What is Hypnobirthing?

Put simply, hypnobirthing is a bit of a silly name for what is actually a very logical and common sense approach to antenatal birth preparation. It focusses on preparing both the mind and the body for birth, helping to reduce fear and anxiety, and teaches relaxation and breathing techniques that help your body to perform optimally, resulting in a more comfortable and positive birth experience. Most importantly, hypnobirthing has a strong focus on birth education. By learning the facts about birth and the options available to you, you'll be able to take control of your birth experience and make informed decisions that are best for you and your baby.
