Hypnobirthing is a complete antenatal and relaxation programme for women and birth partners, (although women may choose to attend alone). It covers labour and birth preparation. It is a philosophy and technique, which is science based. If practiced regularly, it aims to induce deep relaxation (self hypnosis). This encourages the mother to access her instincts and intuitive behaviour during labour and birth – how nature intended!
Don’t be put off by the “hypno” part of the word. Hypnosis is an induced state of relaxation in which a person is in an altered state of consciousness. It is only deep relaxation really. If you think of a time where you were daydreaming, maybe whilst driving or staring out of a window, or whilst being engrossed in a good book, well, hypnosis is just like that. It is nothing to be afraid of and YOU are always in control and will never do anything against your own free will.
By using breathing techniques, positive visualisations, positive language, using images and/or pictures together with positive affirmations, the mother can become empowered to birth her baby in a more relaxed manner. This happens during a deeply relaxed state or state of self hypnosis. The result is that birthing muscles work as they are meant to in this physiological process. Rates of analgesia and intervention are very often reduced, with increased maternal satisfaction. Wherever or however you give birth, Hypnobirthing can benefit mother,baby and birth partner.
