So today I am chatting 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:56.400 to you about my birth plan and also what I 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:57.840 have been doing. 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.160 For birth preparation. 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.720 So I am currently when I'm recording this, I'm around 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:07.760 thirty four weeks, so we've got about five weeks to 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:11.440 go if she doesn't come early or late, so give 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:17.760 or take. And I have been doing prep probably from 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.639 the twenty week mark, and so I just want to 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.800 chat about, you know, what I've been doing, what the 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.800 process has been like. And I guess the reason why 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:29.760 I want to chat about this is I got told 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:34.279 by my hypno birthing lady and she kind of explained, 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:39.720 you know, birth and labor is like running a marathon. 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.760 And she's like, would you, you know, just enter a 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:47.560 marathon and not bother training or you know, at least 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.960 trying and putting in some pre. 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:52.679 Work for it. 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.560 And I was like, yeah, of course not, and she's 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:59.360 like exactly. So that's why it's really important to be 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:04.200 putting in this time and energy to prepare for birth, 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.920 and especially because I do have intentions to have a 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:13.200 very positive birth. And I don't mean I want a 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:19.080 completely natural, pain free, no issues birth, but I want 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:23.480 a positive experience when birthing my baby girl. So I 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.919 have just been very intentional about that. So to start 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.520 the potty, I want to chat about how I felt previously. 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.560 I probably got to stop saying it. 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:37.080 But I'm not the most maternal person I you guys know, 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:43.880 I'm definitely like career driven and like when I like, 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:48.680 I love my niece and nephew's and like my friend's babies, 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.280 and I definitely think they're cute. But it's not like 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.760 I see a random baby at a shop and I'm like, 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.480 oh my goodness, so cute. 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.120 Like I just don't do that. It's so funny because 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:00.240 one of my first. 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.200 Friends, she is super maternal, and will be like having 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.160 breakfast and we'll be mid convo and she'll be like, 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.240 oh my god, turn around, there's the cutest baby, and 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:12.000 I'm like, don't be rooted and interrupt me. 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.360 Like I don't care. And I know that. 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.240 Sounds horrible, but I know I will love my child. 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:22.000 I'm just like not that maternal, and so I don't know, 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:25.080 I've never really had this kind of spark of I 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.279 want to have a beautiful birth, and to be honest, 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:32.119 never thought about it. And also, like my mum, she's 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:37.359 super maternal and like her experience. She literally says the 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:42.400 words I loved giving birth, And she's said to me 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.160 numerous times if I couldn't have a child, she would 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.000 surrogate for me, Like that's how much she loves being 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:49.800 pregnant and giving birth and baby. 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:50.960 She's super maternal. 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.960 And so I guess like in regards to my stories 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.000 around birth, it's not like I've had any negative ones, 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.760 but I just have never been that into it. And 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.719 I was kind of of the view of, why would 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.000 you bother trying have a natural birth when you can 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:12.280 simply simply get an epidural and not feel any pain 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.760 and have a baby at the end, And why wouldn't 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.680 you do that? So that's kind of how I felt previously. 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.680 I was very set on just getting an EPI not 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.680 really worrying too much about a natural birth and that 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:29.359 situation until I kind of started looking into it a 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:33.920 bit more. So, again, guys, this is my feelings and 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:38.640 my views. I don't want to put, you know, shame 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.680 or anything on anyone if they feel differently like it is, 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.000 so it's your body it's your prerogative, it's your life, 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:51.240 it's your experience. I'm simply explaining my experience. So I 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:56.480 when I guess, I did get pregnant. And also, as 0:05:56.520 --> 0:06:00.000 you guys know me and Tim's trying to conceive, journey 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:01.839 was not easy and. 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:03.599 Was quite long. 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:08.160 So you know, this baby is she's so wanted and 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:12.120 she's just so loved already, and of course every baby is. 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:16.039 But I think I just have a different perspective because 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:20.760 of how much you know our journey, sorry, with trying 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.960 to conceive. And so when I started listening to different 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:29.599 podcasts about positive birth experiences and you know, just different 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:34.280 stuff like that, and I guess just doing my own research, 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.800 and also a lot of this came in with hypno birthing, 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.640 but I kind of found out a lot of things 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:44.200 about you know, when the baby is born through the 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.160 birth canal, it gets a lot of like it's immunity 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:53.160 and things it needs like good bacterias and stuff like that. 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:59.039 And then also if you have an epidural. So don't 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.800 quote me on there, but kind of what we learn 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:06.479 in hypnobirthing is when a woman is giving birth, there's 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:10.800 a lot of these you know, hormones going on and 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:16.640 oxytocin and you know, the love hormone, and basically as 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.680 a woman, we're given these hormones to deal with the 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:25.840 pain and then also to create that connection with your 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.840 baby after so you know, big. 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.760 Thing is like skin to skin. 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.080 And then you put the baby on your chest and 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:37.280 oxytocin is released, and that's what brings in your milk 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:41.360 and also creates that bond and connection with the baby. 