the benefits of hypnosis for childbirth
There are so many wonderful benefits to using hypnosis during childbirth which include:
reduction of time in labour
using hypnosis reduces the first stage of your labour by about 3-4 hours if you are a first-time mother and about 2 hours if you are mother who has given birth before
less analgesic drug (if any)
it is frequently found that no painkillers are required as the only sensations you experience are
movement and pressure or tightening, this is obviously much better for both you and your baby
a calm, peaceful birthing experience without the need for strenuous pushing
because you are in control, you can gently and calmly breath your child into the world without
the need for strenuous pushing; it is a calm, beautiful 
and peaceful way for you to give birth.
a less stressed baby who is able to feed more easily and sleep better
babies born with hypnosis are less stressed which means they often cry less,
sleep and feed better and generally are calmer, because your baby has
also enjoyed a calm, peaceful entry into the world..
a less exhausted mother after birth
because you have been so relaxed and calm during birth, most women
feel less mentally and physically exhausted, and even look fit and well
afterwards.
more rapid post-natal recovery
episiotomies are rarely required due to the relaxation during the final stages
of labour without hard, anxious pushing
birthing partners have an active role to play during the birth
instead of your birthing partner being a helpless onlooker, they play a
central and important role during birth, helping you to use the techniques you have both learned.
how hypnosis for childbirth works
Your body has been perfectly designed to give birth! This programme teaches you about the mechanics
of childbirth and how to work with your body by relaxing deeply, breathing in certain ways to help it,
and letting it do its most perfect work. Hypnosis is a completely natural state of relaxed concentration
which you can easily learn.
Hypnosis was first recognised by the British Medical Association in 1955 as a valuable medical tool.
In terms of pain relief, it is used in many medical and dental treatments and operations with great
success. Channel 4, having investigated this, broadcast live on TV an operation on a man who used
only self-hypnosis to successfully anesthetise himself, and he remained calm and pain-free throughout!
The programme takes these same techniques to teach you not only to relax but how to numb your
body at will as and when you wish so that you feel only pressure or movement but little or no pain.
By learning these techniques you remove any anxiety you may have about giving birth which
is very important as anxiety creates fear, fear creates tension and tension creates pain, which in turn
creates more anxiety and so on ....
hypnosis for childbirth complete cd package and guide
The pack, designed and recorded by Penny, consists of all you need in order to learn the techniques at home together with your birth partner and trust in your body's ability to give birth easily.
There are 5 CD's, an introductory DVD and a training guide. The training guide takes you through each part of the programme explaining how and when to use each CD and the three breathing techniques.

state of relaxation (hypnosis) to completely relax your
body and mind.

techniques which allow you to numb parts of your body
at will and deepen your state of relaxation so that every
ten minutes seems like one!

your body and mind for a peaceful birth experience.
CD4 This CD is used during labour and birth; Penny can be
with you helping you if you wish to relax and work with
your body as you breath your baby into the world.
