Why hypnobirthing?

Hypnobirthing probably isn't what you think it is, in fact the worst thing about Hypnobirthing is the name. So, just to clear a few things up-there are no pocket watches and I cannot hypnotize you (although that would be pretty cool).

What Hypnobirthing does do is help to retrain your brain to see birth as a positive and empowering experience. It's not just for home births and hippies it really is for ALL BIRTHS.

 

​I found Hypnobirthing in 2018 when I was pregnant for the first time. I was afraid of giving birth and it bugged me. Why was I frightened? I was designed to this! 

 

Turns out, a lot of us are afraid, we’ve been subjected to years of negativity surrounding childbirth thanks to bad representations in film and the media even documentaries like one born every minute are produced for drama and let's not forget those horror stories we've heard, thanks for those!

 

This isn’t what birth has to look like and that's where Hypnobirthing comes in. It’s a logical, science based approach used to prepare for child birth. It’s stripping it all back to basics, learning about what the body actually does during child birth and how we can work with it to allow labour to progress smoothly and efficiently. Understanding the hormones at play and what we can do to help them is really important.

 

Removing any negative associations we may have surrounding birth helps to retrain the brain to view birth differently, as an empowering/positive experience. Using a logical approach coupled with some AMAZING relaxation techniques plus positive conditioning we can work towards a much more empowering and positive experience.

 

Hypnobirthing also teaches the importance of your birth environment. All birthing mammals, humans included, have basic instincts during birth, these are to feel safe and unobserved. Taking control of our environment can really help this by working with our senses we can learn to feel safe and comfortable in any environment.
