FAQs

What is Hypnobirthing?

Hypnobirthing is a childbirth education method that focuses on self-hypnosis, relaxation, and breathing techniques to help expectant mothers manage pain and anxiety during labour. It promotes a calm and positive birthing experience by preparing both the mind and body for childbirth.

How does Hypnobirthing work?

Hypnobirthing works by teaching you to enter a state of deep relaxation and self-hypnosis, which can reduce fear and tension. This state of relaxation allows the body to function more efficiently during labour, potentially resulting in a shorter and more comfortable birth. The techniques also include visualisations, affirmations, and breathing exercises that help manage pain and keep you focused.

Is Hypnobirthing suitable for everyone?

Yes, hypnobirthing is suitable for most expectant mothers, regardless of whether you plan a natural birth, a medicated birth, or even a Caesarean section.

When should I start Hypnobirthing classes?

It is recommended to start Hypnobirthing classes around 25-30 weeks into your pregnancy. This timing allows ample opportunity to practise and integrate the techniques into your daily routine. However, starting earlier or later can also be beneficial depending on your personal schedule and preferences.

Can my partner be involved in Hypnobirthing?

Absolutely, Partners play a crucial role in Hypnobirthing. They can provide support, help reinforce the techniques, and be an active participant in the birthing process.
The Born This Way Hypnobirthing course includes specific training for partners to ensure they feel confident and involved.

Can Hypnobirthing be used in a clinical setting?

Yes, Hypnobirthing can be used in any birth setting, including hospitals, birthing centres, and at home.
The techniques are adaptable and can be practised wherever you feel most comfortable. It's also helpful to communicate your hypnobirthing plan with your healthcare team so they can support you in labour.
