Hypnobirthing is a skill, therefore it requires training and practice to get the most out of it during the course. Pain free labour and birth is possible with hypnobirthing. 

The Hypnobirthing Institute has discovered that approximately 65%-70% of hypnobirthing mothers do not need any type of pain relief. 69% of ladies I instructed over a two year period, didn’t require any type of pain relief during labour either. As indicated by the Hypnobirthing Institute, a further 20%-25% just required something gentle, such as gas and air. The remaining 5%-10% experience ‘special circumstances’, where clinical medication is needed. 

The hypnobirthing mothers I trained who experienced ‘special circumstances’ revealed to me that hypnobirthing still truly helped with their birth and made it as calm and positive as possible. The point of hypnobirthing is to assist you having a positive birthing experience, so regardless of the conditions, it will help you remain calm and in control.

Mums who don’t have an epidural can move around easily. Studies prove that an epidural drags out the birthing time and increases the odds of different medical interventions. Even though using pain-relief drugs is at times needed, people ought to know that any medications the mother’s body ingests can affect their baby too. Hypnobirthing gives you the best opportunity of having a drug free birth by decreasing the requirement for pain relief. A drug-free birthing experience is helpful for both mother and infant.

The ideal opportunity to begin the 4-week course is between the 20th and 30th week of your pregnancy. However, you can always contact us after 30 weeks and we will try to fit you on a course.

Yes. In hypnobirthing, there are skills which are best when they have been acquired with adequate practice time between classes for success. The 4-week course empowers you and your birth companion to feel completely ready. 

Hypnobirthing is for anybody who needs to feel increasingly prepared and confident about birth. First-time mums can use hypnobirthing to relax properly and learn about childbirth, while mums who are on their second or subsequent pregnancies may need another way to cope with labour, having had a troublesome previous childbirth. Additionally, mums who wish to have a vaginal birth after a caesarean (VBAC) frequently find that hypnobirthing assists with resolving any fears they may have.

There is nothing unusual about hypnosis – it just helps you to relax. You are still completely mindful of what is happening around you. Self-hypnosis is a simple skill that can be learned and improved all through the length of the course.

The hypnobirthing course includes substantially more than just learning self-hypnosis; it is an entire way of thinking and way to deal with pregnancy and labour. Moreover, after birth, the various methods can be extremely valuable for helping you to unwind in your daily life.

Hypnobirthing is totally safe for your baby. Your baby feels precisely what you feel, so whenever you feel calm, your baby will appreciate similarly peaceful sensations. 

Studies have demonstrated that infants of mums who have had a natural delivery, are increasingly ready and show more enthusiasm for breastfeeding practices. Not only that, but endorphins have been found in the placenta and umbilical cord, which shows that these calm-inducing hormones help to relax your baby, too.