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:45.560 And when you're getting an epidural, it I think it's 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:51.240 something like it it stops the blood brain connection and 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:56.360 sometimes those hormones don't release, and so you can struggle 0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:00.320 to have that you know, love hormone and just that 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:04.640 natural experience. And I guess and like, of course, you know, 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:08.280 after breastfeeding you also get the same connection and these 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:12.240 I'm not saying that you know, getting an epiduro is 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.800 bad or anything like that, Like there's a lot of 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.160 other things that go into it. 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.960 But I think for me feeling. 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:23.600 Not maternal and really wanting to have you know, a 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:28.120 really beautiful connection with my baby, I just kind of 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.240 like heard about that and was just like, you know, 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.000 I don't know what's going to happen, but I would 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.040 like to try for a natural birth. And then also 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.960 I know that you know, when you start getting interventions, 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:46.599 it can cascade and it can lead into the next. 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:47.640 One and whatnot. 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:52.680 So I guess, like talking about my birth plan in general, 0:08:54.280 --> 0:09:00.120 like overall, I would love to have a physiological like 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:06.040 non medical birth, natural birth, so you know, less interventions 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:11.000 as possible a natural birth. In saying that, I know, 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:17.080 like I'm so open to anything that could happen, Like 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:22.120 I know, medically, something could happen and I could need something, 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.280 and I'm so okay with that. But the overall intention 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:30.560 about it for me is to have a positive experience. 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:35.600 So you know, even if it like goes to you know, 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.160 her due date and something happens and I do need 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:42.080 an epidural or clamps or you know, all those sorts 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:45.120 of things, I guess I just want to be prepared 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.680 and I want to have a lot of informed knowledge, 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.640 and I want to be able to deal with that 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:57.080 during labor and feel like I was in control just 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:01.360 so there isn't you know, that trauma or kind of 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.839 feeling like I wanted things to go a certain way 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.360 and then they didn't and having a negative outlook. 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:08.880 So very much. 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:12.080 So I would love a natural birth, and you know, 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.559 to do my hypno birthing and the things that I've 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.240 learned that I'm about to talk about. But in saying that, 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.599 it's not so much about I just want it to 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.160 be natural, and that's the only thing. I want it 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.760 to be a positive experience, and that's why I'm using 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:31.880 a lot of these tools to be informed. So if 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:35.040 something does happen and it doesn't go to plan, I 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.800 can feel like I'm still in control. I can feel 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:41.640 like I'm still making decisions for me and baby girl 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:48.760 and feel very confident and positive within that. So that's 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:53.480 the overall kind of gist of what I'm doing. Let's 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.000 talk about the prep and then at the very end, 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.199 I actually have like a piece of paper where I've 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.840 written down my birth plan, so also go into that. 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:05.640 So I first heard about hypno birthing from a girlfriend 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.959 and she had done the hypno birthing I think it's 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:15.959 called like the Positive Birth program herself and just. 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:17.760 Could not oh no, sorry. 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:22.920 So she had had a first birth and it was 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:27.200 quite traumatic. She was not in a good mental spot, 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:31.360 mental space, sorry, And she ended up getting in epidural 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:37.440 and then had to get ape an, a pisiotomy, which 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:41.080 is where they cut you, and needed a vacuum and 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:45.320 all these kind of interventions, and I think she just 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.760 felt very unprepared. She didn't really do too much for 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.560 the birth, so when all this happened, it was a 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.520 bit traumatic for her, and she just felt very like 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:58.880 she didn't have any control or autonomy within her birth 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.640 and it wasn't a great experience. So for her second birth, 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.760 she did hypno birthing, and it's this course which I'll 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.000 explain in a little bit, but she just raved about it. 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.680 And she said even though in her second birth, it's 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.800 not like she did it completely natural. She still used 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.719 gas and you know, various things, but she's like, I 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:25.920 just felt so much more prepared, so much more informed, 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:30.080 and I really felt like it was the most positive, 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:35.800 like best day of your life, like they kind of explain, whereas. 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.720 Her first birth was. 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:41.320 Not, you know, that good, And she really says that 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:45.520 that was all towards hypno birthing. And obviously, you guys know, 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:50.360 like I'm very into my meditation and my breathing and 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.360 that sort of thing, so hypno birthing is very much 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:57.120 up my alley so I looked into hypno birthing and 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:01.320 I decided to do a hypno birthing call with Shari. 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:02.520 On the gram. 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:07.640 She is called Belly to Birth, and I chose her again. 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:09.439 She was recommended by a girlfriend. 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:10.480 She's on the. 