Love Affair With Baby Hypno Birth
Hypno Labor is the use of hypnotherapy during childbirth to lessen anxiety, increase comfort and promote relaxation. Often hypnosis will decrease pain and speed up delivery. The use of hypnosis can be done with a hypnotherapist present or with recordings made by yourself, baby daddy or a professional.
What is Hypno Labor and How Does It Work?
Hypnosis uses the power of suggestion to cause a person to enter a wonderful state of calm. During labor, a woman can be led into relaxation using positive affirmations, suggestions, and visualizations that will allow her to control her breathing, relax her body and quiet her thoughts which in turn helps her to store energy for the task at hand. It's very important to add here that at no time does the woman lose control of her body. She can come out of relaxation at any time if she chooses to. She is always aware of her surroundings, she just chooses to remain calm.
If you decide to utilize hypno labor, seek guidance from a trained hypnotherapist who will either teach you self-hypnosis, accompany you during labor or provide you with a script to read as you record your voice.
The Benefits of Hypno Labor
Hypno Labor will enable you to reduce or eliminate the need for pharmaceuticals during delivery. This will allow to you be alert and ready when baby arrives. Involving dad in the hypnotherapy process goes a long way in bonding during childbirth. He can record the hypnotherapy script or learn how to perform hypnosis.
This is not a gung ho article to discourage the use of pain relievers, just an option for mamas seeking alternatives!
