How can Hypnotherapy help you during Pregnancy
Pregnancy will undoubtedly be one of the most special periods of your life, your baby will grow in close relation with your feelings and your general state of being. It is very natural to find yourself more emotional, with more fears and worries during pregnancy. Worrying is part of motherhood, and it is also thanks to emotions such as fear that we as a species were able to thrive, because our ancient mothers made sure we were kept safe. However it's important to observe if these stress levels are overpowering or causing you pain and holding you back from having a healthy and enjoyable pregnancy, it might be good so seek help.
We know that cortisol can have a very negative influence during the pregnancy constricting blood vessels leading to poorer blood supply to the baby and affecting both the baby growth and even the shape of their brain development.

If you feel like you might be experiencing stress or anxiety this is a good time to come for a Hypnotherapy session, this technique will help you develop inner resources, relax and find peace as well as promote a healthy and strong bond with your baby.

When things don't go the expected way:
Luckily most pregnancies end with the parents meeting their healthy baby, unfortunately there are cases in which this is not how the process ends, we know now that It isn’t possible to become pregnant after a miscarriage if there’s any kind of placenta retention from the previous pregnancy, and this is just as true for the emotional aspect of this loss. If there is still a strong sadness and grieve from a previous story there isn’t emotional space for a healthy happy pregnancy to take place.
When the grieving process doesn’t happen properly all of the anxiety and negativity will be carried into the next pregnancy making every check-up a source of overpowering anxiety and every little sign a reason to worry. If you can related to this, i am here for you and i am here to help you. Hypnotherapy can help you with the natural grieving process so that emotional and mental space can be created for a healthy pregnancy afterwards, and a sense of thrust and positivity can be restored.
When we can no longer change a situation we are forced to change ourselves.
