Childbirth is one of nature’s miracles and something experienced only a few times in the average woman’s life; hypnotherapy allows it to be a positive and joyous experience. Once the methods are learned they are available to you for life, for pain control, stress reduction and for any future births too. Hypnotherapy is the best way to experience labour as it enables a drug-free and pain free birth. It is better and safer for both you and your baby as it eliminates the side-effects caused by strong drugs. It also results in a quicker bonding of mother and baby after birth and reduces the likelihood of antenatal depression. Labour is significantly shortened and also, due to the relaxation, you are much less likely to experience complications.
The programme consists of four sessions with the first ideally between the third and fourth month of pregnancy. The programme includes CD’s for continued practice at home and gives you everything you need to ensure you have an intense but enjoyable birth experience. The programme can also include a partner if this is required, but it is certainly not essential.
