Hypnosis for Natural Childbirth

The Hypnosis Clinic - A podcast by Jonathan Garside

Categories:

Hello, I’m Jonathan Garside from The Hypnosis Clinic. Congratulations! You’re pregnant! How exciting! It should be one of the most exciting and rewarding times of your life! Having a new addition to the family will be challenging but ultimately, one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. Of course, there’s bound to be a little apprehension: hoping that you’ll be a good parent, wondering how your schedule will change with a new baby to look after, and of course, there’s the delivery itself! In the USA more than 3.7 million babies are born every year, but about 80 percent of pregnant women express fear and worry about their pregnancy or childbirth. For over 26 years, I’ve been helping women to have an easier experience in childbirth, using hypnosis that is especially targeted towards calmness, confidence and relaxation. These really are the three main ingredients needed for a speedy, safe and healthy birth. Being physically relaxed is supremely important during the actual process of giving birth, your body needs to be able to relax, allowing your baby an easy passage though the birth canal. A lot of women, especially if it’s their first experience, can find themselves stressed about the process, worried about the outcome and nervous about possible complications and discomfort. The system I use can start right at the beginning of your pregnancy journey, helping your experience to be smooth and easy, every step of the way. It covers areas like helping you to find the right posture to strengthen your back and pelvic floor, encouraging your body to accept and tolerate the changes as your baby grows, so there’s less chance of morning sickness. Encouraging you to be calm and at ease all the way through, so that you have an expectation of a positive outcome, and even to help you to ignore some of the negative imagery surrounding childbirth. We also work on areas like helping to increase the elasticity of your skin, so that it’s easier to return quickly and safely to your pre-pregnancy size and shape, helping you to find breast feeding more comfortable and, of course, aiding your body in the actual process of childbirth itself, so that it’s the easiest possible experience for you and your new baby. Throughout your sessions I also make you a series of these unique self-hypnosis recordings for you to use at home. They are bespoke for you, and of course your baby, and really help to implant some of the sensations of being calm, relaxed, confident and at ease during your big day. Whether you choose to have your baby naturally, via a cesarian, at hospital, a birthing suite or at home, the work we do together really will make a difference in how easily you are able to bring your new baby into the world. I’ve worked with lots of mums over the years, so if you’d like to chat with someone who has had the experience of using hypnosis for natural childbirth, I’d be happy to put you in touch. So, if you’d like to find out more about how to give birth to your baby naturally and more easily, take a look through some of my tips on this blog. If you’d like to find out more about the work I do helping women to have a more positive experience of childbirth, make an appointment for a free consultation.
