Having a newborn during the pandemic had some challenges, but there have been gifts too--like extra time as a small family unit, a slower schedule, the ability to work from home with my newborn, and a baby who can read people's eyes to see if they are smiling😷. What unique experiences about pregnancy and parenting in a pandemic will you be recording for them?

I love this example of a baby who thinks everything on her walk is hand sanitizer. I'm trying to remember to capture these things that will hopefully feel foreign by the time they are grown.

Language has power. ⁠
⁠
Hypnobabies uses some different language to describe birth that some people might not be used to. It isn't an accident. Some words have negative connotations that can trigger a subconscious fear response, and some words society uses can de-center birthing people from their own births. ⁠
⁠
Birth is a powerful verb, and birthing people are at the center. Babies aren't packages to be delivered or arrive past-due. ⁠
⁠
Hypnobabies language is neutral/person-centered to counteract those impacts on the subconscious. On a conscious level, it can also be empowering to choose language to describe your own experience. ⁠

What ways are your care providers centering you in your birth experiences? ⁠

How it feels is more important than how it looks! Hospitals, birthing centers, and one's own home can all be the right choice if it is where we feel safe and relaxed. When we feel safe--emotionally and physically--, our bodies are able to produce those wonderful hormones that will help to make a birth easier and more comfortable. ⁠

I admit it: I am a sucker for a good birth story.
I love this story about an amazing mom who chose Hypnobabies to support her through a COVID positive birth!
