Hypnosis for Childbirth promotes a  positive pregnancy and birth.  Women who practice self-hypnosis in pregnancy  report feeling better both physically and emotionally: they sleep better and have more confidence before the birth. With an average of 3.6 hours of active labour (see Research), women remark that the birth seems easier, they can remain in control, while at the same time, relax deeply.

Research indicates that hypnosis promotes:

• Shorter labours


• A self-reported reduction in pain


• Reduced epidural and analgesic use


• Reduced intervention (i.e. fewer forceps and caesarians)


• Higher Apgar scores
