What are the Benefits of Using Hypnosis for Childbirth?

* Hypno-couples are deprogrammed from the usual negativity of childbirth stories and scenarios they’ve always heard, by way of training in Hypnobabies classes, and the CDs and scripts which have positive and deeply implanted messages. This automatically sets them up for a better attitude and confidence in birthing.

*The Hypno-mom will use fewer drugs or no drugs, which means less risk of side effects for mother and baby, due to elimination of Fear/Tension/Pain Syndrome as well as using powerful post-hypnotic suggestions.

*Most Hypno-mothers have shorter Birthing Times since there is less resistance of the birthing muscles when pain and fear are minimized or eliminated.

*The birthing woman generally has much more energy throughout first and second sage, due to total relaxation throughout the birthing process.

*The birthing environment is much more calm and peaceful when the natural childbirth mother is comfortable.

*Hypno-babies are born gently without drugs in their systems or hearing their mothers cry out in pain.

*Breech and posterior babies can be turned using Hypnosis.

*Blood pressure, heart rate and temperature can be lowered and nausea, back and hip pain eliminated with hypnosis during pregnancy and birthing.

*There are fewer interventions for failure to progress and therefore fewer fetal and maternal complications during birthing.

*The deep relaxation in childbirth hypnosis sessions has also helped many a nervous dad to cope, and the skills that the hypno-couple learns for relaxation and hypnosis will benefit them for the rest of their lives. In Hypnobabies, our Hypno-daddies also get their own relaxation CD.
