STOP PRESS:  My grandson,  Jacob Aidan, born 18th November 2007 using HypnoBirthing.

 

What is HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method?

HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method, is a unique method of relaxed, natural childbirth education, enhanced by hypnosis techniques, providing the missing link, that allows women to use their natural instincts to bring about a safer, easier, more comfortable birthing in a way that most mirrors nature. Emphasis is placed on both pregnancy and childbirth as well as on HypnoBirthing®. As a birthing method, HypnoBirthing® is as new as tomorrow and as old as ancient times. It is presented in five childbirth classes.

Returning childbirth to the beautiful, calm and natural experience that nature intended.

Now in its seventeenth year, HypnoBirthing® provides pregnant couples with all the information that they need to have the most comfortable, enjoyable, loving and natural childbirth that they are able to. Over the course of approximately 12 hours teaching and practical work each couple will prepare both physically and psychologically for their forthcoming birth. Groups sizes are small enough to ensure that all individual needs are met, and that every mother feels fully confident in her ability to use all the resources that she has learned and practiced using HypnoBirthing® 

Some of the things you will learn include:

  • HypnoBirthing® is a complete programme that teaches simple techniques for self hypnosis, relaxation and breathing  for childbirth

  • How to experience the birth of your baby in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free of the fear and tension that prevent your birthing muscles from functioning as nature intended them to

  • The joys of communicating and bonding with your unborn baby 

  • Massage techniques to help release endorphins (for the "feel good" factor)

  • Visualisation techniques to help you to work confidently with your body

  • Skills to include building your confidence so that you can be in control

  • How severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labour, 

  • How to release any fear or concerns that you have about the birth and being a parent

  • How to deal with any trauma from previous births

  • Different positions that can be used to shorten labour

Some of the key benefits include:

  • A much less stressful, calm, secure peaceful experience.  Everyone is much calmer

  • The first stage of labour is shortened

  • Promotes bonding of the mother, birthing partner and baby

  • Eliminates (or greatly reduces) the need for chemical pain killers, leaving the mother and baby more alert and less stressed

  • More rapid post natal recovery

Whatever kind of birth you're planning - whether at home or in hospital,  HypnoBirthing® can help
