Hypnobirthing

We had our very first Hypnobirthing class last night. I have been trying to find a class near us for months now. I was delighted to find one just 20 minutes away. We were afraid we would have to go to the next city to take the class. I just hope I make it through all of the five classes. I will be 39 weeks for the last class!

What is Hypnobirthing?

(From their website http://www.hypnobirthing.com/) Hypnobirthing is a unique method of relaxed, natural childbirth education, enhanced by self-hypnosis techniques. HypnoBirthing® provides the missing link that allows women to use their natural instincts to bring about a safer, easier, more comfortable birthing. Emphasis is placed on pregnancy and childbirth, as well as on pre-birth parenting and the consciousness of the pre-born baby. As a birthing method, HypnoBirthing® is as new as tomorrow and as old as ancient times.

Our first class was wonderful! The instructor spent time explaining to us how our bodies work during birth and we began learning how to breathe to help ourselves relax. By the time class ended we were all quite relaxed.

I can't wait for the next class.
