Pregnancy can often be a rather trying time, particularly when things don’t go the way you imagined it to. Fortunately, there’s a rather simple and natural way to help you beat those blues

Pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding are all passages of life that helps a couple’s world grow into a family. Sometimes, events unfold in a different way than they have hoped and planned. These events include intense hormonal changes leading to Hyperemesis (severe morning sickness), pregnancy-induced diabetes, thyroidism, bed rest, or even severe undesirable medical interventions such as an unsupported virginal birth, the use of an epidural, birth by vacuum, forceps or cesarean.

The impacts of these interventions are far reaching, and can result in postpartum depression, infections, hemorrhage, pain and trauma or emotional stress and anxiety due to unnatural separation from your baby, lack of normal bonding as well as breastfeeding issues.

Most of these experiences are somehow considered the normal inconveniences of birthing a baby. However, most families affected by the ripple effect of these events are left with little coping support around them and are often are not well-recognised or acknowledged by a conventional medical health care system.

Fortunately, there is an extremely gentle therapy, Craniosacral Biodynamic Therapy, which can help release this physical and emotional strain and trauma surrounding a difficult pregnancy, labour, birth and breastfeeding, making the experience more supported and as joyful as it’s meant to be.
