Hypnobirthing?

Hi Millymoo, Yes, I'm definitely interested. I actually purchased the course in 2007 when I was pregnant with my first but I was unable to stick to it and ended up selling it back to hypnobabies after I had my DD. My email is [email protected]

Hi ummzarinah, I started the course at about 30 weeks (the course reccomends you begin by week 35 at the latest). I did it pretty much every night while I fell asleep and I do believe the meditation calmed me for the next day when I woke up so I really felt that the hormones/mood swings didn't affect me that much. It definitely relaxed me during the pregnancy part and when I would miss a few nights of not doing it, I really noticed the difference. My labour was pretty quick (as far as I'm told for a first pregnancy). I contribute this to learning throughout the course how to relax my entire body, particularly stomach area, which helps things move things along quickly (the more tense you are, the slower the labour). I'd decided I wanted to give birth naturally without drugs which was the reason I did the course. Now don't get me wrong, the hypno does not eliminate the pain! But it does help you get through it. To be honest, I was surprised (shocked) at the pain! (Perhaps a part of me thought it wouldn't hurt at all because of the hypno!) But once I started applying what I learnt, I was able to go to 'that place'. At about 8cm, when I was using the techniques, the midwife actually asked me if I was still having contractions because I'd stopped reacting to the pain. Its a little hard to explain and Im sure the experience varies from person to person but I dont believe I would have been able to continue without pain killers if I didn't have the techniques that I had practiced and built confidence in. After my little one arrived, the obgyn did ask me if I had done some sort of hypnobirthing so I guess the way I had managed the labour was in some way obvious to her. (I hadn't told her about it previously as she was a last minute doctor). This is the long story short but basically I am grateful I did the course because personally the benefits during labour as well as pregnancy that I had was worth it. There is a lot more to the course that you will learn so I cant really say much more that you would be able to understand just yet. It also includes a book and techniques for your birthing partner (doula, husband, etc) which helps them help you. If you are interested in the course, let me know and give me your email address and I can contact you :)

I purchased it way back in 2007 when I was pregnant with my first. I liked it but I wasn't able to keep up with it and ended up being induced which led to a c-section. I wished I'd stuck to it and am currently 12 weeks pregnant, looking for the course. If you have it, please let me know.

i had my 8 week old baby after a 5 session course of hypnobirthing (marie mongan method). i did the course after reading marie mongan's book as it all seemed to "click". i cannot recommend it enough and it enabled me to have a calm, quiet and relatively pain free birth and most importantly to feel empowered and informed throughout. here is a link to an article about jasmine and hypnobirthing in time out. http://www.timeoutdubai.com/kids/features/27873-tales-from-the-delivery-room/page/2#.UPLpt2-R8sc

I did both hypnobirthing and hypnobabies (they're slightly different, hypnobabies is an offshoot of hypnobirthing and is more modern and less regimented IMO). It didn't help me very much, I was able to do the breathing and manage through the contractions until they got to 2 mins apart and then I couldn't do it anymore as I didn't have time to recover. Having said that, I'm not a very zen, spiritual person (I'd be more into kickboxing than yoga to put it differently), so I'm sure it works much better for other people and hopefully for you too. If you have doubts that it's your cup of tea though I'd say don't spend money on it.

Hi Icedqueen, I might be interested in it, although I would prefer to do a course rather then self study. Can you tell me more about your experience? Did you find that the hypnobirthing helped with the pain and discomfort? I would love to hear more about how it worked for you. The self study was quite easy and I managed to do it at my own pace and during my own time (I have a very busy 3 year old whom I was potty training at the time as well). I had a slow labour from the Friday evening until Sunday morning and used the methods that I learnt in the hypnosis course to keep calm and manage the pain. Of course you do feel pain but you manage to "zone" into your special place. I don't know how to describe it though. It did help me to prepare for this birth as I knew much more and did not doubt myself and my body - the course teaches you and helps with confidence levels as well. All in all, I am glad with the outcome as I was terrified during my first birthing time which of course ended up in a c-section. This basically prepared me and gave me the confidence to have a successful VBAC.
