Self-Hypnosis in Childbirth

This is a course for mother and partner to prepare them for the birth and teaching them to use self-hypnosis before and during labour.

Courses run for 4 weeks of approximately 1½ hours from 30 weeks of pregnancy.

Some of the reported benefits of Hypnosis for childbirth are:

• Improved sleep prior and after
• Reduction of heartburn
• Control of blood pressure
• Removal of fear and anxiety
• Less need for induction of labour
• Shorter labour – the resistance of birthing muscles due to pain is reduced
• A more relaxed mother throughout the birthing process
