The HypnoBirthing® Experience

 

What you will experience

When you have your baby with HypnoBirthing®, you will not be in a trance or a sleep. What you will experience is similar to the daydreaming or focusing that occurs when you are engrossed in a book or a movie. You will be conversant and in good spirits--totally relaxed, but fully in control. Awake throughout, you will be aware of your body's surges; but because you will have trained yourself to reach complete relaxation, you will be able to determine the degree to which you will feel the surges. You'll always be aware of what is happening to you, and around you. You will experience birthing in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free of the fear and tension that prevents the muscles of your body from functioning as nature intended them to. In this calm state your body's natural anesthesia, endorphins, replaces the stress hormones that constrict and cause pain.

 

HypnoBirthing® lets you discover and experience the joy and magic of birth - rather than the horrific ordeal that you see in the mass media. Most importantly, you'll learn how to put yourself back in control of your birth. 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.

 

Why is HypnoBirthing so good?

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 all

  • How to reduce your risk of needing an episiotomy during birth with a stunningly simple massage technique

  • How 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 charge

  • How to release any fears you might have about childbirth...regardless of where they come from

  • How 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

 

What you'll learn through HypnoBirthing® is how you can confidently approach a safe, easier and more comfortable natural birth.

 

We can't promise you a 'perfect' birth - no one can - but we can promise you a much, much more comfortable and relaxed birth than you would have had otherwise.

 

Does it help the baby too?

Yes. We find that babies born using HypnoBirthing® tend to be calmer, feed better, sleep better and experience less trauma, because they are gently and calmly breathed into the world at their own pace.

 

 

Finally - something useful for the dad to do!

 

 

Instead of your husband or partner being a helpless onlooker, they become a central part of the birthing process, helping you to stay calm and focused on the techniques you've been taught.

As a result, the fathers feel proud to have been able to help, and to be an active part of the birth.

 

Imagine how close that makes them feel to you and the baby!
