Hypnobirthing- How It Works

Mums-to-be
Hypnobirthing is a self-hypnosis programme based on the logic of how the mind and the body work together. Mums-to be are taught very powerful techniques including how to achieve deep relaxation and ways to employ focused breathing and effective visualisations. The mother learns how to bring herself into this deep relaxation at will so she is always fully conscious and totally in control.

It is a known fact that our bodies produce different hormones depending on whether we are in a state of fear or relaxation. By learning to release anxieties and in maintaining a calm, relaxed state of mind, the mother's body is able to produce natural 'painkillers' which not only significantly reduce discomfort during the birth process but also help her labouring body to work more efficiently. Many Hypnobirthing mums have reported that they did not require any pain medication at all.

Fathers /Partners
The involvement of husbands and partners is also a key element of Hypnobirthing as they are taught how to support the mother's relaxation with verbal prompts and gentle massage. They also learn how to talk to medical staff on mum's behalf. This is really empowering for husbands and partners as it gives them an active role in bringing their child into the world and also gives them the security that, together with mum, they are ensuring the best possible birth experience for their newborn.
Even if partners are unable to attend the Hypnobirthing class with the mother, a clear and simple factsheet will be provided that they can then discuss together.

Babies
Hypnobirthing babies are often found to be calmer and settle easier as they are born into an atmosphere of gentleness and peace. They are also found to be very alert as Hypnobirthing typically allows them to enter the world drug-free.
