Anita wanted a first-hand account from a midwife trained in water-based fitness and her experiences of delivering aquanatal classes to pregnant women.

Life since their birth has not been easy and postnatal depression has blighted our relationship. So, too, has it affected the relationship I have with friends, family, my husband, myself. My reasons for becoming a student midwife were numerous, but my experiences as a pregnant woman and a new mother were pivotal in that decision. Whilst screening tools are commended to detect postnatal depression, depression does not fit a scoring system neatly, and is experienced differently by everyone. In addition, women suffering may falsify results (I did) and may not consent to use of the tools. Women's subjective experience of pregnancy, birth and motherhood is crucial, and PND needs to be spoken about in the antenatal period in order to overcome the associated stigma and to encourage women's self-efficacy in reporting symptoms.</p>","PeriodicalId":35678,"journal":{"name":"Practising Midwife","volume":" ","pages":"18-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36753909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Women are often fearful of the experience of labour and birth, and in particular express concern about pain and its management; the literature shows that fear of childbearing is associated with increased pain (Leeman et al 2003). Although there are many pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to managing the pain of labour, these depend on availability, women's preferences, and on the woman's perception of their efficacy. This literature review focuses on the use of hypnosis, including complex programmes of antenatal preparation known as hypnobirthing, as a means of coping with the experience of labour and birth. A key word search of the literature was carried out to identify published research and literature on this topic.
