You're pregnant, Congratulations!
And, shhh, let me whisper that ‘it’s totally normal to feel scared, anxious, or pretty nervous about the whole birth thing', especially because TV shows so many scary births! You’ll be pleased to know many of them are also totally. unrealistic. Lots of positive birth stories exist but they don’t make good TV.
It’s time to take the power back into your own hands and prepare for birth so that you can trust your body, your innate wisdom, and look forward to welcoming your baby into this world with love and confidence. Plus, when you prepare for birth you’ll quickly find that you enjoy your pregnancy so much more and experience a lot less aches and pains! I’ve got some brilliant resources for you.
What exactly is birth preparation?
It’s a lot more than packing your birth bag! 😂
Birth prep helps you to have a better birth because you’ll be able to put all that you’ve learnt into practice and instead of finding yourself swept along by whatever might happen on the day you’ll be able to positively influence it.
Birth prep with me is about creating strength and stamina in your body, shifting your mindset from one of fear to one of confidence, understanding your choices, and knowing how to use breathing techniques to minimise pain.
Fear and tension are the #1 enemy in the birthing space. I teach you how to be calm and relaxed no matter what
Welcome some support?
Your baby is born, you are born as a mother, a man as a father, a family as a family.
You’ll want to be prepared so that you don’t start off regretting not feeling ready to give birth or doubting your choices.
You do have choices and 9/10 women regret handing over their choices to the midwife or consultant. When you join The Prenatal Snug you’ll understand why.
The Prenatal Snug is all online so you can live anywhere in the world. I also offer private in person and online yoga, hypnobirthing and birthing confidence sessions.
Who’s Sophia?
I’m on a mission to support you give birth with confidence and in as much comfort as possible.
There is SO much you can to do positively influence your labour.
I run an online sanctuary where I share prenatal yoga, yoga for birth, breathing techniques, antenatal education and build birthing confidence.
In the last month The Prenatal Snug has welcomed six babies into the world - all of them described as ‘perfect’ or ‘amazing’ births. They also just happened to all be vaginal births but if your idea of a perfect birth is a c-section or lots of pain relief it’ll massively help you too.
Here’s what second time mum Wendy had to say:
The Prenatal Snug has been amazing, so good. All the lovely girls in The Snug, being able to do the yoga whenever it suited me, and Sophia you’re amazing at what you do, you really are. Because it’s all online just being able to go back when you’ve got a spare 20 mins or feel stressed or a bit stiff - it’s just brilliant. I would go back and do your classes or relaxation over and over. I’d pop them on and just be ‘gone’. It was really great.
So good to get yourself moving, and then on the back of the yoga with the amazing relaxation I’d have the best night’s sleep. It was really good.
For anyone who’s not done yoga before it’s really easy; it’s not twisty arms and legs like you see on TV, and even with a bump it’s manageable and gets you stretching. I had quite a sore back and it really eased that off. I am into fitness and being able to get back into that movement with you is really great because labour is a workout.
Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers - strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.
