IS HYPNOSIS SAFE?The hypnosis we use in HypnoBirthing® is absolutely safe. Hypnosis is simply a state of deep relaxation. All hypnosis is essentially self-hypnosis, whether facilitated by a therapist or not. An individual always chooses to go into hypnosis and remains in control. It’s a bit like watching a really good T.V programme when you are able to tune out things going on around you – that’s hypnosis.
DOES MY HUSBAND/PARTNER NEED TO ATTEND?Yes. Whoever you are planning to be your birth companion should attend the course with you. During the course your partner will learn how to assist you in achieving deep relaxation and be provided with prompts to use at various stages of labour.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO START CLASSES?You can join a class anytime form 25 weeks. Around 30 weeks is ideal as this gives you time to practise and make sure you finish the complete course, even if your baby arrives a little early. Even if you are late in pregnancy, it’s still worth contacting us to see if we can fit you into a course ASAP.
