I plan to use upright positions during labor, but all I have seen are videos of women using hypnosis for childbirth in which the women are lying down. Do I have to be immobile for birth?
No! Women can choose a birth hypnosis program such as Hypnobabies that uses techniques that allow them to walk, talk and move and still be completely comfortable. (Hypnobabies’ “Eyes Open Childbirth Hypnosis”) The Hypno-mom will be free to choose any positions that work best for her and her baby.
