HypnoBirthing® -
A Celebration of Life
HypnoBirthing® is as much a philosophy as it is a technique.
It is a rewarding, relaxing, stress-free method of birthing that
is based on the belief that all babies should come into the world
in an atmosphere of quiet, calm and joy.
When a mother is prepared
for birthing physically, mentally and spiritually, she can
experience that sort of joy, birthing her baby in an easier,
more comfortable
and often even pain free way.
Through a thorough program of
deep relaxation, self-hypnosis and education, HypnoBirthing® returns to a woman the natural art of birthing in a way that
allows
her
to use her birthing instincts and to birth her baby in safety
and with ease.
HypnoBirthing® is based on the belief that
severe discomfort does not need to accompany birth.
The advantages are:
|
elimination of the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome before, during
and after birthing |
|
reduction and often elimination of the need for chemical
anaesthesia, episiotomy and other interventions |
|
lessening of fatigue during birth, leaving mother fresh,
awake and energised as she brings her baby into the world |
|
shortening of the first stage of birth by several hours
and allows the mother to use the natural pulsations of
her body to breathe her baby down to the crowning stage
- reduces the risk of pelvic floor damage and is less exhausting |
|
bringing the mother, baby and birthing companion together
in a wonderful prenatal, perinatal and postnatal bonding
experience |
|
the birth companion is an integral part of the birthing |
|
almost
complete elimination of postnatal discomfort and "baby blues" or
post-natal depression |
|
babies are better adjusted and happier, resulting in
better eating and sleeping routines |
|
mothers don't run the risk of hyperventilation from
shallow breathing |
|
birthing is returned to the safe, beautiful, peaceful
experience that Nature intended it to be |
