Hypnobirthing

What is Hypnobirthing?

Hypnobirthing prepares you in a way so that you can handle your birth no matter what twists and turns your birth journey may take. It teaches you to take control of your own birth, to make informed choices, to feel empowered, calm and positive. However you give birth, Hypnobirthing will be beneficial to you.

If you experience a stressful pregnancy you will be sharing stress hormones such as adrenalin and cortisol with your baby. If this is due to prolonged and severe stress this can be detrimental to the unborn baby’s development. When stress hormones run very high women are less likely to conceive and more likely to miscarry. Babies are more likely to be born premature and underweight and they are more likely to experience developmental delay. Hypnobirthing, therefore, is an investment in yourself and in your baby. It will help you to develop skills that will not only lead to a calmer pregnancy, it will also help you to prepare physically and mentally for a day that you will remember for the rest of your life.
