Choosing your birth colour
In our Hypnobirthing Australia classes, we encourage mothers to choose an anchor ‘colour’ for deep relaxation. Some mothers choose one whilst listening to their hypnobirthing albums and some find that they have already been attracted to a particular colour throughout their pregnancy.
