Choosing the Right Midwife for Your Hypnobirthing Journey
If you’re planning a calm, connected, and empowered birth using Hypnobirthing or other natural approaches, it’s important to find a midwife who truly understands and supports your vision.
Here are some gentle yet powerful questions to ask when meeting with a potential midwife:
-What are your thoughts on Hypnobirthing and natural birthing techniques?
-How do you support women who prefer to birth without medical interventions where possible?
-Are you comfortable with me using breathing techniques, affirmations, visualisations and birth music?
-Do you allow for freedom of movement during labour?
-How do you help protect a calm birthing environment (e.g., lighting, voices, interruptions)?
-What are your views on delayed cord clamping and undisturbed bonding time?
-Can I create my own birth preferences, and will you support them?
Remember, your birth, your body, your choice.
The right midwife will not only respect your wishes—they’ll honour and uplift them.
