What is Hypnobirthing?

The ‘hypno’ bit is what sets Hypnobirthing apart from regular, free and well-known birth preparation courses.

This is the bit that makes it sound a bit ‘woo’ and weird. But self-hypnosis is something you have probably experienced before and not really understood what is was. Have you ever been so engrossed in a film or sat day dreaming at your desk at work?

These use the exact same brain waves as hypnosis. Essentially, hypnosis is simply deep relaxation.

There are no pendulums involved like you see on the T.V, you won’t be running around barking like a dog and I won’t be talking to your vagina, I promise.
