Your baby wants a pain free birthing how about you?

Think about all the time you spend picking out the nursery items, are you spending that much time picking out the Childbirth class?  If not don't you want the best! After all your baby only get one birthing!

What is HypnoBirthing? The only prenatal class you will ever need!

HypnoBirthing is gentle, relaxing, stress- free method of birthing that is based on the belief that all babies should come into the world in an atmosphere of gentleness, calm and joy. Weather you give birth at home or in the hospital, the experience is meant to be natural, normal and healthy.

Having a child changes a women's life forever. Childbirth can be a positive, memorable, unique and exciting experience or it can be a traumatic, frightening and painful, for both mother as well as baby.  What makes the difference is how well the mother is prepared and how relaxed, supported and safe she feels while giving birth.

I teach women how to do self - hypnosis and use very slow breathing methods that coincide with the body's natural "surges", otherwise known as contractions. Her birthing companion learns how to help her stay relaxed, making sure she feels loved and protected, so she can birth her baby with joy, confidence and dignity.

You have only one chance to birth this baby!

 What you will learn:                                 

             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.   When you have your baby with HypnoBirthing®, you will not be in a deep trance or asleep. What you will experience is similar to the daydreaming or focusing that occurs when you are engrossed in a book or a movie or staring into a fire.   You will be conversant and in good spirits--totally relaxed, but fully in control.  Awake throughout, you will be aware of your body's surges; but because you will have trained yourself to reach complete relaxation, you will be able to determine the degree to which you will feel the surges.  You will experience birthing in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free of the fear and tension that prevents the muscles of your body from functioning as nature intended them to.   In this calm state your body's natural anesthesia, endorphins, replaces the stress hormones that constrict and cause pain.

Tra Pt     Practitioner of HypnoBirthing® are successfully teaching women and their birthing companions relaxation techniques of HypnoBirthing® that eliminate the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome throughout the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Holland, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

 Marie Mongan, a hypnotherapist who founded the HypnoBirthing® Method based on the Dick-Read philosophy of natural childbirth, explains it this way:  "When mind and body are in harmony, nature is free to function in the same well-designed manner that it does with all other creatures."  But this doesn't mean that your mind gets a free vacation while your body does all the work.  "A lot of people mistakenly labor under the impression that we're teaching them to go away to la- land or something of the sort," puns Mongan.  "We are not.  In fact, mother and baby are working together."

Mongan trains moms-to-be in her care to break the fight-or-flight instincts that kick in during labor, because a birthing mother cannot take either course of action.  She says these instincts cause oxygenated blood and hormones to be diverted from the uterus to other muscles, resulting in the pain that many women experience.  Through hypnosis, she schools moms (and dads, too!) to relax without resistance and allow their body to do its job.

No Dangling Gold Watches

You've probably experienced self-hypnosis in your life, even if you didn't recognize it.  Have you ever zoned out while driving on a highway just from staring at those white lines in the road?  Have you ever stared into the flames in a fireplace and started daydreaming or drifting off?  Both of those common experiences are what experts say hypnosis feels like.

"There are several misunderstandings about hypnosis, due primarily to stage hypnotists," Tuschhoff says.  "Hypnosis is not a state of sleep, but one of deep focus and concentration.  It's a state we're in all the time, whether we're driving or sitting in front of a computer screen.  You are fully aware of your surroundings at all times."

Mongan clarifies the fact that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis and that it is a very natural state:  "It's not scary or threatening or dangerous."  She adds that using hypnotherapy doesn't mean you'll be a zombie in the delivery room.  On the contrary, you'll be wide awake, in charge and fully participating, though you'll also be completely relaxed and experiencing labor in total harmony of mind and body. [emphasis mine]

Visualization, imagery and special breathing techniques, in addition to self-hypnosis, are central to using hypnotherapy during childbirth.  Self-affirming scripts are offered as guides for entering the hypnotic state, but through the classes or practice at home each couple learns what works best for them.

For the Skeptics

You might be dubious about the possibility of feeling little or no pain during labor and delivery, or even about your own ability to be hypnotized in the first place.  That's what Julie Wilson thought.  Julie reacts badly to most common pain medications and decided she wanted to try natural childbirth.  She was very skeptical about hypnotherapy, and her police-officer husband was even more so.  The Scottsdale, AZ couple decided to try anyway, attending classes once a week for 6 weeks.  They learned relaxation and medication techniques that worked for them.

