Our hospital offers 5 - 2 hr classes on hypnosis for childbirth - you will learn how the mind and body are connected and work together to help you birth in comfort and awareness. Become empowered to trust your body to birth naturally. Increase confidence, release fears, and learn techniques to use relaxation and self-hypnosis to have the birth you have been dreaming about. Has anyone taken this class or thinking about it?  We are kind of skeptic.

    I did not, but I do mediation.  That helped me a lot, I was able to get to another level pretty quickly.  I also used lavender from the begining to help me relax, so when I smelled it I was able to relax a lot sooner.

    I was induced, but did have a med free birth.

    Let me know if you have more questions.

    A family friend did it 30 years ago and said it was great.  She's really into hypnosis though and spent most of her career helping the dying deal with pain.

    I couldn't get into much of all that natural childbirth stuff. The practice breathing, meditation.... but I was GOING to have natural deliveries come hell or high water.  And I did.  Twice.  In my own way... 


    We are all powerful even if you are skeptical of specific methods.
