Hypnobirthing
Hypnobirthing is a technique to support labour, from early stages all the way through to baby being born. It is fundamentally based on the mind and body connection and tapping into the meditative part of our brain to allow for calm and focus in times of pressure. Rooted in mindfulness this approach not only helps to calm our nervous system and focus inwards it also has proven affects to help with pain and discomfort. This approach is absolutely not only for a vaginal birth, this can be used alongside medical assistance, it can be used for elective and emergency caesarean sections, this technique is applicable to all births and all scenarios.
Hypnobirthing is not just for first time parents, it is perfectly suited to second or third time parents especially if your previous birth didn’t go as you’d hoped, or if you are planning for a VBAC or home birth and want to completely reframe your previous experience.
