HypnoBirthing®
Hypobirthing Couple
Over the years there have been many ‘methods’ of childbirth. Even though this word ‘HypnoBirthing®’ may conjure up thoughts of being hypnotized during labour and not remembering your birth, it is, in fact, quite the opposite. It was founded by Marie Mongan, who states:- “The HypnoBirthing® program, explodes the myth of pain as a natural accompaniment to birth. It proves that when we release the fear, a fear that is keeping our body tense and closed, we will experience gentle birth. The HypnoBirthing® program is nature, not manipulation. It relaxes the mind in order to let the body work. The HypnoBirthing® exercises – positive thinking, relaxation, visualization, breathing and physical preparation – will lead to a happy and comfortable pregnancy. Your confidence, trust and happy anticipation will in turn lead to the peaceful, fulfilling and life-affirming birth that is your right as a mother.”
At Birth Right™ we believe the relaxation that is learned in HypnoBirthing® classes is a useful life skill. You can take these exercises and apply them to all aspects of your life. It can be especially beneficial when you are a new parent and learning to breastfeed.
