Hypnobirthing for a Caesarean Birth

A caesarean birth is major abdominal surgery and approaching an elective caesarean or the possibility of once, can come with apprehension and fear. This fear can build throughout pregnancy and result in a more stressful birthing experience.

A calm caesarean course helps you to prepare positively for a caesarean birth; releasing fear, knowing the choices that are yours to make and having the tools to make your birth as and recovery as positive as possible.

I can't recommend Birth with Choice enough! Eleanor was absolutely amazing - so knowledgeable, supportive, and reassuring throughout the entire course. The techniques she taught us have made me feel so much more relaxed and confident about birth. Before the classes, I felt quite anxious, but now I genuinely feel prepared and empowered. The breathing exercises, visualisations, and relaxation methods she shared are invaluable. It was well worth the money, and I would highly recommend it to anyone expecting a baby. Thank you, Eleanor, for making such a difference in our journey! Ciara, March 2025
