| Using Hypnosis for Pregnancy
and Childbirth |
| Women are constantly bombarded with negative stories about
childbirth – told that it is the most painful thing they will ever do in their
lives – told all the gory details of births that had complications – told
about all the medical intervention that could occur. It’s no wonder women get
anxious and worried about it. It’s no wonder they are tense and unable to
relax. It’s no wonder that the "pain" of childbirth becomes a
self-fulfilling prophecy!
But, it need not be like that. Childbirth is a natural
process – one that women’s bodies were designed for. Hypnosis helps you:
-
to put things in their true perspective.
-
to relax, stay calm and in control. In a calm, relaxed state your muscles
and skin can stretch easily and naturally in a pain-free way.
-
to stay focused on the process that your body is going through and
be in tune with what your body and your intuition is telling you.
-
to be healthy and sleep well,
-
to heal quickly and recover
faster,
-
to be happy and have confidence in your abilities as a
mother
-
to
experience Post-Natal Happiness!!
-
to boost the power of IVF
or help you to conceive naturally.

Babies
in the womb benefit when the mother is relaxed and calm - a mother's anxiety
can be transmitted to the unborn child - so naturally, a mother's calmness
can be transferred too.

Remember:
Pregnancy and childbirth are remarkable and wonderful. So, enjoy it and give
your child the best start you can.

Enjoy
your pregnancy
and
have wonderfully
natural
childbirth
