PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH
Every expectant parent's dream is for a peaceful, comfortable, safe and satisfying birth. HypnoBirthing® does just that. In pregnancy and childbirth, hypnotic conditioning for calm, peace and relaxation, combined with positive information and expectation enable the mother to use her natural birthing instincts for a serene and comfortable birth. Unpleasant tension and fear of delivery is replaced with a feeling of confidence and control. Birthing muscles work in perfect harmony, while endorphins replace stress hormones and create the body’s own natural epidural.
In a study of over 3000 deliveries it was concluded that hypnotically prepared patients are confident, relaxed and comfortable through-out pregnancy, birthing and delivery. They require no (or significantly reduced) analgesia or anaesthesia, have fewer complications, a higher frequency of normal, full-term deliveries and a more positive post-partum adjustment.
HypnoBirthing® is the greatest gift you can give to you and your baby. It not only provides a safe, peaceful and inspiring birth, it creates a strong bond between Baby, Mother and Birth Companion to give you a peaceful and loving beginning.
Widely acclaimed as the most remarkable method to come on the birthing scene in decades, HypnoBirthing is changing the way expectant parents and medical professionals view birthing. HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method is as much a philosophy as it is a technique.
Through self-hypnosis, breathing, & visualization, HypnoBirthing® teaches you to release all prior programming about birth, how to trust your body and work with it, as well as how to free yourself of harmful emotions that lead to pain-causing fear.
You will learn how to achieve this kind of relaxation, free of the resistance that fear creates, and learn to use your natural birthing instincts for a calm, peaceful and comfortable birthing.
When you have your baby with HypnoBirthing®, you will be conversant and in good spirits – totally relaxed, but fully in control. Awake throughout, you will be aware of your body’s surges; but because you will have trained yourself to reach complete relaxation, free of the fear and tension that prevents the muscles of your body from functioning as nature intended them to. In this calm state your body’s natural relaxant, endorphins, replaces the stress hormones that constrict and cause pain.
Daily Affirmations will help you achieve easier, more comfortable birthing. When a woman is properly prepared for childbirth and when body and mind are in harmony, nature is free to function in the same manner that it does with all animal mothers in nature.
