Safer, more effective method.
There are women in other cultures of the world that give birth calmly and quietly.
In the western world girls are brought up to perceive birth as extremely painful,
caused by cultural expectations. Hypnosis produces
calmness and relaxation, physically and mentally, and therefore reduces pain, fluctuating
blood pressure,
anxiety, stress and nausea.
Hypnosis Sessions.
Only 3 sessions are required (not including the free initial consultation). I frequently
see their partner or husband once during this time. This is to establish from both,
the needs and expectations during the birth, and to give the opportunity for the
partner to experience hypnosis. Most of this therapy is continued with the use of
cassette tapes at home by the childbearing mother, in her own time and way.
Reduces Labour Time.
It is well established that hypnosis reduces the first stage of labour by approximately
2 hours in the multip and possibly between 3 - 4 hours in the primip.
Less analgesic drug therapy required (if any)
Using hypnosis and the techniques therein significantly reduce pain during delivery,
if there is need for an
analgesic, a reduced amount of drug is effective. Analgesic medication may be a potential
risk to the respiration of both mother and baby. It is frequently found that no painkillers
are required, as only the sensations experienced will be movement and pressure. Glove
anaesthesia is taught during self-hypnosis sessions.
Episiotomy
Due to relaxation during the final stages of labour, there is very little tearing
if at all, as no hard anxious pushing has been applied. If an episiotomy is required,
suggestion of anaesthesia is used for the peri-anal area by self-hypnosis.
