From the mother :
Hypnobirthing helped me in two ways. Firstly, I had a better understanding of my options when it came to labour and felt empowered to make choices as they arose.
Secondly, the visualisations and relaxation techniques we learnt meant I remained calm and in control of the birth of my baby and able to enjoy a drug free labour.
From the father:
When my partner suggested hypnobirthing I was somewhat skeptical! However I really enjoyed the relaxation element of the classes. I felt a sense of purpose during labour as I was able to keep my partner focused on the techniques we learned and help her remain relaxed and calm throughout the birth.
