Surestart South Armagh – Hynobirthing Programme

What is hypnobirthing?

Hypnobirthing will help you learn how to birth your baby comfortably and calmly.

Along with your birth partner you will learn to experience birthing in a safer, stress-free manner.

Through self- hypnosis, special breathing and visualization, Hypnobirthing teaches you to release fear and to trust your body’s ability to birth instinctively.  With hypnobirthing you will not be in a trance or sleep state – you will be aware and fully in control, but profoundly relaxed.

Advantages of Hypnobirthing;

• Teaches deep levels of relaxation to eliminate the fear that causes tension and hence pain
• Greatly reduces and often eliminates the need for chemical painkillers and drugs
• Shortens labour
• Leaves mother alert, fresh awake and with energy after birthing
• Helps parents to become impowered with techniques to achieve a gentle, calm birth for themselves and their baby
• Gives the birthing companion an integral role in the birthing
• Embraces the concept of pre-birth bonding
• Teaches breathing techniques that allows a woman to gently breathe her baby into the world without physical pushing