But when the time came for her delivery, some complications arose.  Julie's pregnancy had been high-risk from the start for a number of reasons, and her labor was not a typical one. She ended up needing an epidural, but after the immediate cause for concern passed, the epidural was turned way down (effects wear off in about 45 minutes) and Julie used hypnotherapy successfully during 3 hours of pushing until her daughter, Cheyenne, was born.  "It was interesting to see how it really did work.  You could block out all those people, and I had a lot of people in the room--there was a lot of noise and a lot of talking." She even scared her Ob/Gun a few times, appearing so calm and serene that the doctor kept checking her blood pressure.

Julie says, "I actually found it exhilarating to know that I could put myself into that kind of state and not feel the pain."  When pressed on that point, she emphasized, "I felt absolutely no pain." [emphasis mine]

Not Just for Labor

In addition to preparing for her baby's birth, Jennifer Hyvonen used daily self-hypnosis techniques to get through the aches and pains in her hips and joints during her third trimester.  A month and a half before her due date, she says, "A daily (sometimes twice daily) practice has helped [me] to calm my body and mind, relieve pressure and pain and get a full night's sleep again."

The Utah mom-to-be says.

Both Mongan and O'Neill highlight prenatal preparation and mothering as a huge component of their teachings, which are predicated on the idea that a mother who is in tune with her unborn baby and her gestating body will more easily be able to follow her natural instincts through the childbirth process.

Tuschhoff also stresses prenatal preparation with a technique called "compounding."  She says that if reinforced every day, the hypnotic suggestions become stronger and will be there in full effect when the HypnoBirthing mom gives birth.  She cautions that if a mom-to-be doesn't "do her homework," the hypnotherapy won't be as effective for her as for someone who prepared every day.

"If I knew [when my children were born] what I know now about using the power of my own mind to control my body, I would have used hypnosis and guided visualizations to eliminate my own fears, concerns and control issues about childbirth...and been able to experience natural, un medicated childbirth without suffering," says Tuschhoff, who delivered both her children using the Bradley Method of natural childbirth.

If you're worried about what you'll face when you deliver, or just want a little help battling the stress and aches of pregnancy, give hypnotherapy a try.  It just might help you have the birth experience you're hoping for!

 The Facts

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis; the hypnotherapist is only the guide. A person chooses to enter into a hypnotic state, stay in, and come out at will.?

Approximately 90 to 95 percent of the population can be hypnotized. Willingness, belief, and motivation have great influence over "hypnotizable."?

During hypnosis you are neither asleep nor unconscious and will always come out when you wish.?

Stronger-minded and stronger-willed people are easier to hypnotize—not the other way around, as is usually assumed.?

You cannot be made to divulge information or do anything against your will while in hypnosis.?

Hypnosis is not satanic or religion-oriented; it is just a way to redirect your thoughts.

How Hypnosis Helps Childbirth?

Hypnosis is used in medical and dental practices with great success by patients with life-threatening allergies to anesthetics, allowing them to undergo surgeries with no drugs or pain. As hypnotherapists, we can help train the mind to experience discomfort as only pressure, and we can achieve the same result with childbirth hypnosis. In fact, you can learn deep physical relaxation and practice it daily in preparation for your birth using guided visualizations followed by positive hypnotic suggestions. If your critical conscious mind can be bypassed with hypnosis, your inner mind can literally be reprogrammed to believe that birth will be comfortable, easy, and joyous.

Seek out a qualified hypnotherapist for office sessions. ?Interview hypnotherapists before working with one and ask what type of program they have for childbirth using hypnosis, as not all of them already have an effective program in their practice.  HypnoBirthing the Mongan method was the first. A good program will include at least four sessions in the office or a private class in your home, with the last session one to three weeks before the estimated due date. It should also include at least one tape or CD to listen to at home by yourself, and one or more cues for the birth companion to practice that help you relax and go deeper into hypnosis.  This helps tremendously with women who have personal issues that need to be resolved, such as VBAC moms, those who have had a past negative birth experience, or those who have specific fears about childbirth. Always ask it they are Certified HypnoBirthing & or Hypnotherapist.

HypnoBirthing calm birthing for you and your baby.
