hypnobirthing vs. lamaze?

barcelonagirl · September 2010

My hospital offers two childbirthing classes: Hypnobirthing and traditional Lamaze.

Does anyone have any pros and cons about either class/technique?

TIA

I have a friend doing hypnobirthing as well and she loves it. In addition I've read the sporadic breathing of Lamaze can actually stress out the baby.

Hypnobirthing is discussed a lot on the natural birth board - you may get a lot of responses over there.

My sister just finished the hypnobabies birth classes and she LOVED them. They give you a lot of at home work as well to fully prepare the body and mind for the birth process.

I took Lamaze, but I read all of the hypnobirthing books. I LOVED the hypnobirthing, and think it was probably what kept me from needing drugs, BUT, I still used some of the lamaze.

I've been reading the Hypnobirthing book, listening to the CD too. I haven't taken the class yet. I think it's wonderful and has even helped me get rid of round ligament pains I was getting.

Hmmm, since I'm planning home birth I wonder if I should look into hypnobirthing. I've done lamaze which was okay but I'd like something that helps me focus completely.
