Mellow Births Hypnobirthing

Hello September 🍂🧡

And just like that… we’re entering the 'ber months again!

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE this time of year. Give me chilly mornings, cosy jumpers, boots, candles, hot chocolates and all the autumn goodness. Add in Strictly Come Dancing, Halloween, Bonfire Night, Carnival and then the countdown to Christmas… honestly, my fave!

I’ve still been a little quiet around here lately. Summer has been full of family time, making the most of having the kids off with me and soaking up these moments before it's back to school runs.

So if you’re expecting a baby, thinking about hypnobirthing or just want more information please get in touch as I do have limited availability for the remainder of this year.

Here’s to a cosy, happy September and the beginning of my favourite few months of the year. 🍂✨

Love A x

Hello you lovely lot👋🏻

My lovely cabin has had a refresh✨

I've had a little shift around and ordered new furniture to make it more comfortable for my hypnobirthing parents.

Creating a warm, calm and cosy space for my clients is so important to me. I can't wait to welcome more parents to be through the door this year and beyond 💙

☀️ Heatwave Tips ☀️

Growing a baby in hot weather can feel exhausting, so here are a few gentle reminders for anyone who needs it

💧 Stay hydrated – sipping water little and often throughout the day
🧊 Keep cool with a fan, cool flannel or your feet in cold water
👗 Wear loose, breathable clothing
🌿 Rest when you need to – your body is already working incredibly hard
🍉 Eat light, refreshing foods such as fruits and salad
🚶‍♀️ Avoid being out in the hottest part of the day where possible
🛁 Take lukewarm showers or baths to cool your body temperature
🤍 Listen to your body – dizziness, headaches or feeling faint are signs to slow down and cool off

And remember… this heat won’t last forever!

Please see your midwife or GP if anything feels out of the ordinary for you 🙌🏻

Wonderful news 🎉

13/04/2026

Everyone celebrating the return of “One Born Every Minute”… but honestly? That’s not great news for people preparing for birth in my opinion.

It’s reality TV, it's absolutely not a birth education.

Every episode is edited to show the most dramatic moments, the panic, the emergencies, the rushing around and it's been normalised...
And why? Because calm, straightforward births don’t make good television.

But when this is the main way people see birth, it creates a huge problem.

It teaches women that birth is something to fear, that it's inherently dangerous and a medical process. It's not.
When we watch this, our brain takes those images in, and when we go into labour, our brains expect danger, stress and therefore our hormones rise, which can actually make labour longer and harder.

Birth works best when you feel safe, calm and supported, not when you’re waiting for something to go wrong like the next episode.

So no… the return of this show isn’t exactly helping the next generation prepare for birth, and I don't recommend it in the slightest.

If you’re preparing for birth, protect your mindset.
Watch birth stories that build confidence, not ones made for ratings.
