HypnoBirthing®
Are you between 20 and 32 weeks pregnant? That’s the ideal time to start preparing for birth. Either through a Private HypnoBirthing Course or a Doula trajectory. Or treat yourself with a pregnancy or post-partum massage!
What is HypnoBirthing®?
HypnoBirthing is a comprehensive childbirth preparation program that fully prepares you and your (birth) partner for delivery and the postpartum period. Between 20 and 32 weeks of your pregnancy, attend five classes of almost 3 hours each. In these classes, you will learn everything about giving birth together. You can choose from the group course ‘HypnoBirthing Breda,’ ‘HypnoBirthing Dordrecht,’ ‘HypnoBirthing Bergen-op-Zoom,’ or private sessions at your home.
What is the philosophy?
In HypnoBirthing, you focus on the belief that you naturally have the power to give birth in a safe, comfortable, and easy manner. This is also known as a gentle birth. A warm and loving welcome, not only for your baby but also for you as parents.
How does the course help create a gentle birth?
Through HypnoBirthing exercises such as breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, visualization, and affirmation, you learn to stay calm and relaxed. Through self-hypnosis, you reduce your fear and pain during childbirth. With extensive knowledge, you know what to expect and develop the strength to make choices that best suit you. Repetition helps you develop a positive mindset. You now trust your body. Together with your partner, you connect more deeply with each other and your baby, strengthening the loving bond. You form a team, defining your birth wishes and each person’s role. You also involve your healthcare providers so they can optimally support you and help you make informed decisions. This makes your birth truly your experience.
Why prepare for childbirth?
You cannot plan how the birth will go. But by just letting it happen, you increase the chance that you will look back on the experience negatively because the birth happens to you and may be taken out of your hands.
“All that matters is a healthy baby” is a minimal and unsatisfying goal, and “Once you have your baby in your arms, you will forget all the hardship” is not true. You will remember this experience forever.
With the HypnoBirthing course, you take control and responsibility for your birth. Your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being is paramount. The HypnoBirthing birth guides you through all your obstacles and all your strengths. After the birth, you are a different person. Liberated, empowered, clear, and relaxed.
Who is the course suitable for?
This course is suitable for pregnant women and their (birth) partners. This is often the other parent but can also be your mother, friend, doula, etc. You are also welcome without a partner! HypnoBirthing is suitable for any birth setting, whether at home or in the hospital. Whether you have a planned or unplanned, medical or non-medical birth, HypnoBirthing helps you have the experience that is important to you in any situation.
