Childbirth Hypnotherapy - Natural & Positive | Mind Matters

Hypnosis and Childbirth,
the positive and natural way

In today's society

We don’t hear stories of pleasant, natural and positive births - we only hear the stories we don’t want to hear.  Combine that with the vast amount of information we can seek out about what ‘might go wrong’, and inevitably, that leads to some anxiety about giving birth.  That anxiety gradually builds up fear.

Those Natural Highs

The natural labour process produces endorphins, oxytocin and prolactin. These chemicals start the contractions of the uterus and help you cope with any discomfort. Only in the final stages of labour is adrenaline required to push the baby out.

Adrenaline

Adrenaline is the chemical product of fear and anxiety – this will interrupt the body in its carefully co-ordinated production of endorphins and oxytocin so vital to the natural process of childbirth. In extreme cases, fear can over-ride all the systems and shut the labour process down.

And this is the last time we talk about pain

We also know that you feel pain more acutely when you are in a state of anxiety and that you manage pain more effectively when in a calm state of relaxation.

Who and when?

At Mind Matters Hypnotherapy we see expectant mums, couples and groups (it is nice for the partner to attend so that they can learn to help induce and deepen the trance).

It is best to start the hypnobirthing course at about 34 weeks (slightly earlier for groups), giving both you and your partner time to learn and practice inducing the hypnotic state, recognising the signs of hypnosis, using deepeners, anchors and post hypnotic suggestions.

The skills you'll have

This will ensure on the day of the birth of your next child, you are able to hypnotise yourself automatically, and your partner can deepen the trance state with ease - inducing and deepening a hypnotic trance will be like second nature to you both so that you can experience the absolute pleasure of a natural birth.

Remember this:-

  • Your subconscious is pre-programmed and knows how to give birth
  • There are no expectations, only flexibility
  • Labour is different for everyone
  • However long your labour takes, is right for you
  • Each contraction is another step closer to seeing your baby
  • Trust the subconscious
