What Makes Hypnobabies Different from Other
Childbirth Hypnosis Programs?
Lots of everything!
Lots of content, lots of scripts, lots of attention to the partner.
AND, the 'Eyes Open Hypnosis' technique, which allows birthing women to move and speak while remaining deeply in hypnosis and fully comfortable.
The Hypnobabies course offers a complete childbirth education program, including comprehensive coverage of the pre-natal, birth and early parenting time.
Parents learn practices for staying healthy and low risk. They receive an in-depth nutrition and exercise program. They learn about the anatomy and physiology of birth, and optimal fetal positioning. They are taught how to avoid back labor and turn posterior babies. They are shown how to make informed birthing choices, and learn birth empowerment skills. Birth partners receive full training and receive Quick Reference handouts for labor. Mothers and their partners participate in an in-class birthing rehearsal where they practice their Hypnobabies childbirth hypnosis techniques. Newborn care, breastfeeding, and postpartum care for mothers are also covered.
The Hypnobabies course offers training in self-hypnosis, including hypno-anesthesia:
Students receive detailed instruction in self-hypnosis, and nine CDs with multiple scripts which are used for specific purposes. By listening to a selection of hypnotic childbirth scripts every day, mothers come to perceive labor as easy and comfortable, contractions as only pressure, and pushing as easy and efficient. Regular practice increases the effectiveness of the techniques and the comfort the woman experiences during labor. Women are taught how to enter deep hypnosis instantly, and regular practice of this technique assures that they can use it as needed. The Hypnobabies 'eyes open hypnosis' technique allows women to switch between profound, sonambulistic repose and an eyes open, mobile state that allows them to drink, eat, talk, use the restroom, etc, while still being in hypnosis and experiencing complete comfort.
The Hypnobabies course offers specific information for partners:
Partners receive information and training that helps them to understand what the moms are doing, and they are given specific strategies and techniques for supporting the moms during pregnancy and childbirth. Partners also receive training in techniques they can use to help themselves stay calm and grounded — both during the pregnancy and birth — and beyond.
The Hypnobabies courses come with lots and lots of materials:
Parents who take the in-class course receive a 218 page student workbook that covers all the content on childbirth and self-hypnosis; seven instructional hypnosis scripts on CD and six on paper; two additional birthing hypnosis CDs that are used specifically during labor, and many handouts. Birth partners receive a Birth Partner's Guide Booklet, a Quick Reference Guide for use during labor, and a 'Relax & Be Confident' CD.
The Hypnobabies course can be taken two ways: as a home-study course, or as an in-class course.
Both courses work well, but they are not identical. Parents who are able to attend the in-class course will receive more information.
