It is recommended that you start anytime after 20 weeks. Most Mums take up the course at around 30 weeks. Starting the course closer to 20weeks means that you will have plenty of time to integrate all the information and practise. However, some women prefer to start the course closer to 30 weeks so that the information is fresher in their minds. Will I have to practise at home? Yes, practise is very important. The more practise you do, the more confidant you become. The aim is for the techniques to become second nature to you. Why have a Birth Companion? Your birth companion plays an important roll in supporting you throughout the birth. It is preferable that they come to all the Hypnobirthing classes so that they become adept in the tools and techniques that you will learn.
