Gentle Childbirth
If you are expecting a baby – Congratulations! This is a wonderful and very exciting time for you.
You have so much to look forward to and by learning self-hypnosis you can take a huge step towards a confident, relaxed and empowering birth, free from fear. You may not have considered hypnosis for childbirth before, so here are a few facts:
Did you know?
* The average length of labour for mums using prenatal hypnosis is significantly reduced. One study (Jenkins and Pritchard, 1993) of 126 first time mums found that labour lasted on average 6.4 hours after hypnosis, compared with 9.4 hours for mums without hypnosis. Even more amazing, a retrospective survey by Gallagher (2001) noted that participants in the Hypnosis for Childbirth series averaged 4.5 hours of active labour, compared with 12 hours in other first time mums.
* Mums using hypnosis preparation for childbirth use significantly less medication. Both sets of research back this up. This is good for baby, and good for you because less drugs means faster recovery.
* You can learn the self-hypnosis techniques needed for a comfortable and confident childbirth in just 4 individual sessions. And you remain fully aware and able to cooperate with doctors and midwives throughout.
