What's hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is all about helping to support a positive birth experience, whether that’s induction, caesarean or vaginal. To be honest, the name Hypnobirthing is a little misleading. You might think it means you’re not in control, or it’s for people who don’t want any pain relief. That’s not the case at all. It’s based on hypnosis which is used to dispel fears, anxieties and phobias. In fact, using self-hypnosis techniques in conjuction with learning to trust the birth physiology process, can help support the body in the best way possible.
The term hypnosis means “a state during which a person experiences suggested changes in sensation, perception, thought or behaviour.”
Hypnobirthing involves relaxation, self-hypnosis and breathwork techniques to help relax the body before and during labour and birth, and can even be used after your baby is born. Clinical research also shows that hypnosis in childbirth can result in reduced pain, shorter labour and less medical intervention.
