Hypno Birthing Pain Free Childbirth | Hypnosis for Childbirth

When you talk amongst your friends and family that you are considering hypnosis for childbirth, they might look at you askance.  Hypnosis is often a misunderstood mental state that conjures up images of people doing things against their will, or doing things that cause them embarrassment.  The fact of the matter is, hypnosis cannot make you do things you don’t want to do.  People have to want to be hypnotized and you can always come out of the state whenever you want.

When applied in the medical setting, hypnosis has many benefits.  It can help calm a patient during times of stress.  When women take hypno birth classes, this is exactly what they are doing, learning to keep calm and relaxed and not think of any thoughts relating to fear, tension and pain that would hinder the delivery process.  Hypnosis for childbirth is a self induced hypnotic state.  With the help of her birthing companion (usually the father) who leads the relaxation techniques, he guides the mother to releasing her own natural endorphins which help with the pain management.  This form of self regulation is best for both mother and child as without the drug medications, it helps reduce labor time.  The shorter the labor time period, the less tired the mother is for the actual delivery process.  The mother is truly in control of her own body and the birthing process.

If you are interested in hypno birthing, you might have some questions regarding whether or not you can actually do it.  Since you are researching the process and making informed decisions on your birthing expectations, this makes you the ideal candidate.  Hypno birth mothers are very well informed and want to be active planners in their birth plan.  Hypno birth mothers are also very strong willed which also makes them easier hypnosis candidates ironically.  90-95% of the population can be hypnotized but it takes a strong minded woman to believe that pain is just a matter of mind over matter.  It is in western society that we have portrayed the birthing process as something to be feared and to expect pain.  However, in many other cultures, the birth process is seen as something natural and it is to be celebrated.  Taking this philosophy and unlearning what we have been taught about pain as it relates to birth, a hypno birthing mom can experience a beautiful pain free child birth.
