Not at all. Many mothers have joined the programme late in pregnancy and still experienced excellent outcomes, including smooth births and energetic recoveries. The key to success is full commitment:

Eliminate wheat and refined sugar from your diet

Listen to the Jeyarani Way audio once or twice daily

Practice 20 minutes of yoga tailored for pregnancy each day
Starting late can still be transformative if approached wholeheartedly.

While every part is designed to work holistically, these are the three most important components:

Nutritional Discipline – Follow our guidelines strictly (see the GBM Recipe Book)

Daily Movement – Do at least 20 minutes of GBM yoga or gentle movement

Audio Support – Use "The Jeyarani Way: Prepare for a Natural Birth with Self-Hypnosis & Visualisation" by Dr Gowri Motha daily for mental preparation

Yes. The programme includes natural solutions to help with common pregnancy discomforts:

Ginger Tea – Recipe available in the Gentle Birth Method Book

Homeopathy – Try Nux Vomica 30c, 3x daily for 3 days

Creative Healing (CH) – Gentle massage therapy to ease nausea, restore energy

Reflexology – Effective when practised safely (avoid uterine zones in first trimester)

These therapies are also helpful for heartburn, swollen ankles, varicose veins, and high blood pressure.

Fear is normal, but GBM offers proven tools to help you build confidence and resilience:

Self-Hypnosis & Visualisation Audio – Daily listening helps rewire your birth expectations and reduce fear

1-to-1 Hypnotherapy – Recommended for persistent anxiety

Understanding Options – Knowing that options like an epidural are available can reduce anxiety, even if you plan for a natural birth

Mental barriers that increase pain:

Fear and tension

Negative birth memories

Lack of preparation

Physical barriers to smooth birth and their remedies:

Pelvic Inlet Tightness → Encouraged early head engagement

Midcavity Pressure → Pelvic drainage via reflexology and yoga

Cervical Swelling → Dietary detox and circulation support

Perineal Resistance → Use of GBM pelvic oils and stretching breathwork

Yes. Here’s why:

Wheat – Associated with longer, more difficult labours. Eliminating it supports better birth outcomes.

Sugar – Fuels free radical damage, leading to inflammation and tighter muscles, especially in the pelvis.

Herbs – Aid in detoxification, support elasticity, and help maintain a supple birthing space. These are included in our GBM herbal protocols.

Case study: Roslyn, a mother of five, experienced severe nausea and fatigue. By adopting the GBM diet and receiving reflexology, her symptoms eased significantly within a week, and even her baby’s colic improved postpartum when she stayed on the diet.

Yes. We recommend a 36-hour rotation of specific exercises, based on midwifery practices in Mexico, with high success rates:

✅ Routine:

Repeat every 2 hours for 20 minutes. Consistency is essential.

You may sleep overnight but must resume exercises as soon as you wake.

🧎 Exercises:

Crawling on hands and knees (wear gloves or use mats to protect joints)

Knee-Chest Position – Head and arms resting on the floor, hips elevated

Pelvic Elevation – Use pillows or stairs to keep hips above the head

These exercises disorient the baby’s position, encouraging a natural turn into cephalic (head-down) position.

Yes, even the fittest bodies benefit from targeted birth preparation:

Switch from gym machines (like steppers and cross-trainers) to gentler forms like swimming, walking, and GBM yoga. Machines can over-tighten pelvic muscles, making pushing more difficult.

Use the GBM visualisation audio, similar to how athletes mentally rehearse before events, to prepare your body and mind for birth.
