HypnoBirthing is based on the
belief that severe discomfort does not need to
be a natural accompaniement of birthing.
HypnoBirthing is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. It is a rewarding, relaxing, stress-free method of birthing that is based on the belief that all babies should come into the world in an atmosphere of gentility, calm and joy. When a mother is properly prepared for birthing physically, mentally and spiritually, she can experience that sort of joy. Birthing her baby in an easier, more comfortable and often even pain free way. Through a well-thought-out program of deep relaxation and education, HypnoBirthing returns to a woman the art of birthing in a way that allows her to summon her natural birthing instincts and to birth her baby safely and with ease.
When having your baby with HypnoBirthing, what you experience is similar to the daydreaming or focusing that occurs when you are engrossed in a book or staring at the fire. You will be conversant and in good spirits, totally relaxed and fully in control.
You will be aware of your body's contractions but will be able to determine the extand of which you feel the surge.
You will experience your birthing in an atmosphere of calm and relaxation, without fear and tension that cause pain.
Your body's natural anesthesia (endorphins) will replace the stress hormones that create pain.
