What woman doesn’t dream of her baby being born into a calm, relaxed environment? This dream can be a reality using hypnosis for childbirth. You can achieve the birth you want for you baby by using the power of your own mind to control the pain so it is manageable for you as you work with your body to deliver the baby.
There is a reason why birthing pains are called “labour” – you have to work at it and look what you are getting in return. It may be the hardest day’s work you will ever do! Think of how amazing your body is to push your baby gently down the birth canal while your cervix softens in preparation for your baby’s arrival into the world!
Hypnosis helps by allowing you to rest deeply (between contractions) to give you extra energy for the next push. Remember each contraction is a step closer to seeing your baby!
Hypnosis for childbirth is at a different level of trance. You are fully aware at all times – this is important if you have to make any informed decisions. Remember hypnosis in no way interferes with whatever medical intervention is required. Hypnosis gives you a pain relieving choice.
Benefits of using hypnosis as a pain relief method is that you can have a drug free birth so no side effects for baby. It significantly shortens labour as you work with your body. When we feel pain our initial reaction is to fight it and we experience anxiety which rushes through your body increasing the pain. Hypnosis works the opposite way – you are relaxed and can manage the pain as it is working for you and with you to deliver your baby. Another benefit is that the birthing environment is calm and relaxed. The feeling of empowerment as your baby is delivered is indescribable.
Hypnosis allows you to eliminate the fear, stress and anxiety associated with giving birth. You get the birth you want. Natural childbirth does not have to be painful. Isn’t that wonderful?
