When people hear about hypnosis for birth the last thing I want them to be thinking about is probably the first scene that comes to mind… a stage of “sleeping” individuals who are asked to speak alien, act like chickens or behave in an all too often cringe-worthy fashion. No. No. No. This scene is hypnosis for entertainment. I want to take a big fat eraser and wipe out that scene and paint one of mind-body connection… wellness… clarity and balance. Hypnosis is about suggest

What am I setting aside for nutritional support as I prepare for my second birth? I know from experience that I may not be up for eating much during labor. This puts great emphasis on foods and beverages that provide optimal nutritional support. I have a personal stash of coconut water on hand, as well as a package of bendy straws for ease in getting it down. (I say "personal" because your birth team may appreciate some nutritional support, too!) Coconut water is great becau
