HypnoBirthing: Relax while giving birth?
August 12th, 2011
Instead of contractions, they’re called surges. And don’t call it labor, it’s birthing. When the discomfort of childbirth kicks in, it’s pressure — not pain.
The philosophy behind HypnoBirthing is to remove the fear of giving birth, its practitioners say. They believe that by training themselves to calm their body and mind to a state of self-hypnosis, they can reduce pain and discomfort.
It’s another trend in birthing that gives women the opportunity to prepare for childbirth such as Lamaze classes, yoga and the Bradley method.
