PLEASE NOTE: UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO AN ONGOING FAMILY SITUATION I CANNOT OFFER HYPNOSIS FOR CHILDBIRTH CLASSES AT THIS TIME.
This site is about Hypnosis for Childbirth and how it can help pregnant women have easier, more comfortable births by using self hypnosis!
FACTS ABOUT HYPNOSIS FOR CHILDBIRTH
Hypnosis was first used for successful pain control during childbirth over 200 years ago. Unfortunately it fell out of favour when chemical anesthesia such as chloroform and ether became available.
During birth a woman's body produces endorphins that are 200 times more powerful than morphine.
Fear, anxiety and stress counteract endorphins (causing the Fear - Tension - Pain syndrome). Therefore one of the goals of using hypnosis during childbirth is to greatly reduce or eliminate fear, anxiety and stress and facilitate confidence, serenity and calmness.
Hypnosis naturally induces profound calmness and deep relaxation.
Women who use hypnosis during their births have shorter and faster labours.
In many so called "primitive cultures" before they had contact with western "civilization", pain during childbirth was rare and often only experienced when there was a complication.
Women who use hypnosis during their births need less medical interventions (c-sections, forceps deliveries, pain medication, epidurals etc); they also have fewer complications and episodes of postpartum depression. (What could be better than this)?
Hypnosis has a documented 81% success rate in turning breech babies.
