Hypnosis for Birthing UK®
Do you dream of a calm and quiet birth where YOU are in control?
You can achieve this using Hypnosis for Birthing
Hypnosis produces calmness and relaxation, physically and mentally,
and therefore reduces pain, fluctuating blood pressure, anxiety, stress and nausea.
It is established that hypnosis reduces the first stage of labour by
Approx 2 hours in the multip and possibly between 3 - 4 hours in the primip
Less analgesic drug therapy required (if any)
Using hypnosis and the techniques therein significantly reduce pain during delivery,
if there is need for an analgesic, a reduced amount of drug is effective.
It is frequently found that no painkillers are required, as only the sensations experienced will be
movement and pressure. Glove anaesthesia is taught during self-hypnosis sessions.
Episiotomy
Due to relaxation during the final stages of labour, there is very little tearing if at all, as no hard anxious pushing has been applied. If an
episiotomy is required, suggestion of anaesthesia is used for the peri-anal area by self-hypnosis. (Glove anaesthesia).
Hypnosis Sessions
Only 4 sessions are required (including the initial consultation).
Preferably with the Birthing Partner or Expectant Father at least once. This is to establish from both, the needs and expectations during the birth, and to give the opportunity for the partner to experience hypnosis.
Therapy is continued at home with the use of a personally
recorded CD in the expectant mothers own time and way.