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:14.439 Gold Coast where I'm based. I know she does do online, 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.440 so you can do hypno birthing online of course, you know, 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:22.200 with covid and whatnot, they have all those resources. Yeah, 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.480 so she's Goal Coast base. I wanted to do it 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:28.520 in person with her. Reached out to her and she 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.240 is so lovely and she's amazing. I will put all 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:36.000 her details in the description. Her services were gifted to us, 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.840 which was so so lovely, and she has given me 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.480 a code for you guys. But her services were completely 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:47.160 gifted in the way of She's like, did not expect 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.480 anything in return, and was just like, of course, you know, 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.960 if you want to share, I'm happy too, but I 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.800 just know how much you will love this course, and 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:58.040 of course she was right, and yeah, so I will 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.600 put a code in the description which I'm pretty sure 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.200 you can use in person and online with her. And 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.880 I think it's just like Georgie ten for ten percent 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:09.960 off all her services. But basically what I was saying 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:13.920 before Hypno Birthing, it's not about pushing you to just 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:18.840 have a natural birth and that's it. It's really about creating, 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:24.560 giving you all the information, making sure you're fully informed, 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:29.920 and also giving you tools for labor so you don't 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.440 just go in there and you've got no tools in 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:37.120 your tool belts. And I, yeah, I absolutely loved the program. 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.360 I've just got my little book here, so let me 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.000 just chat about some different things. 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:43.520 So in Hypno. 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:48.360 Birthing, they also give you like meditations and like breath 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:53.160 work and things you can do to prepare. And I 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:57.800 honestly think that has been so good for me mentally 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:01.240 because I'm definitely a person and where like I said, 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:05.280 I don't really mind if something was to happen and 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.520 I have to get an EPI or a cesarean like 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:11.600 that wouldn't upset me. But I think what would upset 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:15.360 me and create a not so positive experience is if 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:19.360 I went into birth and labor, you know, for my child, 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:23.200 and I had done no preparation. I hadn't been informed, 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.760 I didn't know my options, I didn't really understand watch 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:31.240 you know what each intervention meant and stuff like that. 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.600 So in the course, they. 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.360 Yeah, they tell you everything. They give you a lot 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:38.200 of information. 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:43.040 And then my favorite part is the tool. So we 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:50.680 go into doing stuff like self hypnosis, hypnosis tracks and 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:54.360 so these are tracks to really help you basically get 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.760 in the zone when you're in labor and when you're 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.200 in quite a bit of pain. And it's funny because 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:05.760 now that I've finished the course, much like everything in life, 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.800 like I think birth and labor is going to be 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:09.800 a mental game. 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:11.880 And it's kind of like, you know. 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:16.080 It's your perspective, it's your the way you see things, 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.920 the way you go about things. And I think you know, 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.120 for example, if you're not if your head's not in 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.920 the game, you're not feeling prepared, you're not feeling positive. 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:31.880 You can imagine how you know, the pain of contractions 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.040 or surges they like to call them in your hypno 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.920 birth thing could really just like you could not cope 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.880 with them. It's like, you know, when you do a workout, 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:41.880 think about this. 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.400 You know, when you do a workout and you've got 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:46.160 those days where you're just like. 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:50.480 You're on you're feeling good, you're feeling powerful, You've had. 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:51.040 A good sleep. 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.680 You know, you've got energy, and you smash that workout 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:59.320 and you feel like limitless, Like you just feel so 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:03.200 good compared to another day where you might not have 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:05.320 a lot of sleep, you might not be in the 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.080 best mood, maybe your boss said something to you, like 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.560 you're not in a good mood. You try to work out, 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.320 you just don't feel strong, and it's shit, and you're 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:14.359 just like, I'm going home. 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:16.720 And so I kind. 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:20.399 Of, of course, like it's so funny because the hit 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:23.000 Shari kind of said to me the whole what I 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.679 said at the start about birth is birth and labor 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:30.400 is a marathon. And of course you wouldn't just enter 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:34.399 a marathon without preparing for it. You would train and 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:38.240 you would practice, and yeah, you would prepare for it. 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.040 And it's so funny because once she said that, it's 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.760 like I had this mental shift and I was like, 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:45.440 oh my God. 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:45.800 Of course. 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:49.359 And it's like anything we do, like before I started 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:52.760 Naked Harvest or any of my businesses, I listened to 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.439 all the podcasts, I did courses, I hired a coach, 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:00.800 you know, like I was doing the preparation, you know, 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.800 the exact same thing with working out, Like the exact 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:08.119 same thing. With any challenge in your life. You don't 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.320 just go oh, I'll see what happens. You prepare as 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:15.800 much as possible. And obviously you know you can't fully 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.520 fully prepare because you don't know what it's like. I 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.160 have no idea how I'm going to go with contractions 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:25.800 or surges, but having tools and having a toolkit is 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:26.480 so important. 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:30.240 Okay, r n C. 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.760 Fam, We're taking a quick break and I want to 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:37.840 ask you, guys, are you getting your daily recommended intake 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:45.560 of three fruits and five veggies? No? Sometimes maybe I 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:46.640 feel you on this. 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:47.359 Wow. 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:50.160 So, in a perfect world. 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:53.960 We are getting all our vitamin minerals and needs from 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:59.040 our food directly. But because we live such hectic lives 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:03.920 and our soil is often lacking from so much farming done, 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:08.640 that doesn't always happen. And that's why supplements are so popular, 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.480 and that's why Naked Harvest was born just to be 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:15.520 very transparent with you.

