Child Birth Services
The knowledge and application
of hypnosis during pregnancy has been proven beneficial
for a positive childbirth experience. Hypnosis
is used to bring on a sense of peaceful relaxation.
The body and mind are in sync and less prone to
stress, anxiety, nausea. This in turn assists
in maintaining a normal blood pressure level.
Some advantages of hypnosis for childbirth include:
- decreased labor time
- conservation of energy
- reduction in pain and complications
- elimination or reduction of analgesic
drug therapy
|
- a peaceful and calm birthing
- minimal tearing occurring during labor
due to relaxation of pelvic floor muscles
- baby and mother more relaxed and tranquil
- reduced possibility of post-natal
depression
|
Ideally, hypnosis should be initiated early in
the pregnancy with monthly sessions up until delivery.
However, as stated by Dr. David Brown M.B., ChB.,
M.D., in Hypnosis For A Woman’s Health (2004)
“…even two sessions, in the author’s
[Dr. Brown] experience, are enough to help a woman
feel more comfortable and calm in an uncomplicated
delivery. (See also Hypnosis)
