What is HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method?
HypnoBirthing® is a complete birth preparation programme, that is much more than just self hypnosis or hypnotherapy for childbirth.It is based on the premise that childbirth is a natural, normal and healthy function in healthy women carrying healthy babies and does not by nature have to be accompanied by severe pain or discomfort!
Whilst traditional antenatal classes tell you all about pain management in labour, HypnoBirthing® classes look closely at the physiological processes of childbirth and clearly explain why severe pain is not a necessary part of labour and - most importantly - teach you practical tools to minimise or even avoid pain building up in the first place!
By combining natural childbirth education with deep relaxation, self-hypnosis, visualisation and special
breathing practice, HypnoBirthing® will empower you and teach you
proven, easy-to-learn techniques that will allow you to free yourself
from fear and negative emotion about birthing and instead help you to
discover, trust and support your natural ability to give birth with
ease - and in comfort!
HypnoBirthing® teaches you reliable self-hypnosis techniques that, with practise will be there for you when you most need them. You will learn how to relax deeply throughout every stage of labour, whilst at the same time you will be fully aware and in control. In this deeply relaxed state your body will release endorphins, the body's own natural anaesthesia which lessens, or even eliminates, any discomfort and with it the need for medication.
Just imagine welcoming each surge! Feeling peaceful... relaxing... and even smiling as your baby comes closer to you!
HypnoBirthing® doesn't require any particular belief system, or prior experience. Some of our mums (and especially their husbands!) have been very sceptical at first - until they experience it for themselves.
In fact, the more sceptical they are to start with, the more evangelical they are when they discover the power of HypnoBirthing®.
And the benefits of HypnoBirthing® extend even beyond making labour more comfortable; labour is also likely to be shortened by several hours and the risk of complications and the need for interventions are reduced.
