What is hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is the modern day way of giving birth, by educating and empowering pregnant women to create a positive birthing experience that they are proud of by reducing fear and minimising trauma.
If the term hypnobirthing has ever put you off, I urge you to refer to it as Modern Birthing, because that's what it really is.
Hypnobirthing is a generic term used for self-hypnosis in childbirth. This does not mean you will be hypnotised to sleep during the birth of your baby but will feel a deep state of relaxation all whilst being in a heightened sense of awareness and maintaining control so meaning you can come out of self-hypnosis at any time you wish.
The word “hypno” part of hypnobirthing refers to the hypnotherapy that we teach in this course to release any fears and to also condition ourselves to release natural pain-relieving hormone know as endorphins.
Hormones play a large factor in birthing our babies and they are here to help you through your birth. Preparing your mind and body for a positive birth is why you should consider Hypnobirthing Australia Positive Program. The “hypno” tools that we teach can be used to release fear during the antenatal stage and within your birth and continue to integrate into your postpartum and daily life.
Common FAQ's
Will I be in a state of hypnosis during my birth?
No. Like I said before, hypnobirthing is a generic term used for self-hypnosis in childbirth. This does not mean you will be hypnotised to sleep during the birth of your baby but will feel a deep state of relaxation all whilst being in a heightened sense of awareness and maintaining control so meaning you can come out of self-hypnosis at any time you wish.
Hypnobirthing tools and techniques are similar to deep focus and meditation, but you are always in control.
Can Hypnobirthing work for c-sections?
Absolutely. Hypnobirthing is not about having a drug-free vaginal birth as many people still believe.
Hypnobirthing allows you to create a calm, positive birthing experience regardless of the outcome.
Having a positive mindset and being well informed of tools, techniques and scenarios is what makes up a hypnobirthing course.
What does the course cover?
The program covers a range of modern evidenced-based techniques and tools such as:
• Relaxation techniques
• Breathing
• Visualisations
• Acupressure
• Movements
• Touch techniques
And much more knowledge to prepare the mindset and prepare women and their support partners in the lead up to birth feeling positive and not fearing birth.
The program teaches you the physiology of our amazing bodies during birth and guides you to understand and trust that we are made to birth our babies.
When is the best time to complete a course?
The most ideal time to attend a class is between 20-33 weeks of your pregnancy. This way you have time to practice the techniques we teach you. However, any time prior to your birth is acceptable and we can make it work that you are given the most appropriate class to help you achieve a positive birth experience. If you are later in your pregnancy and wanting to do the course, please contact me so we can get the course done prior.
