HypnoBirthing Advantages

For most of their lives, women have been inundated with the negative stories of other women’s birth experiences. Everyone, from their mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, friends, and even strangers, wants to tell them the horrors of giving birth. They have been conditioned to believe that excruciating pain is associated with birth; & women today hold an unprecedented fear of giving birth. This extreme fear causes their bodies to become tense, which prevents them from easily performing the normal, physiological function of birth. The result?—exactly what they feared most--long, painful, disappointing birthing.


People who are drawn to HypnoBirthing have long been searching for a way that helps women give birth as calmly, safely, and gently as possible. Until HypnoBirthing® was founded, it seemed almost unattainable.


Through a very simple program of self-hypnosis and education, women learn to release emotions tied to fear-based stories and misinformation, and they are helped to see birth as normal. They learn to trust that their bodies know how to bring their babies into the world in the calm and gentle way that Nature intended.


Hypnobirthing® has many advantages including the following:

* Teaches deep levels of relaxation to eliminate the fear that causes tension and, thus, pain

* Greatly reduces and often eliminates the need for chemical painkillers and drugs

* Shortens the first phase of labor & leaves mother alert, fresh, awake and with energy

* Helps keep oxygen supplied to baby during birthing

* Reduces the need for an episiotomy

* Reduces and often eliminates fatigue during labor

* Empowers parents with techniques to achieve a gentle, calm birth for themselves and their baby

* Gives the birthing companion an integral role in the birthing

* Embraces the concept of pre-birth parenting

* Teaches breathing techniques that allow a woman to gently breathe her baby into the world without the violence of hard, physical pushing.
