Hypnosis and Childbirth

A lot of people consider this to be a fairly new use  of hypnosis but I believe that hypnosis has been a part of childbirth since women have been having children. I believe that some mid-wives have been pracitcing this process since time began  More women are once again becoming aware that hypnosis is a safe and a more comfortable way to bring their children into the world.  This can  be done without anesthesia, and drugs and little or no discomfort.

While I have no personal experience with Hypno-Birthing, I have had discussions with Hypno-Birthing specialists and one man who had a daughter who had experienced Hypno-Birthing. Hypno-Birthing is a viable alternative to conventional medical style birthing.  The man who witnessed his daughter’s Hypno-Birthing experience described the event pretty much the same as we have heard people describe the birth of chicldren in some of the Asian country’s where the mother has the child and then goes back to work in the fields.

As I undersand the theory behind Hypno-Birthing, the modern person has been hypnotized into believing that childbirth shoud be a difficult and painful experience,.  Basically, we are told this all of our lives and many people accept this suggestion as true.  It becomes embedded in out subconscious and then we expect the unpleasantness and need for medication and drugs for the process of birthing .  Throughtthe use of hypnosis, women can remove the old programing and learn to expect a pleasant, happy and conscious experience of giving birth to a child. This can be a wonderful and fullfilling experience.

As with any specialty, Hypno-Birthing requires special training.  There are other names for this specialty depending on the trainer.   I have met the people who are involved with Hypno-Birthing but I would expect one type to be as effective as the others.  There are a growing number of instructors and  a growing number of hypnotists trained in this specialty.
