Frequently Asked Questions
In this section, you'll find answers to commonly asked questions about hypnobirthing classes and Mama Calma. If your query isn't addressed, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
1. When should I start practising Hypnobirthing?
You can attend The Wise Hippo Birthing Programme classes from 20 to 37 weeks of pregnancy. However, some have successfully used the techniques even when starting at 38 weeks. Timing is a personal choice; earlier allows more time for practice, while later may be suitable for those focused on the impending birth.
2. Does my birth partner need to attend the class? Can I do Hypnobirthing on my own, without a birth partner?
A birth partner's presence is beneficial but not obligatory. They can learn practical tools to support you during birth. If you do not have a birth partner, the course will adapt to help you communicate your birth preferences to care providers.
3. Should I still attend hospital antenatal classes?
My Hypnobirthing courses can complement hospital antenatal classes but is not a direct replacement.
4. Where are the classes held and how do I pay?
Classes are typically held in North and East London, Cambridge, and North Cyprus. Online classes are available via Zoom. Payment for the course is processed via bank transfer. For more information go to: https://www.mamacalma.com/courses
