What is hypnobirthing?
The name ‘hypnobirthing’ does it a bit of a disservice as it makes it sound really airy fairy, which it isn’t. Hypnobirthing is logical, informative and evidence-based antenatal education. It teaches you the science of what is happening in the human body and mind during labour and birth, the role hormones play during this process and birth gives you a ‘tool kit’ of techniques for dealing with the evolving scenario of pregnancy, labour and birth. It isn’t just relaxations and breathing, although they do play their part. Hypnobirthing teaches you about the medical system birth has evolved to happen within and encourages you to make informed, calm, confident choices for your birth that are right for you and your baby.
Is hypnobirthing right for me?
Yes, knowledge is power. The knowledge and confidence you and your birth partner gain from investing in a Positive Birth Leeds course can be used in any birth scenario, all births are different and hypnobirthing isn’t just for one specific type of birth, it is for all births, whatever your preference may be, however it might pan out. I honestly believe everyone can benefit from completing a hypnobirthing course.
