How can Hypnosis help you prepare for the birth?

In your normal waking state you use a part of your mind which evaluates all things around you and is rational, critical and analytical. That is the conscious part of the mind.
However when you are in a day dream like state (hypnosis) another part of your mind becomes more active. That is the subconscious and is the part of you that is responsible for all the things we do automatically, such as the beating of your heart, hormone production, elimination system and giving birth. In addition it is the part which stores all your memories, emotions, fears and anxiety.
Using hypnosis, you can access the subconscious easily to deal with, and overcome fear and anxiety associated with pregnancy and labour, and to increase self confidence and trust in your body’s natural ability to give birth.
By practicing Hypnosis (being deeply relaxed and listening to positive suggestions and imagery) daily before the birth, you are effectively “rehearsing” or "experiencing" in your mind a calm, instinctive birth over and over again. As the mind does not know the difference between things you have imagined and reality, when the actual birth begins, your mind and body are familiar and comfortable with the rehearsed responses and so reacts accordingly. In addition, the hypnosis is conditioning your body to be relaxed and calm no matter what is going on around you.

Therefore, the hypnosis suggestions create a pre programmed response for the birth which is to be relaxed, involved and in control, being conversant when necessary and aware of the experience. Being so relaxed leaves no room for the fear and tension, which are the main cause of pain. This calm state increases your natural pain killers (endorphins), increases the flow of oxygen to your baby and to your muscles, so making contractions more effective, which in turn reduces the need for intervention.

It is recommended that you attend a course between 28—38 weeks of pregnancy.



How is this course different from others?

Most antenatal courses focus on “what is available” - and discuss the theory of giving birth, hospital procedures, the kind of pain relief available and what to do when things go wrong.

Other courses may talk about the importance of being relaxed, overcoming fears, importance of breathing etc. However as they are all taught at a conscious level, the information does not always filter through to the all important store house, or subconscious and so does not actually help the couples address their own concerns. Quite often all the information can simply enhance or even create new fears rather than help you over come them. 

The Natal Hypnotherapy™ course is focused more on how to have the birth experience that is right for you. The course covers all the key information you need regarding the physiology of birth, however it also focuses heavily on the emotions of birth. The course is tailored to each individual, allowing them to overcome their particular concerns and to prepare for the birth in the way that is appropriate to their circumstances.

In addition, as much of the course is done using hypnosis, the key elements are absorbed by the subconscious level and so bypass the critical, analytical conscious part of the mind.

Is this a HypnoBirthing® course?

No, Natal Hypnotherapy™ is not part of the US HypnoBirthing® group.  Natal Hypnotherapy™ has been developed in the UK by its founder, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Maggie Howell.  The techniques have been developed organically through her own experiences of using them for four births, through her work as a hypnotherapist and Doula and her work with leading birth specialists including Michael Odent, Ina May Gaskin and Sheila Kitzinger.

Both HypnoBirthing and Natal Hypnotherapy use professional hypnosis techniques to help couples prepare for the birth and both teach how relaxation, hypnosis and overcoming fear can drastically reduce the level of pain and help the couple feel and be more confident and in control.
