HypnoBirthing – taking the world by calm...


HypnoBirthing is as much a philosophy as a technique for those who believe that pregnancy and birth are a natural part of life. In our culture, giving birth tends to be associated with pain, medical intervention and horror stories – just think of all those tv programmes and fi lms you’ve watched!


Put simply, if we expect something to be painful and traumatic, it probably will be. Once we experience fear, we release hormones – such as adrenaline - which are so powerful they can slow down or even stop labour. Fear during labour can create a downward spiral of pain. All these factors mean that medical intervention is much more likely. HypnoBirthing teaches mums about how their muscles work in perfect harmony – as they were designed to do – when their body is suffi ciently relaxed. Knowledge is key with regard to reducing fear levels.


HypnoBirthing also provides mums and their


birth partners with powerful tools to enter deep states of relaxation whilst giving birth, working with those natural birth hormones, to promote a sense of calm. When mums are relaxed, their bodies will produce oxytocin which helps to start and maintain the birthing process. Using those tools which access a deep state of relaxation allows mums to release endorphins – nature’s own painkillers – which are more powerful than morphine!


There’s good news for dads too. Often, dads don’t really know what to do during labour. HypnoBirthing considers dads – or other birthing partners – to be an absolutely integral part of the process. They gain as much knowledge as the mums and practice all the techniques with them. During the birth, they are the mum’s ‘voice’ – that crucial link between the mum and midwife at a time when mum needs to focus on herself.
