Do I Need To Attend The Hospital Ante-Natal Classes I do HypnoBirthing?
No. With HypnoBirthing classes we are training the subconscious mind to expect in the absence of fear and tension that labour can be a positive and often pain free experience were you are in control. We have found that couples who attend hospital ante-natal classes particularly the labour class have their fears reinforced by the instructors own belief that birth must be a painful experience. In short regular ante-natal classes contradict everything that HypnoBirthing has to offer which is removing the fear of labour, and replacing fear with the confidence that birth is not a terrifying experience but something to look forward too. Painful out of control labour and births are generally not the experience of a HypnoBirthing mother. HypnoBirthing is a complete ante-natal class in itself including breast feeding and baby preparation class. It would be useful to look around the unit you are booked in to give birth, so that you are familiar with your surroundings before labour starts.
