Mongan HypnoBirthing classes
What is HypnoBirthing®?
HypnoBirthing ® is a complete birth education programme in which you will learn all about what your body is really capable of, and is naturally designed to do. You will no longer be frightened of birth, but you will be amazed by the wonder of birthing and actually look forward to it! This class is taught around the world, and was devised nearly 20 years ago by Marie Mongan - the founder of the HypnoBirthing Insitute. Both Sophie and Mia are trained and certified by the HypnoBirthing Institute, and have extensive experience of teaching the programme.
Having done HypnoBirthing and birthed her 8lb 7oz baby with no drugs, Moira told us that "It (the birth) was just perfect. Thanks to all the HypnoBirthing. It worked!.. She (the midwife) was very taken with HypnoBirthing. It was just a superb birth."
Some of the things you will learn:
Firstly:
- Why birthing doesn't have to hurt - and why it often does.
- How your mind can and does affect your body - for better and for worse. You choose.
- See inspiring videos of women birthing easily and comfortably - say good-bye to visions of screaming women digging their nails into their husbands!
About pregnancy:
- Learn about nutrition, exercise in pregnancy and perineal massage.
- Learn ways of really relaxing during pregnancy, using special music which you and your baby will grow to love.
- Learn self-hypnosis techniques, helped by your partner, to use during pregnancy.
Preparing for the birth
- Create the perfect birthing environment for you.
- Write your personal birth plan, and work with the staff to get your best birth.
- How and why to avoid artificial induction of labour.
- Release your fears about your birth - using well established hypnosis techniques.
About the birth
- Learn what your body is doing during the three stages of labour.
- Learn specific and really helpful breathing and visualisation techniques for each of the stages.
