OMG OMG OMG I’m pregnant and what comes next??? It’s a little bit of
EVERYTHING and that’s ok! Here are some of the most common things that
women feel / think when they first find out they’re, omg, pregnant!! I’d
love to hear yours too! Email sophia@sophiahanson.com or come share on
Facebook.
Imagine a super calm birth that includes flapjack bites, cartoon alpacas,
padding about the hospital carpark in your socks and stopping for long,
chilled out hugs much to the concern of passersby. Meet Bryony. I love her
birth story, hope you do too! xx
Baby Reflux - it’s a phrase that I see casually flung around like ‘oh he’s
just got a bit of reflux’ try x y z.
This scattergun approach doesn’t help and leaves your baby unsettled, in
discomfort, and can have longer lasting health implications.
What’s more the type of birth experience you have CAN be part of the baby
reflux jigsaw. The more calm and relaxed the better - another reason I’m so
passionate about helping you have the best birth possible!!
Determined to get some facts about it from an expert who KNOWS I turned to
Aine Homer, The Baby Reflux Lady. You need to listen to this NOW!
You can download the baby reflux symptoms tracker HERE.

Chloe had been labouring at home for two days but with meconium evident in her waters and a lull in labour she took the decision to transfer to hospital.
Do you feel like you’re winging it as a first time mum? Most new parents
tell me they can’t believe the hospital staff let them leave with their
newborn ‘how are they supposed to know what to do?” Truth is, everyone
feels the same and you will find your way. First time mum Chloe shares a
few pearls (and tears) of her wisdom. Big love, Sophia 💕
Is a long, drawn out labour easier than a rapid one? Or are they just
different? Meet second time mum Wendy, a graduate of The Prenatal Snug
(online sanctuary for pregnant women).
Her births couldn’t have been more different.
Find out why.
Big love, Sophia 💕

What will your partner think about hypnobirthing? Will it make or break
your relationship? Will they think it’s weird, you’re weird? Or will they
surprise you in the best possible way. Here’s what Bryony has to share. xx
First time mum Lucy and her husband Martin attended my four week birth
preparation course (hypnobirthing and antenatal education). Here they
discuss how it helped them create a strong family bond, cope with
anxieties, and shape their minds to the positive.
Midwife Romilly and her husband Richard took park in my four week
hypnobirthing and antenatal education course (The Wise Hippo). Here Romilly
explains what she got out of the sessions, and why it was a huge support
for her even though she brings babies into the world every other day.

Traditional hypnobirthing might conjure up scenes of flower power, incense sticks, new age music, daisy chains, chanting, and I imagine, a fair amount of vagina whispering to coax your baby into the world.
Today hypnobirthing means different things to different people so if you’re looking to increase your chances of a calm, confident and comfortable birth, have a listen!
