A mother can use self-hypnosis techniques to help her relax during child birth. While other mom’s may need the assistance from their coach, spouse, or a licensed hypnotherapist. Also, there are self-guided classes or training available, such as hypnobirthing CD’s and Hypnobabies.
What are some of the benefits to using hypnosis during child birth?
- Women who use hypnosis feel calmer, more relaxed, and have an easier birth experience.
- Teaches you how to over-come the “Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome”.
- Learn that your body and baby know what to do during child birth.
- Use natural pain killers that your brain creates to reduce pain in the body. Instead of using drugs or an epidural, which has side effects that affect both mom and baby.
- Create a birthing experience that is calm, relaxed, and joyous rather than tensed or stressful.
- Learn how to gently birth your baby which can reduce the need for an episiotomy.
- Allow you to stay alert and awake during child birth.

In 2008, very skeptical, yet wanted to be ‘open’ minded; I conversed with a woman who did the hypno-birthing and thought the experience was incredible, she herself a nurse, wanted to learn how to work with women on helping them to have a hypnobirthing experience… I decided to give it a try… best decision EVER! the experience was incredible! Thanks you for sharing; I think all women wanting to have a baby should know that this is an option.
Thank you for sharing your story Amy.
HypnoBirthing was NOT created BY Dr Grantley Dick-Read, but his writings inspired Mickey and others to create programs based on the fact that birth does not have to be a fearful event within a woman’s life. By releasing the fear surrounding birth, woman can embrace their bodies and babies and birth as nature intended. HypnoBirthing(R) is an AMAZING tool for women to utilize in their labor and their life…yes, it becomes a life tool! I taught Bradley for 19 years and then certified with HypnoBirthing(R) and have never looked back….it is just wonderful. I am a Maternal Child Health Nurse and have seen it used within hospital settings, birth centers and homebirths…even c-sections for relaxation. It works… and there are many others trying to imitate it…but don’t be confused…HypnoBirthing(R)-The Mongan Method is the original and the best out there.
There were several who contributing to founding the Hypnobirthing Method per Wikipedia. Thank you for sharing this information for my readers. I hope that my article is informative and can help women who want to use this method during childbirth.
