The International Network of HypnoBirthing® Practitioners is forwarding the message of calm and gentle births in 32 countries throughout the world. However, there are practitioners offering programs that attempt to replicate HypnoBirthing®. If you are seeking childbirth education classes for labour and birthing using HypnoBirthing®, be sure that the person you have contacted has been trained and certified by the HypnoBirthing® Institute. As a birthing method, HypnoBirthing® is as new as tomorrow and as old as ancient times.
There is no magic to achieving success with self-hypnosis. Almost anyone who chooses to can reach deep relaxation and redirected their focus.
When having your baby with HypnoBirthing®, what you will experience is similar to daydreaming. You will be able to engage in conversation and enjoy your experience. You will be totally relaxed, but fully in control. You will be aware of your body and will be able to control the extent to which you feel any surges. You will experience your birthing in an atmosphere of calm, relaxation and your body's natural endorphins will work in harmony to help bring relief, naturally. When it is time for you baby to be born, you will be fully awake and in control.
