Hypnobirthing Brisbane
What is Hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is a comprehensive birth education program that covers the physiological process of birth. Once you understand how the body works during labour and birth, you will learn how to prepare your mind to work in harmony with your body.
Hypnobirthing is different to standard antenatal classes, as it teaches you strategies to make birth as natural and comfortable as possible. Using tools such as self-hypnosis, relaxation, visualization, breathing and massage, helps keep you and your baby relaxed during labour, promoting a calm birth experience. This can help reduce the time of active labour and potential intervention. As you practice these skills in the lead up to your birth, your confidence will build and fears will naturally dissipate.
We provide a set of MP3 hypnosis downloads for you to listen to during pregnancy and throughout labour. We will also do several hypnosis sessions within the class and encourage partners to try it. When you’re under hypnosis, you usually feel calm and relaxed, and are more open to suggestions. This helps you to let go of fears about birth and replace those fears with positive thoughts. Hypnosis is great throughout labour as it distorts time and an hour can feel like five minutes. When you are in a hypnotic state, your brainwaves drop down to alpha or theta which is the restful brainwave before you drop into delta, which is deep sleep, providing the much needed rest even during labour to ensure you do not become exhausted.
In our hypnobirthing classes we use the Hypnobirthing Australia™ program, which is not only empowering for mums, but also incredibly empowering for their birth partners. Partners learn how to help you utilize the tools you have gained throughout your hypnobirthing classes, becoming confident to advocate for you during your labour, so that you can focus on birthing your baby. You will watch some beautiful, calm and peaceful hypnobirths and see the techniques being used by labouring mums and their birth partners, in a way that helps to bring it all together.
The course is endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives, supported by caregivers and hospitals, and is becoming the fastest growing birth education class in Australia.
