This means
that we often
approach childbirth
in a state
of fear and
anxiety which
tenses up the
body and lowers
the pain threshold,
while at the
same time inhibiting
the body's
natural processes
in labour.
|
|
The Confident
Childbirth course
enables
you to
develop
your own
techniques
which will
enable
you to
feel more
confident
and in
control
of your
experience
and to
recognise
childbirth
as a natural
event which
does not
have to
be either
negative
or traumatic. |
You will learn
:
- How
to use self
hypnosis
to go into
a state of
calm relaxation
- How
to remain
positive
and in control
- How
to use personal
visualisations
to aid your
labour and
delivery
- How
to focus
constructively
in order
to manage
the birth
of your baby
in the best
way for you
Research published
by Dr Mary
W Jenkins and
Dr M.H Pritchard
in the British
Journal of
Obstetrics
and Gynaecology
(March 1993,
Vol 100 pp221-226)
demonstrates
the positive
effects of
hypnotherapy
sessions in
terms of a
shorter labour
and less need
for pain relief.
Other research
has demonstrated
the effectiveness
of hypnotherapy
in terms of
lower epidural
and caesarean
rates, higher
APGAR scores
and lower depression
scores after
birth.
The course
consists of
four 1 hour
sessions and
you can choose
whether you
prefer these
to take place
as one to one
sessions or
small group
sessions with
other mums-to-be.
The cost of
the course
is £250
if you choose
one to one
sessions and £125
if you choose
small group
sessions with
other mums-to-be.
Group places
are limited
to four.
