Hypnobirthing over 35.

scooperdoops · Jun 7th, 2011, 16:30 PM

Just wondering whether anyone else on this board was considering HypnoBirthing/ Natal Hypnotherapy?

I have read Marie Mongan's book and am just waiting on delivery of some Natal Hypnotherapy CD's and am really hoping that I will be able to have a natural birth using these methods. It will be my first baby so its all new and I am also hoping I might be able to have a water birth, although there is only one pool in our local hospital so it'll be the luck of the draw on the day.

Just wondering if anyone else is considering similar?

Its not for me I'm afraid - I'm going to need some sort of pain relief!

Good luck though

Ooh hello open lotus, have you done it before or is it your first baby? When are you due?
Are you attending sessions or just using books/CD's etc?

I don't use any particular techniques, neither do I use pain relief unless something like pst counts. That would be primal scream therapy.

I have taken prenatal classes and such and my OH, bless him, did try to get me to remember to try the breathing techniques but I pretty much told him to forget it. I find that I just can't concentrate on trying to do anything a certain way when I am in the moment.

This is my first, and I'm definitely going to try hypnobirthing, as I've seen it work wonders for people. I'm 19 weeks and haven't started on training yet, but likely I'll get a book and probably take a class. I want to be really good at it!!!

Going to try the mongan method although I tried last time and didn't really work for me once I was in the hospital environment.

I'm having a c section, so don't think this will apply to me
