Hypnobirthing With Anja

Hi everyone. I have been absent for many months and I wanted to explain what happened to me and why.

In July last year, I got what I thought was Covid and, shortly after, I developed severe bladder pain and pelvic pain which didn't go away.

I thought I had an infection or something physically wrong with me. I had many many tests and nothing conclusive came back. I spent thousands seeing urologists and gynaecologists and taking loads of medications and supplements.

It nearly sent me under because I got so stressed and depressed. I couldn't work or take care of my daughter and I was passing out or having panic attacks daily. My partner ended up breaking up with me in April because he could no longer cope with me being so ill.

I am currently living in the home I grew up in with my step-dad and I see my daughter when I can. I have been extremely sad and upset because I used to do everything with my daughter but my ex is taking good care of her while I get better.

After ruling out infections and physical damage to my bladder and pelvic area, after a lot of soul searching and with help from my sister, we realised that my brain and body were chronically stressed and very dysregulated.

There is a condition called neuro-plastic pain or 'mind body syndrome' which can develop in people who are chronically exhausted, very stressed or have not dealt with traumas. Common conditions associated with this syndrome include bladder/pelvic pain, IBS, Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, chronic back pain, tinnitus and migraines.

I realised that I was highly stressed and anxious and just surviving through the days and weeks. I also realised that I have been carrying a lot of emotional baggage and grief. My mum died of ovarian cancer when my daughter was a baby and she was very ill throughout my pregnancy. I didn't get time to grieve her death because my daughter was so little and I was so busy taking care of her, breastfeeding her and sleep deprived. I just remember thinking "I can't crumble, I have to push through". My dad has also been emotionally abusive throughout my life but I didn't recognise this until recently and he has deeply affected my levels of self-esteem over the years.

Also, in the past few years I was working very hard on Youtube and in my hypnobirthing business but not taking time to rest or look after myself. I was barely sleeping and had developed OCD coping techniques to get through each day.

It is so ironic because I teach people to take care of themselves during pregnancy and motherhood but I wasn't practicing what I preach!

I am on the path to recovery now but it is a process and could take a while. My brain and body have been in fight or flight for many years and I have to rewire my brain to feel safe and to turn off the pain signals. My brain thinks it is protecting me by creating pain but it is operating out of fear and in a hypervigilant and hypersensitive state. My job is to gently calm my nervous system and in time the pain will disappear.

I am seeing a therapist to help me with this and to help me process things from my past.

I am learning a HUGE life lesson at the age of 43 and I wanted to take this opportunity to stress the importance of self-care, rest and self-love.

I will gradually return to Youtube but, for the moment, I will not be able to bring out weekly videos. I will create what I can to continue to support you all through pregnancy and beyond and hope to be back with the weekly videos when I am stronger. I do love what I do and always have. I just need to learn how to create balance in my life which I have not been good at.

Thank you for supporting my channel, it really means the world to me! And I look forward to connecting with you all as I journey back to health and wellness.

With love and best wishes to you all, Anja xxxxx

Hi everyone! Just a quick update from me...

I've got Covid for the 4th time and my vocals chords have taken a bad beating due to the coughing.

Because of this, I won't be able to record any new videos or meditations until my voice has recovered. Noone likes listening to someone croaking 🐸😷

I always try to bring out something new on my channel every week but I'm not sure I'll manage to get anything done next week and possibly the week after but I'll try my best.

Just wanted to apologize in advance! Thanks so much for supporting my channel and I hope you are finding the videos helpful 💕🙏

Love, Anja x
