Pregnant women going into labor have several options to choose from when it comes to pain management. They can choose to go the all-natural route. They can choose to get an epidural or pain medication.
Unfortunately, I didn’t know at the time of my own labor that there is an alternative method to approaching the birthing process: Childbirth Hypnosis, or HypnoBirthing. Hypnobirthing is a philosophy centered around the idea that FEAR is the primary cause of pain during childbirth. It uses gentle, calm self-hypnosis techniques that promote relaxation and pain management.
Let’s face it, in these modern times, women are not accustomed to pain. We’ve invented all sorts of nifty procedures and medications to make the birthing process easier. But when you really think about it, a natural birth is what our bodies were MADE to do. Childbirth Hypnosis helps to bring us back to this basic concept of womanhood and motherhood; back to our primal, natural roots.
