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 medication How to reduce your risk of needing an episiotomy
during birth with a 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 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 HypnoBirthing® is designed as a structured but
informal class format that teaches about the physical, emotional and spiritual
aspects of birth. You'll learn why your body does what it does, as
well as how. Plus, as well as the classes themselves, you'll receive a
professionally produced 196-page text book HypnoBirthing®:
A Celebration Of Life, an affirmations and relaxation tape or CD set, and
numerous weekly handouts, all included in the price. More benefits
Additional benefits that have been reported by mums include: Considerably shorter
labour and birthing Significantly fewer surgical births High number of
comfortable, natural births with no technological assistance A high rate of success in
assisting breech-presented babies to turn into appropriate birthing position
with the use of posture and hypnosis (in a study done at the University of
Vermont of 100 women at 37 to 40 weeks, there was a 81% success rate with
hypnosis) Highly energized mums in
good spirits following births that are calm and gentle You'll learn the
techniques once for this birth, but then you can then use them again and
again, no matter how many children you have HypnoBirthing®
techniques work very effectively with home births, water births, hospital
births, birthing centres...whatever. It's your choice what kind of birth to
have - HypnoBirthing® helps them all. You can use the
techniques to help calm and relax yourself any time you feel stressed
out...(we've had many couples tell us this alone has been invaluable!) What you'll learn through HypnoBirthing® is how
you can confidently approach a safe, easier and more comfortable
natural birth. I can't promise you a 'perfect' birth - no one can - but
HypnoBirthing® 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. Scientific research has also shown that the babies usually
have higher Agpar scores as well (a measure of how well your baby is doing
immediately after the birth, and then five minutes later). 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 focussed 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! |

… experiences have clearly shown
that an approach which ‘de-medicalizes’ birth, restores dignity
and humanity to the process of childbirth and returns control to the mother
is also the safest approach Michel Odent |
