Natural Childbirth
 
Hypnosis during pregnancy and childbirth.
 
 
Mothers who have had hypnotherapy during their pregnancy, and
have learned simple self-hypnosis techniques to relax and control pain during labour, do very well both during their pregnancy and during childbirth.
 
The main advantages are that mothers:
 
  • Feel less fear and tension.
  • Feel less pain.
  • Feel in control of their pain during contractions
  • Experience shorter labour - Hypnosis shortens the first stage of labour by approximately three to four hours for first-time mothers.
  • Recover more quickly from delivery
  • Feel less emotionally and physically tired during and after the birth
Other advantages:
  • Decreases the use of chemical anaesthesia, so fewer side- effects from medication.
  • Encourages the bleeding to stop at the appropriate time.
  • Decreases the risk of 'post-natal blues'

 


The course package consists of 5 sessions, 4 before the birth and 1 approximately 2 weeks after. 
 
Ideally, the course should begin as early into the pregnancy as possible to allow the mother-to-be plenty of time to practise the techniques in preparation for the birth.
 
 Audio CD's of the session are included in the package for the client to use at home.
