HypnoBirthing – Groovy Babies

Can you afford to NOT do HypnoBirthing Classes?

November 21, 2018/0 Comments/in Blog /by Amanda Bude

Over the last few weeks I have had a few inquires from expectant new mums about doing my HypnoBirthing classes. The conversation ended with oh.. I am not sure we can afford to do classes.

Knowing what I know about our maternity system I’m not sure you can’t afford to do HypnoBirthing classes!

So let’s break this down.. HB classes are NOT just about preparing you for the physical, logistics of birthing a baby. That is what run of the mill normal childbirth classes do. That is why they are held over one day or split into a weekend course.

If these classes were so fantastic about birth preparation then we wouldn’t have these current Australian statistics:

1:3 babies are born via caeseran section now.

1:4 labours are via induction.

1:3 woman describe their birth as traumatic.

1:4 woman suffer some kind of major physical trauma with birth.

1:7 woman are now diagnosed with post natal depression.

1:10 dads are now diagnosed with post natal depression.

The number ONE cause of perinatal morbidity is SUICIDE…

WTF is going on……

we also know that babies are conscious beings before birth… they are aware of their environment in the womb.. they are marinating in the hormones of their mothers. So preparation for celebrating their birthday matters!

Here is the most recent WHO recommendations on reducing non medical interventions and unnecessary procedures. Number one recommendation is education programs that teach preventiong programs on prevention of fear and anxiety!

The birth education is much more than just the birth of a baby… it is about a WHOLE experience and journey through conception, labour and birth and the post natal experience. We are talking about a 10 month journey.

Preparing for the birth of your baby deserves the research, the education just like you would planning for a physical event, a holiday and a wedding! Certainly more than walking around a parenting expo and test driving a pram!

[ARTICLE] “Push For More Empowering Language During Childbirth- The Courier Mail 28th February 2018

March 26, 2018/0 Comments/in Media /by Amanda Bude

QUEENSLAND midwives have called time on medics using condescending and frightening language during childbirth.

Maternity advocates say there is no place in today’s society for using the words “my woman”, or “good girl” or “failure to progress”.

Contractions should be described as “strong” not “painful” and a “big baby” should be called a “healthy baby”.

All language must be empowering and uplifting for the mother.

Gold Coast midwife Amanda Bude told The Courier-Mail language surrounding birth needed an overhaul with all care providers.

“A successful birth outcome starts when a woman is respected,” she said.

“Just look at birth trauma rates – one third of women describe their birth as traumatic.”

Amanda Bude- Member of The Australian HypnoBirthing Steering Committee.

The Mongan Method of HypnoBirthing® is the longest running community dedicated to using hypnosis in childbirth. It was founded in the United States in early 1989 by Marie “Mickey” Mongan, who is a licensed counselor and former dean of a small women’s college. The Mongan Method of HypnoBirthing® is the pioneer and leader in birth education with hypnosis.

Several decades and thousands of classes later, HypnoBirthing® is the most widely used childbirth hypnosis program in the world. Today, there are HypnoBirthing® practitioners in 46 countries around the world who are helping women become aware of the benefits of calm, instinctive birthing for themselves and their babies.

Australian families have been supported in their birth choice for over 14 years. HypnoBirthing® has spread nationwide catching the interest of other professionals all impressed by the birth experiences they were hearing and witnessing with HypnoBirthing® – the Mongan Method.

HypnoBirthing is now recognised throughout Australia as the Gold Standard of Childbirth Education, and has been implemented into public and private hospital antenatal education programmes due to its credibility and ongoing research success. Often as the only education program offered.

The HypnoBirthing® Institute has appointed an experienced and professional team to lead Australia and to ensure that families and practitioners have the most relevant education and support. This team is called the Australian Steering Committee. I am so very proud to be a part of the Australian Steering Committee and to continue teaching this childbirth education to families, Australia wide.
