PregnancyHypnosis is an extremely powerful tool that can help during pregnancy and childbirth. It has been used in clinics in the United States for some time to aid conception by reducing anxiety, and some women who were experiencing morning sickness, heartburn, excess weight gain, headaches and leg cramps have found it helpful.
Besides these advantages, when the time comes to give birth to your baby, hypnotherapy can help the pregnant woman to be less anxious and to be more in control. By learning self hypnosis during the pregnancy, the woman will be able to use techniques which will help her to be in control of her level of pain during labour.This is similar to the hypnobirthing approach.
If a woman feels out of control she may experience fear and anxiety, which would cause stress hormones to be released including adrenalin. This in turn could cause tension in the muscles resulting in more painful contractions.
With the use of deep relaxation, the woman is more able to be calm and relaxed about this normal procedure. A calm mind is likely to result in effective contractions and manageable levels of discomfort. With relaxation you are more likely to breathe effectively and have sufficient levels of oxygen to help the natural birth hormones to be released, which in turn help the mother to remain calm and stable.
Mothers using hypnotherapy have found they recover quickly after the birth of their baby. It can also assist with bonding and is believed to help prevent post-natal depression.
These techniques are being used by some midwives in hospital, but by starting the hypnotherapy earlier in pregnancy you will be able to gain the maximum benefits.
I am able to offer a complete pregnancy package of four sessions, one in early pregnancy, one at about seven months, one at eight months and a final one at eight and a half months (all times are approximate and can be changed to suit your circumstances) You will also be provided with four CDs. One of these will be of music for the birth, and the other three will be of sessions to reinforce the therapy and there is a post natal CD to help you after the birth.Hypnobirthing can make a huge difference to your birth experience empowering you, to understand and work with your birthing body.
By using hypnotherapy you will know that you are taking positive steps to help your pregnancy and birth process run as smoothly as possible.
I also offer Maternity reflexology and these therapies combine well to assist you with your mental and physical preparations.
