I could really help.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When my wife first told me that she was interested in Hypnobirthing my first reaction was, \u201cWhy do we need to do that? It sounds a bit silly,\u201d and really not for me. We had had children before and not needed this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After agreeing to it and listening to my wife explain in a bit more detail why she wanted to take part in the course, I understood it more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we met Nancy for the first time she could not have been more friendly and certainly put any doubts I had to bed, and I really got engrossed in the course itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Straight away I could see the benefits that it was going to have for our labour and pregnancy. My wife and I worked at these, and I can honestly say that the techniques we learnt really made my wife relax more and definitely feel more in control of the labour itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a man who has had a baby before, this time I felt a lot more useful and I could really help my wife get into her hypno bubble using all the techniques that I had learnt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The labour went smoothly, and my wife was very much in control of the situation. I felt like I had contributed well and really helped in the whole labour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For anyone that is, like me, a bit sceptical then PLEASE get over those first initial thoughts and enrol in the course. Nancy is a fantastic teacher and I can&#8217;t recommend her enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This time I felt genuinely useful.
