HypnoBirthing™ is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. The HypnoBirthing™ concept is not new to obstetrics and gynecology, but rather a "rebirth" of the philosophy of birthing as it existed thousands of years ago and as it was recaptured in the work of Dr. Grantly Dick-Read, an English obstetrician, who first forwarded the concept of natural birthing in the 1920s. The method teaches you that in the absence of fear and tension, severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labor.
HypnoBirthing™ is the alternative to managing your birth without the use of drugs or Lamaze. Hypnosis has been approved by the American Medial Association (AMA) for medical procedures, including the reduction or elimination of pain.
When you choose to have a natural, drug free childbirth, you can have a healthier delivery for you and your baby. Nurses and doctors are becoming increasingly aware of the advantages of using hypnosis. You will always have the ability to use anesthesia if you desire, but most doctors and nurses report that, when it is requested, much less is needed than when hypnosis is not used. As a result, both mother and child are more healthy and alert for the experience. Not using chemical anesthesia or using much less anesthesia, also tends to aid in recovery for the new mother and infant.
We help you to bring the HypnoBirthing process to your doctor's attention, so that your doctor (obstetrician & gynecologist) will be able to use the process to make your experience as safe and painless as possible. Becoming a mother has never been safer or easier.
You will gain an understanding of how the birthing muscles work in perfect harmony--as they were designed to--when your body is sufficiently relaxed. You will learn how to achieve this kind of relaxation, free of the resistance that fear creates, and you will learn to use your natural birthing instincts for a calm, serene and comfortable birthing.
