Episode 42 - Should I do a Hypnobirthing Course?
Today's episode is a short and sweet solo one from me! I get asked a lot what sort of hypnobirthing course to do, when in pregnancy should you do a course and even if a course is necessary. Because I get asked a lot, I figured many of you are probably wondering the same, so I have answered these questions in today's episode.🌸 Resources & Links🤰 Doula Packages – Discover how I can support you throughout pregnancy and birth: The Nurture Nest Doula Services🎓 Hypnobirthing Courses – Learn tools and techniques to feel calm and confident: Explore Courses☕ Say Thanks – If this podcast has helped you, you can buy me a coffee here📚 Claire’s Book Recommendations – My favourite reads for pregnancy and birth: Amazon Book List📖 The Little Book of Positive Birth Stories – Celebrate inspiring birth stories: Get Your Copy Here🎬 Birth Time Documentary – Get 20% off with code CICADA20: Watch Here📸 Instagram – Daily tips, birth stories & inspiration: @the_nurture_nest🛁 Birth Pool Discount – Get 10% off here: Claim Offer⚡ BabyCare TENS Discount – 10% off with code 10NURTURENEST: Shop Here Hosted on Acast.