That is very 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:05.800 vanilla and mango magic. I recommend getting very vanilla if 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:08.720 you just want to add it to your smoothies, but 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:11.439 if you do want to have it by itself, Mango 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:16.199 magic is so delicious and so flavorsome.

Okay, enough about Gorgeous Greens. 0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:29.919 Let's get back into the show. So other things that 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:33.920 she taught and also probably the best part about hypnobirthing 0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:39.080 is Tim did it with me, and much like probably 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:43.359 a lot of other partners, Tim had no idea. He 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:46.560 had no idea about interventions, He had no idea about 0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:49.840 what you know, it's like for me, for the baby, 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:55.080 anything like that. And I think him getting informed was 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:58.520 and like knowing what to expect was so helpful. And 0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:03.719 then more than that, hypno birthing teaches the partners a 0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:06.760 lot of techniques they can use to help. 0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:09.159 And he kind of explained. 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:10.959 How he felt after he's like, I really loved it 0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:14.800 because you know, when we were talking about birth or labor, 0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:17.600 I kind of had no idea. I didn't know how 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:20.840 he could help you, and I didn't feel very involved 0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:24.600 in the experience, which you guys knowed him is like 0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:27.240 he's born to be a dad. Like he's just he's 0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:31.600 so obsessed with this little girl already and he loves 0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:33.479 that sort of thing, and he really wants to be 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:38.639 like involved in the experience. So with hypno birthing, like 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:41.880 he has all these tools he knows, like we've been 0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:48.120 doing meditations together where he's like doing certain massage points 0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:52.120 and acupuncture points and knows the positions. And I think 0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:55.560 that's also going to be super helpful because a lot 0:22:55.600 --> 0:23:01.120 of women explain birth and labor kind of like you're 0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:06.800 in this trance and you really struggle to communicate or 0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:09.760 talk to people because you're just so in your own 0:23:10.000 --> 0:23:14.639 mind and your own little land, like dealing with what's 0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:18.120 going on in your body. So to have your partner 0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:23.040 fully informed for him or her to know what you want, 0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:27.240 like what you both want, to know your birth preferences, 0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:31.000 and also to be able to advocate for you, I 0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:35.359 think is so important and has both made us just 0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:40.600 feel really empowered. And so yeah, that's definitely something that 0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:43.479 has been so helpful with the hypno birth in course. 0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:47.840 And yeah, so Tim knows you know, acupressure and certain 0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:53.160 positions and massage, and he's done you know, the meditations 0:23:53.200 --> 0:23:56.560 with me. He knows the affirmations and that sort of thing, 0:23:56.600 --> 0:23:59.639 and it's just, yeah, it's been a really lovely experience 0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:03.640 even for us to bond and oh my god, God. 0:24:04.240 --> 0:24:07.199 So we've done a couple of meditations where you know, 0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:10.560 we sit there, we listen to this guided meditation and 0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:14.400 he's doing soft touch on my back and also anchor massage, 0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:17.359 and you know, the words of the meditation are like, 0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:21.080 you know, visualize your baby. Hear what it's going to 0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:24.760 be like the first touch, And me and Tim will 0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:28.040 both come out of those meditations like teary eyed. 0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:29.480 Like Tim's like. 0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:32.640 Because you know, you're imagining it. And I think there's 0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:38.360 a lot to do with imaginary things and visualizing things 0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:42.280 before they happen to manifest them. So that's like, you know, 0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:46.120 when I teach you guys manifesting, and I'm saying, visualize 0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:49.760 what it will be like to have that thing what's 0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:53.000 the feeling, you know, and then you can attract that 0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:56.520
