FAQs
What type of birth is hypnobirthing for?
Hypnobirthing is for EVERY birth scenario. There is no right or wrong way to give birth. It’s about having the tools and the knowledge to have a positive birth experience and making decisions that are right for you and your baby.
Many women say it is not how you give birth that matters, it’s how you feel about how you give birth that’s important. Hypnobirthing is based on this premise. This course encourages you to remain open minded and calm, whatever path your birth takes, feeling confident and maintaining control throughout.
What are the benefits of hypnobirthing?
There are now a number of known benefits from practising hypnobirthing including:
◦ Shorter labours
◦ Less or no need for medical pain relief
◦ Less intervention
◦ Improved birth experience
◦ Gentle transition to parenthood
◦ More fulfilling role for birth partners
When is the best time to start?
Anytime from 20 weeks pregnant up until right before birth. Although the sooner you start, the more time you have to prepare body and mind.
Are partners included?
All birth partners are very much encouraged to join and share this journey. They have a key role in supporting a positive birth experience. The course will include specific information for the role of partners and suggest a range of tools to practice and explore.
Will I be hypnotised?
No! A common misconception about hypnobirthing is that you will go into a state where you are not in control of your own actions. This isn’t how hypnobirthing works. Yes, we will discuss practices to support you into a state of deep relaxation through breathing, positive affirmations and visualisations for those who want to use them.
