HypnoBirthing
HypnoBirthing is a way for pregnant women to achieve a relaxing, stress-free and satisfying birthing experience. In HypnoBirthing classes pregnant mothers-to-be will learn techniques to access their birthing body’s own natural relaxant (endorphins) which reduces birthing discomfort, labor pain, and the need for medication. Birth is a natural process and when a pregnant woman has her mind and body aligned and prepared for a positive birth experience, a mother’s natural instincts can function during labor and birthing.
HypnoBirthing childbirth classes teach expecting mothers to release negative thoughts about birth and how to eliminate the fear-tension-pain syndrome which can lead to using the wrong muscles during labor and birth. HypnoBirthing moms are empowered and trust their birthing body and know how to work with it. HypnoBirthing mothers are relaxed during labor which enables her to be aware of each contraction and know how to work with her body to successfully birth her baby. HypnoBirthing moms are aware of their laboring and birthing body and choose to surrender to the childbirth process. They are aware, in control, and profoundly relaxed. Through the use of HypnoBirthing, birth is the beautiful, peaceful experience nature intended.
HypnoBirthing is also known as The Morgan Method of childbirth education. HypnoBirthing is a unique method of relaxed, natural childbirth education, enhanced by self-hypnosis techniques. HypnoBirthing consists of a series of five, 2 1/2-hour classes or four, 3-hour classes. There are many trained and certified HypnoBirthing instructors around the world.

If you can not attend a HypnoBirthing class then you can also look into the many hypnotherapy CDs and DVDs that are widely available. If you already have one or more children it can be hard to find the time to attend a HypnoBirthing course, so the use of a hypnotherapy CD may be preferred so you can listen when it is convenient for you. Hypnotherapy CDs are a good way to have some relaxation time and get really good rest at the end of your pregnancy. Listening to hypnotherapy CDs can be wonderful!
