More and more mums-to-be are turning to Hypnotherapy
to help them in childbirth as it has been found to be the
most effective way to have a comfortable relaxed birth.

 Here are just a few of the Many Positive Benefits of Using Hypnosis for Childbirth:

·        Hypnosis produces calmness and relaxation both physically and mentally

·        Hypnosis reduces discomfort during pregnancy and regulates blood pressure

·        Hypnosis reduces the first stage of labour by approximately 2 hours

·        Using Hypnotherapy gives a time distortion

·        Hypnosis significantly reduces pain during delivery therefore if there is any need for anaesthetic a reduced amount of drugs are effective

·        Hypnosis during labour means no hard anxious pushing is necessary and subsequently there is very little tearing if at all.

·        You will have a less stressed baby

·        You will be less exhausted after the birth both mentally and physically

·        Giving birth will be a calm peaceful experience

·        After giving birth there may be a reduced possibility of post-natal depression

What Happens with Hypnosis with Childbirth?  

The first session would generally take place around 32 weeks and would last around one hour.  During this time I will ask you for some history including how your pregnancy has been developing.  I will also ask you what your needs and expectations are regarding the birth and explain to you how Hypnosis for Childbirth can fulfil those requirements.  It will also be a time when we can get to know each other better so that you feel comfortable and at ease.

At the next session, I would like you to bring your partner with you when we can discuss what their needs and expectations are for the birth.  I feel that it is vital for your partner to be involved, after all it is his special time as well and it is imperative that both parents-to-be can interact with one another during this very important event in their lives.

During the session both partners will experience hypnosis, this will be a generalized relaxation session which will not only boost confidence and self esteem but will provide you both with more insight into the birthing and bonding with your baby.  At the end of that session I will ask you if you have any particular fears or phobias – these will be dealt with at the next session.

The third session is just for you, the mum-to-be.  This is the time when I can teach self-hypnosis and management of discomfort.  You will also have a wonderfully relaxing hypnotherapy session and you will feel exceptionally calm and relaxed. I will give you a CD to take home so that you can practice at home.  It is very important that you allow  some ‘practice time just for you’, when you can use self hypnosis and practice the techniques you will have learned.  You will not only feel relaxed but you will also have great confidence and self assurance during the weeks leading up to the birth.  Your partner can also use the CD of course!  At the end of the session I will deal with any fears or phobias you have told me about.

On the Final session we will do a hypnotic session which will give you some suggestions for helping you to relax and reduce discomfort and I will teach you how you can open your eyes within hypnosis without coming out of the relaxing hypnotic state.  Once again, it is vital that you practice this at home, so, at the end of this session I will give you a pre-birthing CD which you can listen to as many times as possible (every day if you can) up to the time of your birthing.

Also on the last session, I will give you another CD which you need to pack in your hospital bag as it is only to be listened to when you are actually in labour and throughout giving birth, this contains subliminal messages for well being and a binaural beat which can induce contractions but I’ll explain more about that when you come to see me.

Finally I always like to hear how you went on at the birth so do let me know your experiences and of course the weight, sex and name of your happy and relaxed new baby!
