Pregnancy and childbirth are one of the most natural experiences a woman can go through. But many women worry about being pregnant and giving birth often finding it a less than satisfying experience.

So why is this? Well for many women it is expectation, we have heard our mother, friends, relatives and other women say how long they were in labour, how painful it was and the complications they had. So we expect to have these ourselves. It doesn't have to be that way.

Hypnosis for childbirth teaches you relaxation techniques and self hypnosis and will go through any expectations or issues you and your partner/birthing coach may have.

Women who use hypnosis in childbirth often feel calmer and more relaxed which helps reduce

• Pain

• Fluctuating blood pressure

• Anxiety

• Stress

• Nausea

Women who use hypnosis in childbirth also tend to report reduced labour times and the use of less (if any) analgesic drugs.
