How can the Relaxed Childbirth Programme take the fear out of being pregnant to give you a calm, relaxed and stress free pregnancy?

By way of a bit of background Dr Dick-Read founded the National Childbirth Trust in the 1920s and he realised that when there was no fear there was little or no discomfort when giving birth. He concluded that when there was no fear the cervix would thin easily, the waves of childbirth came regularly and rhythmically, and the baby was born easily.

He suggested that the reason the fear and tension had such a profound affect on the discomfort levels of birthing mothers was that the blood was being diverted from the uterus and that by taking away that fear the discomfort would be greatly reduced as the body worked in a natural manner.

So just how can this help the pregnancy and birthing process for the new "Mum to Be" ?

Today Hypnosis and Self-Hypnosis is becoming more widespread and a more common choice for pregnant women AND their partners and claims are made that hours in childbirth can be reduced and also the need for much less medication for the discomfort control during the birth process. What the relaxed Childbirth Programme aims to do is combine these ethics with the most up to date Hypnosis Techniques and link these together with the physical aspects of the birthing process. The combined result is an enhanced birthing experience.

The expectant Mum's are encouraged to find out the best way they can improve their birthing and pregnancy experience whether that means making use of the self hypnosis techniques that this course provides or the guided hypnosis that is offered through the latter stages of the pregnancy and during the birth itself.

What makes this course and programme unique is that the partners are included in the programme, which gives maximum support to all parties so the Mother and the Father or Partner feel that they are included in the process, involved fully, which then enables them also to enjoy the experience. What you get is an enhanced bonding from the very beginning.

This programme is designed to give you choice and control. Choice at managing the experience from the initial contractions right through to the delivery. You can choose to use the self hypnosis techniques that you will be taught, or if you prefer just use the pre-recorded CD's that we provide to you. You can even use them in the delivery suite. Its a totally flexible approach to childbirth that YOU control and as you go through the pregnancy you can adapt it to suit your needs.

So who benefits from this programme? Well thats the great thing about it because Mum, Dad/Partner, and the Baby itself all benefit because it offers a more relaxed, peaceful, and less stressed environment to all concerned. By involving the Fathers and Partners the involvement they feel is immense. Those who have gone through the process of being a father/partner at a birth know all about the pre-birth worries, fears, and stresses that they feel. Its also usual for them to hang on to those fears - not wanting to burden the mother. The fathers will be encouraged to discuss their concerns and its possible that any deep seated fears can be resolved if needed by an additional hypnotherapy session just for the Dad or Partner.

Another thought for the "Mum to Be" is just remember that you will probably hear a lot of stories about peoples own experiences of birthing and pregnancy, it can often be a kind of sport to see and talk about "who had the worst experience", you may even have been told about your own birth. But all these stories are the memories and tales of other people and you are your own person, and as such you will have all of your own experiences. This is your chance to make them less stressed, less painful, and importantly make them HAPPY and RELAXED.!!

Why does Relaxation and Calmness make such a difference and make the Relaxed Birthing Programme so unique?

When we are relaxed, our breathing is even and rhythmical, ensuring a high level of oxygen is entering our bloodstream. This oxygen goes to the baby ensuring that he/she remains calm and stable. This increased oxygen stimulates the production of Oxytocin which is the hormone responsible for the birthing waves( contractions) and also endorphins.
This means that:

• Blood pressure remains at a healthy level..
• Because the body is relaxed you conserve energy..
• As the uterus has no resistance or tension from surrounding muscles the contractions are more effective, and importantly much more comfortable for Mum and Baby..
• As the childbirth is not hindered by excessive medication to aid relaxation the natural hormones kick in which allow the cells of the birth canal to soften, relax and stretch which makes babies descent easier, less stressed and much more comfortable.
• By harnessing the power of relaxation using hypnosis it allows the body to naturally release the chemicals to allow the childbirth to progress at the required rate. The self hypnosis and the visualization technique that will be taught enable you to take a relaxed journey through the birth of your child.
