Hypnobirthing HypnoBirthing® is a complete birth education programme that teaches simple but specific self hypnosis, relaxation and breathing techniques for a better birth. HypnoBirthing® is much more than just self hypnosis or hypnotherapy for childbirth. With HypnoBirthing®, you'll discover that severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labour. You'll learn how to release the fears and anxieties you may currently have about giving birth, and how to overcome previous traumatic births
HypnoBirthing® lets you discover and experience the joy and magic of birth - rather than the horrific ordeal everyone else seems hell-bent on telling you about.
Most importantly, you'll learn how to put yourself back in control of your birth - rather than blindly turning your birthing experience over to your doctor or midwife. HypnoBirthing® doesn't mean you'll be in a trance or a sleep. Rather, you'll be able to chat, and be and in good spirits - totally relaxed, but fully in control. You'll always be aware of what is happening to you, and around you.
HypnoBirthing® doesn't require any particular belief system, or prior experience. Some of our mums (and especially their husbands!) have been very sceptical at first - until they experience it for themselves. In fact, the more sceptical they are to start with, the more evangelical they are when they discover the power of HypnoBirthing®. Just imagine welcoming each surge! Feeling peaceful... relaxing... and even smiling as your baby comes closer to you!
In short, HypnoBirthing® allows you to experience birth in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free of the fear and tension that prevents the birthing muscles of your body from functioning as Nature intended them to.
Here are some of the things you'll learn that are not covered in most antenatal classes.Breathing techniques that actually help the birth (and it's not the panting that most people think they have to do. Think about it - why would anyone want to hyperventilate during labour?)How to massively reduce the need for any medication at allHow to reduce your risk of needing an episiotomy during birth with a stunningly simple massage techniqueHow to be confident and informed when dealing with the medical staff - when to question, what to ask...and when it's time to let them take chargeHow to release any fears you might have about childbirth...regardless of where they come fromHow to bring about your own easy start of labour with these simple, natural techniques, if you go beyond your "estimated due date"Most importantly, you'll know how to relax and stay calm and in control - regardless of what's happening around you HypnoBirthing® is designed as a structured but informal class format that teaches about the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of birth. You'll learn why your body does what it does, as well as how. |
