Hi,


Does anyone have any recommendations for a hypnobirthing practitioner for the second time around? I did a course before my first, but the lady who ran the course has since moved away from London.


I had a bad experience the first time around - labour was going beautifully up until the point where I entered an actual labour room and had a rubbish midwife, and from there it all then went wrong. So really all I'm after is a bit of reassurance that it'll be better this time around, and to get a refresher on techniques, rather than doing the course all over again.


Many thanks in advance!

Hi Mooncake,


Congratulations on your pregnancy! I think we used the same hypnobirthing practitioner first time around. I'm due my second any day now and did a few refresher sessions with Christine Neillands her details are on her website http://www.bouncebackhypnosis.com


She's absolutely lovely and would highly recommend her. She provides you with new hypnobirthing recordings to listen to at home, which I've been listening to daily.


Good luck with your birth this time around.

I used a hypnobirthing apo which I found helpful on the day, didn't do the classes (or read the books) but found the mum's stories in Ina May's book a big help plus you tube videos!



It was this one.

Definitely call Christine, she is absolutely amazing. I had a traumatic first birth, problematic second and majority of my third pregnancy was spent at risk of losing the baby. Christine helped me enormously - she helped me stay calm during the pregnancy and the birth. I listened to her tapes thoroughout induced labour and stuck my earphones in whenever it got stressful those first few days in hospital. I then visited her for months afterwards. Friends have seen her since and they all sing her praises. Good luck!

or Holly who is a local Mum and runs her extremely popular classes here in East Dulwich. She can be found on this forum by searching londonhypnobirthing, and is a delight. I would highly recommend her. She has helped many, many local women have better, more relaxed labours and births (the plus side is that if you do a group session with her you will get to meet other local Mums in her classes).


Additionally I was reading research recently that suggests Hypnobirthing can reduce the risks of suffering postnatal depression in Mums who are at risk (previous incidence, family or personal history of depression etc.etc.). The more I read about it the more useful a tool for birthing women Hypnobirthing seems. :D

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
