WHY Choose Hypnobabies?
* The Ultimate Reason: a calm, comfortable and easy natural birth!
* You and your partner will be more relaxed during pregnancy, labor and birth.
* Shorter labor due to lack of resistance in your birthing muscles.
* Fewer complications and interventions, as your body and mind stay completely relaxed during labor.
* Proper positioning of your baby during pregnancy and birth: Posterior and Breech babies can be turned with hypnosis.
* Fewer drugs or no drugs at all, means less risk of harmful side effects for you and your baby.
* Elimination of the Fear/Tension/Pain Cycle.
Yeah… but does it really work?
The following are statistics from our founder’s class students over several years:
* Comfortable labors – 70-75% Women who report that they felt mostly pressure or tightening sensations. Most of these women describe their labor as “pain-free”
* Comfortable until transition – 10-15% Pressure only, until the 10-60 minute transitional period, with mild to intense degrees of sensation thereafter. “Very manageable.”
* Comfortable until active labor - 10% with mild to intense degrees of sensation thereafter. This group can have any number of things that affect their birth experiences: posterior or mal-presentations that do not resolve, other labor complications, emotional issues, lack of support, or they simply did not do their homework (30 - 35 minutes a day)! Hypnosis won’t help someone that is not willing to do the work involved in preparing for her baby’s birth.
