HYPNOSIS AND CHILDBIRTH

Safer, more effective method
There are women in other cultures of the world that give birth calmly and quietly. In the western world girls are brought up to perceive birth as extremely painful, caused by cultural expectations. Hypnosis produces calmness and relaxation, physically and mentally, and therefore reduces pain, fluctuating blood pressure, anxiety, stress and nausea.

Hypnosis Sessions
Only 3 sessions are required (not including the free initial consultation). I frequently see their partner or husband once during this time. This is to establish from both, the needs and expectations during the birth, and to give the opportunity for the partner to experience hypnosis. Most of this therapy can be supplemented with the use of CDs at home by the childbearing mother, in her own time and way.

Reduces Labour Time
It is well established that hypnosis reduces the first stage of labour by approximately 2 hours in the multip and possibly between 3 - 4 hours in the primip.

Less analgesic drug therapy required (if any)
Using hypnosis and the techniques therein significantly reduce pain during delivery, if there is need for an analgesic, a reduced amount of drug is effective. Analgesic medication may be a potential risk to the respiration of both mother and baby. It is frequently found that no painkillers are required, as only the sensations experienced will be movement and pressure. Glove anaesthesia is taught during self-hypnosis sessions.

Episiotomy
Due to relaxation during the final stages of labour, there is very little tearing if at all, as no hard anxious pushing has been applied. If an episiotomy is required, suggestion of anaesthesia is used for the peri-anal area by self-hypnosis. (Glove anaesthesia).
