It seems that all the pregnant celebs are clued up on hypnobirthing lately - first we had the birth of Buzz Fletcher in mid-March, by his fabulous advocate for hypnobirthing mum, Giovanna, and dad, Tom.
Since then, Billie Faiers of TOWIE (The Only Way Is Essex) and now Erin Boag (Strictly Come Dancing professional) have confirmed that they too, will be hypnobirthing their babies.
So, if it's good enough for the celebs, then surely, it's good enough for non-celeb mums?!
Let's hope that this celeb movement helps all mums realise that birth can be a positive experience, something that is normal and natural, and can be achieved with the power of hypnobirthing technqiues and programmes like The Wise Hippo Birthing Programme.
A powerful shift of viewpoint is required in society with regards to birth, to help women realise that the "norm" doesn't have to be the sensationalised stories we see in films and in particular, television programmes like One Born Every Minute, who use women's fear and pain to sell advertising and increase viewer figures through voyeurism, and the stroytelling state of trance.
Positive stories don't sell anywhere near as many seats in the cinema or advertising slots! But they do help to support women who want to make the choice to hypnobirth and support their decision to do so, through positive affirmation and demostration that is it, indeed, possible.
Let's hope even more celebs choose to hypnobirth and raise its profile, so we can all achieve a positive birth experience in the years to come.
