According to the 2007 HypnoBirthing Outcomes Report, 70% of US HypnoBirthing moms used no pain medication during labor. While a very reassuring statistic, that means that 30% of the moms did decide to use pain medication during labor. While our focus is on creating a calm and more comfortable birthing, we want you to be prepared with pain relieving techniques should the need arise for them during your birthing.

Getting into a deep state of relaxation, using your anchors, breathing techniques and visualizations will be the core of how you spend your time during labor. Releasing your fears about birthing, parenting, etc. prior to going into labor is also an important component of the program. If you have lingering fears, please schedule a one-on-one session to help you resolve them. If you find that you are experiencing pain or discomfort during labor, there are techniques you can use.
Hypnosis has been effective in helping patients experience reduced or no pain during surgery. Imagine that, surgery without drugs and without pain. The deep relaxation, visualization, glove relaxation and sensory gate control valve techniques that you learn in HypnoBirthing class are important techniques for you to master. Techniques just like these are used with patients under-going surgery and they are the techniques you will turn to if you experience pain or discomfort during labor.
