HypnoBirthing® Advantages
HypnoBirthing®
classes will teach you many things that other antenatal classes
sadly will not, and the relaxation techniques that you will learn are a
skill for life with benefits far beyond birth!
HypnoBirthing will give you the tools to:
- Free yourself from fear and negative anticipation around childbirth - which will help you to avoid the Fear - Tension - Pain Syndrom and greatly reduces and often eliminates the need for chemical painkillers and drugs
- Learn to relax yourself deeply during labour and birth and stay calm and in control - regardless of circumstances or surroundings - so that you can best support your bodies natural birth efforts, and thereby greatly reduce the need for interventions and shorten the duration of labour by several hours
- Tap into your body's store of endorphines, the only safe labour enhancement, making labour shorter and more comfortable
- Connect with, trust and follow your natural birthing instincts for a safer, gentler birth
- Avoid the violence of hard, physical pushing by learning to gently bear down with your breath as your baby moves through the birth canal and finally is born. This will help to keep oxygen supplied to baby during birthing, makes birth safer, and reduces the likelihood of tears as well as the need for an episiotomy
- Reduce
and often eliminate fatigue during labour, and instead feel
alert, fresh, awake and with energy during labour and birth
- Speed up post-natal recovery and reduce or eliminate occurrence of baby blues and post-natal depression
You will also learn:
- Positions for active, upright, relaxed birth
- The importance of the birth environment and how you and your birth companion can create a birthing environment that is calm serene and joyful, rather than tense and stressful
- How to be confident and informed when dealing with the medical
staff - when to question, what to ask...and when it's time to let them
take charge
- How to bring about your own easy start of labour with some simple,
natural techniques and to avoid artificial chemical induction, if you go beyond your "estimated due date"
And the benefits don't stop there:
- You'll learn the techniques once for this birth, but then you can
then use them again and again, no matter how many children you have
- HypnoBirthing® techniques work very effectively with home births,
water births, hospital births, birthing centres...whatever. It's your
choice what kind of birth to have - HypnoBirthing® helps them all.
- You can use the techniques to help calm and relax yourself any time you feel stressed out...(we've had many couples tell us this alone has been invaluable!)
And finally, HypnoBirthing® is not only great for you, the mum, but also for the baby, and dad, too!
- Babies born to mothers using HypnoBirthing techniques tend to be more relaxed. Because they are likely to experience less trauma in labour and birth they tend to be calmer and feed & sleep better! .
- Dads/birth companions will also gain a greater level of understanding and trust in the birth process and most importantly will learn how they can best support you during labour and birth. Rather than being play a helpless bystander they will play an integral role in the birthing, supporting you in relaxation, protecting the birth environment and advocating for your birth preferences. Many couples find that the experience of working through labour together in this way enhances their relationship and their bond.
What you'll learn through HypnoBirthing® is how you can confidently approach a
safe, easier and more comfortable natural birth.
We can't promise you a 'perfect' birth - no one can - but we can promise you a much, much more comfortable and relaxed birth than you would have had otherwise.
