Hypnotherapy
can help you with childbirth fears and
worries before the birth and allow you to feel more in
control during labour itself. A programme of 3 sessions (very
similar to hypnobirthing) incorporates positive visualisation and
suggestions whilst in hypnosis to encourage relaxation and alter your
perception of the birth. Expectant mums are also taught self hypnosis
techniques – easier to master than you may think! To support
the process 4 CD’s are provided for a calmer childbirth experience.
If you have left it late in your pregnancy to consider the option of hypnotherapy
and do not have time to schedule the whole programme of sessions before
your baby’s birth, then even one or two sessions of the relaxed
childbirth programme will be of benefit to you.
Partners
are encouraged to be part of the Relaxed Childbirth programme whereby
they can attend one of the sessions for joint relaxation helping them
to feel part of the process (as often fathers feel excluded or of no help
during labour). An extra session can be added on if need be to deal with
any of the partner’s personal fears or worries.
- Less or no medication needed
- Often a faster arrival time for the baby and easier delivery (because your mind is calm and your body more relaxed)
- Faster bonding with baby and parents (before and after the birth)
- Release fears and worries
- Have a happy, relaxed childbirth with you in charge
- Reduce the likelihood of antenatal and post natal depression
“Having felt very out of control during my first birth, I wanted to achieve an increased sense of wellbeing the second time around. The self-hypnosis techniques Emily taught me helped me to relax during the last few weeks of a difficult pregnancy. The techniques were very useful in helping me to control my breathing and maintain low stress levels during contractions and to assist me in dealing with any discomfort with minimal medical intervention. I would definitely recommend Emily's Relaxed Childbirth Programme to friends and would use the techniques again in other aspects of my life. Many thanks for your help in giving me such a positive birth experience". Lauren Saunders, Buckingham
