Hynobirthing - Pain & Drug Free Childbirth

Hypnobirthing - Pain & Drug Free Childbirth

Women in Western societies have adopted the belief that the birthing process should be painful, but it’s actually fear itself that causes the pain. Fear causes tension. Tension causes pain. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. When the fear-tension-pain cycle begins, true pain is experienced and the natural progression of labor may be impeded, requiring additional intervention.

The extreme relaxation of HypnoBirthing® has the opposite effect- promoting the natural release of the body’s own endorphins, which are 200 times stronger than morphine.

Now there is a technique available here that offers an often pain-free option without the use of medications. Not only are the women birthing without drugs, they are aware and in full control, but proprofoundly relaxed. They learn to trust that their bodies know how to bring their babies into the world in the calm, gentle way that Nature intended.

HypnoBirthing® Advantages:

  • Teaches deep levels of relaxation to eliminate the fear that causes tension and thus, pain.
  • Greatly reduces and often eliminates the need for chemical painkillers and drugs.
  • Leaves mother alert, fresh, awake and with energy.
  • Helps keep oxygen supplied to baby during birthing.
  • Reduces the need for an episiotomy.
  • Reduces and often eliminates fatigue during labor.
  • Teaches breathing techniques that allow a woman to gently breathe her baby into the world.
