HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method - is a unique method of relaxed, natural childbirth education, enhanced by self-hypnosis techniques.
For most of their lives, women have been inundated with the negative stories of other women’s birth experiences. Everyone, from their mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, friends, and even strangers, wants to tell them the horrors of giving birth. They have been conditioned to believe that excruciating pain is associated with birth; and because of this, women today hold an unprecedented fear of giving birth. This extreme fear causes their bodies to become tense, and that tension often prevents them from easily performing the normal, physiological function of birth. The result? Exactly what they feared most - long, painful, disappointing birth.
People who are drawn to HypnoBirthing® have long been searching for a way that helps women give birth as calmly, safely, and gently as possible. Until HypnoBirthing® was founded, it seemed almost unattainable.
Through a very simple program of self-hypnosis and education, women learn to release emotions tied to fear-based stories and misinformation, and they are helped to see birth as normal. They learn to trust that their bodies know how to bring their babies into the world in the calm and gentle way that nature intended.
The HypnoBirthing® Childbirth method is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing, and stress-free method of birthing. HypnoBirthing® teaches you, along with your birthing companion, the art and joy of experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner. You will learn to call upon your body’s own natural relaxant and thus lessen or eliminate discomfort and the need for medication.
When a woman is properly prepared for childbirth and when mind and body are in harmony, nature is free to function in the same will-designed manner that it does with all other creatures.
You will be fascinated as you view HypnoBirthing® films showing labouring mothers - awake, alert and in good humour as they experience the kind of gentle birth that you, too, can know when you are free of the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome
HypnoBirthing® teaches you to release all prior programming about birth, how to trust your body and work with it, as well as how to free yourself of harmful emotions that lead to pain-causing fear and unyielding muscles.
HypnoBirthing® will teach you the art of using your own natural birthing instincts. With HypnoBirthing®, you will be aware and fully in control, but profoundly relaxed.
HypnoBirthing® can't promise you a 'perfect' birth - no one can - but it can promise you a much, much more comfortable and relaxed birth than you would have had otherwise
The Birth Partner's Role
If you are planning to have a birthing partner then it is important that they attend HypnoBirthing classes with you, if possible. The role of the partner is not to be under estimated. A confident partner can make mum feel safe, secure and nurtured, this will help mum release the hormones essential for an easy and comfortable labour. If the birth partner is feeling anxious and does not know how to support mum properly this will introduce stress into the labour and hinder mum.
HypnoBirthing is designed for mum and birth partner to work together before and during the labour to ensure birth is positive and calm.
If you would like more information about HypnoBirthing or you would like to book your course then please get in touch. Please note I only teach private one-to-one classes in your home and only within Glasgow’s west end.
