Are you curious about hypnobirthing?
People always ask me … what is hypnobirthing ?
And ... they’re often surprised at how simple and non-scary the answer is.
I think they’re expecting me to spurt out some woo-woo nonsense.
Epidural In Birth - But once I explain it to them what is hypnobirthing , most people think it makes a lot of sense and can’t understand why all women aren’t taught these skills.
I nod in agreement.
I guess the term “hypno” freaks people out, but here’s my explanation of hypnobirthing in a nutshell.
So ... what is hypnobirthing?
Epidural In Birth - Hypnobirthing is about tapping into our body’s natural resources to have a calm, comfortable, safe and empowering birth.
It’s a comprehensive childbirth course and the “hypno” part comes from using self-hypnosis to achieve a state of deep relaxation. When we are relaxed during labour we can actually tap into many amazing hormones that can act like a natural epidural.
This means hypnobirthing mothers are more comfortable and less likely to need medical intervention during birth.
It sounds pretty normal doesn’t it?
Yep, it is :)
This stuff is NOT new … women have been using relaxation techniques, visualisation and various other strategies to tap into their intuitive power since time began.
It’s only been in recent times that this information was collated and taught in organised hypnobirthing courses for modern women.
Your body is built for birth, so embrace this time as an opportunity to connect with your body and your baby.
