HypnoBirthing is a technique used to help relax the body while giving birth. Women still feel pain, but the focus is taken off of the pains of labor and the woman’s mind is focused on something more peaceful.
“Marie F. Mongan, Director of the HypnoBirthing Institute, says that with the aid of hypnosis, a woman can bring her body into a state of deep relaxation in which the body’s muscles can work the way they’re meant to during childbirth. She says it feels similar to daydreaming, or the feeling you get when you are lost in a book or movie. People who’ve used this technique report feeling relaxed, calm, aware, and in control.”

There are HypnoBirthing instructors across Tampa Bay. The HypnoBirthing Institute keeps a list of providers throughout the country. In addition, there are several birth stories on the web site. HypnoBirthing is an option for women that want to have a natural childbirth, but want to be as comfortable and relaxed as possible. Some women who have tried a VBAC (Vaginal birth after a C-section) have used HypnoBirthing.
Another type of hypnosis that truly happens with the hypnotized person “absolutely awake” is conversational hypnosis. Just some of those methods can literally change your life.
