Does Hypnobirthing work?

I get it.

Let’s be honest. You might be sitting on the fence right now, saying to yourself “Omg this Hypnobirthing course isn’t cheap! Is it worth it? Will it work for me?”

So let me put your mind at ease, and answer both of these questions for you.

Is it worth it?

Obviously the short answer is, yes, ha! Birth is such a normal, physiological process, but with birth trauma rates rising, it’s obvious it’s becoming increasingly complicated to birth within our maternity system. We aren’t being taught how to work with our bodies or encouraged to ask questions and make decisions that are right for us as individuals. I know many people don’t see the value of birth education

Will it work for me?

I wholeheartedly believe Hypnobirthing ALWAYS works. Because at it’s core, Hypnobirthing is simply an antenatal education programme. So, if you apply the knowledge and/or use the relaxation techniques then BOOM it has worked. What we do need to keep in mind however, is that Hypnobirthing cannot guarantee a birth outcome. Birth has many variables, and many of them we simply cannot control. The aim of Hypnobirthing is to make any challenges that may appear easier to navigate and with a clearer, calmer head.
