Hypnobirthing Courses in Surrey

Hypnobirthing is a fully comprehensive antenatal program, we cover:

• How the uterus works during labour – and how to make your contractions as effective and comfortable as possible
• How hormones control labour and how your can use hypnobirthing techniques to ensure the perfect balance of birthing hormones
• How to make a birth plan considering all your options and learning how to make the best decisions for you and your family
• What are all the options available to you in terms of birth place, pain relief and so much more.
• What to expect when labour starts and what to do whilst you are in labour.

But more importantly, we talk about you and how do you feel about labour. We will talk about how we spend most of our lives being told that labour is a scary, painful and traumatic event. An unpleasant means to an end to meet your baby.

Hypnobirthing is here to teach you why that mindset is going to make your labour harder. How being worried, being fearful and feeling out of control works against your body in labour, makes your labouring muscles have to work harder and makes your birthing hormones stop supporting your birth. 

And after we learn all of that you will learn how to change that! How to use relaxation, breathing techniques, empowering knowledge and some positivity to change this! To learn how to embrace your labouring body and help it birth your baby, stacking the odds in your favour for a positive birth experience.

There has been lots of different research into the benefits of taking hypnobirthing courses.
Hypnobirthing has been proven to reduce the average length of labour and to lower the perceived level of pain experienced. It is also associated with women and birthing people coming away from the birth of their babies feeling positive and empowered by their birth experience.
On a practical level a NHS study found that taking a hypnobirthing course reduced emergency c-section rates from 15% down to 4%! They also found that the rate of spontaneous vaginal birth (birthing without the use of instruments to help) was 84% in women who took hypnobirthing courses compared to 64% in the rest of the population. Another study found that only 18% of women who had done hypnobirthing used epidurals compared to 95% on the rest of the population in the area this study was carried out which in turn reduces the complication rates.
