10 Reasons to Try HypnoBirthing

13 Feb 10 Reasons to Try HypnoBirthing

1. Helps to reduce and even eliminate the fear-tension-pain syndrome through positive birth expectancy, fear release therapy and relaxation techniques
2. Helps birthing muscles to work more effectively to open the cervix through relaxation techniques and uses natural ways to encourage the release of oxytocin to enhance surges and endorphins to provide a natural tranquilliser for the body
3. Best opportunity for a natural birth reduces and often eliminates the need for pain relieving drugs and much less likely to need medical intervention
4. Still a very useful tool if medical assistance is needed for the safety of the mother or baby, as it keeps mother and baby relaxed, calm and mother is likely to enjoy a speedier recovery to follow
5. Allows mothers to conserve energy during labour and leaves mothers and babies feeling more energised, connected and alert afterwards through the release of endorphins
6. Empowers parents to ask the right questions and make informed decisions should the birth take an unexpected turn for a more positive birthing experience
7. Gives the birthing partner an integral role in the birthing experience, supporting mum and helping her to stay relaxed using prompts and light touch massage
8. Embraces and promotes pre-natal and post-natal bonding
9. Teaches calm breathing and surge breathing to stay relaxed during labour and birth breathing for the birthing stage to gently nudge the baby into world without the need for forced pushing
10. Self-hypnosis is a very natural and easy skill to learn you are fully in control and aware at all times and can bring yourself out of it at any time it is a very useful skill to have for the rest of your life (like meditation) as it can help you manage stress and anxiety
