hypnobirthing, making it accessible and relevant to all women and all births. This book will be a complete game changer and I will be recommending it to mums-to-be from now on' Sarah Turner, author of The Unmumsy Mum Expert hypnobirthing teacher and founder of The Positive Birth Company Siobhan Miller has made it her mission to change the way women around the world approach and experience birth. Through her teaching she seeks to educate and empower women - and their birth partners - so that they can enjoy amazing and positive birth experiences, however they choose to bring their babies into the world. In this book, Siobhan debunks common myths about hypnobirthing and explains why she believes it can make every type of birth a better experience - from a water birth at home to an unplanned caesarean in theatre. So, what is hypnobirthing? Essentially, it's a form of antenatal education, an approach to birth that is both evidence-based and logical. Hypnobirthing certainly doesn't involve being hypnotised; instead, it teaches you how your body works on a muscular and hormonal level when in labour and how you can use various relaxation techniques to ensure you are working with your body (rather than against it), making birth more efficient and comfortable. Siobhan's advice and guidance will change your mindset and enable you to navigate your birth with practical tools that ensure you feel calm and in control throughout. By the time you finish this book you'll feel relaxed, capable and genuinely excited about giving birth.
