Can you guarantee a completely pain free labour and birth?
No. We don’t guarantee a pain free birth and this is not the sole focus of the programme….but we do guarantee that you will fell much more in control and calmer than if you did not learn the technique. There are some factors that can affect labour and birth, some of which are out of our control. Some of the success or our programme will be related to how much you practice after your classes. However as a guide, we find that 60-70% of HypnoBirthing mothers do not require any pain relief. Around 20-25% only require mild pain relief such as gas and air. The remaining 5-10% usually fall into what we call”special circumstances” where medical intervention is required. However HypnoBirthing mums tell us that they have really benefitted from the programme even if they were induced or ended up having a caesarean section.
