Why choose the 5-session, HypnoBirthing-Mongan Method
Program?
Self-hypnosis and deep relaxation are very effective birthing techniques. They are acquired skills that need to be learned gradually and practiced between sessions. This ensures that you have the time to develop the conditioned responses that make HypnoBirthing(R) The Mongan Method so successful. There are no short cuts, and no compromise to the complete birth preparation that is covered.
This is why our program is taught in five 2 1/2 hour sessions.
Learning Hypnobirthing over a one-day or weekend class in a
condensed form is not as effective in helping you to be able to absorb and
remember the various techniques and the comprehensive birth education that you learn in class. The brain and body memory have a limited learning capacity, especially in pregnancy! The time between classes helps you to better assimilate what you've learned from the previous class and allows you time to practice together during the week. When you return on the following week, you are able to discuss, correct and improve your practice experience and any techniques you may not have fully understood.
This class schedule also allows you to explore your feelings, to relax with your partner, to resolve and release any anxieties that may arise, and to become acquainted with your baby through pre-birth parenting exercises. We like to work with you personally and to follow your progress, so that we can prepare you to be ready, relaxed, and confident as you approach the birth of your baby.
How is the Birth Companion involved?
The Birth Companion of the mother’s choice is an integral part of the HypnoBirthing experience. He or she practices with the mother in helping to prepare for deep relaxation. During labor the Birth Companion guides the laboring mother through hypnosis prompts, relaxation techniques, deepening methods, and visualizations, provides comfort measures, and joins in welcoming the new baby, often by receiving the baby as he emerges.
Will I be unconscious or will I remember my birth experience? Despite misconceptions and misinformation, you are definitely not unconscious during self-hypnosis. The HypnoBirthing mother
is deeply relaxed, but she is also an active participant in the labor process.
Though she is deeply relaxed, she is totally aware and may return to a
conversant state or choose to become mobile whenever she desires.
HypnoBirthing mothers often find that they experience time distortion and are not distracted by other people or their birthing environment, while they focus on their birthing and their baby.
Will HypnoBirthing be useful to me if I don't opt for a natural childbirth or if circumstances necessitate medical intervention or a surgical birth?
Absolutely. The things you will learn in your HypnoBirthing classes will help you to learn relaxation skills that will be useful to both you and your baby, regardless of your birth experience. In the event that medical intervention of any sort is needed, you will find yourself better able to remain calm and in control. Mothers who have needed scheduled cesareans for medical reasons report that they were totally
relaxed before, during and after the procedure. Many report that they needed little or no additional medication to relax before or during the procedure and following the birth, and they were able to return to normal functioning in a very short period of time.
Is it true that I will experience a pain-free birth with HypnoBirthing?HypnoBirthing does not promise painless birthing, though many HypnoBirthing mothers do report having a relatively pain-free birth
or one that they were able to manage easily. When the cause of pain--fear that constricts the birthing muscles—is eliminated, birthing can be accomplished in a shorter period and much more comfortably. A relaxed mother’s body will produce more endorphins, nature’s own relaxants. HypnoBirthing mothers may still experience sensations of tightening or pressure; but most describe their birth experience as working with their body through the sensations, and thus avoiding the excruciating pain that is frequently spoken of by women who choose other methods of preparation for birthing.
What if my doctor/midwife is not familiar with HypnoBirthing, can I still use this method and how can my healthcare providers help me to achieve my HypnoBirthing goals?
More and more care providers are becoming aware of the
benefits of HypnoBirthing. Many hospitals offer HypnoBirthing as an option in their childbirth education programs, and HypnoBirthing is now taught in some schools of medicine to student doctors. If your care giver is not knowledgeable about HypnoBirthing, take the opportunity early in your pregnancy to discuss the techniques you will be using and the type of calm birthing environment that you desire. In class, you will learn how to create a plan of Birth Preferences, which will help you to communicate your birthing goals and preferences to your doctor or midwife. Also, your HypnoBirthing instructor will contact your provider with information on HypnoBirthing.
