Cherubs Yoga - Yoga, Pregnancy Yoga and HypnoBirthing

Why is HypnoBirthing® so good?

Here are some of the things you'll learn that are not usually covered in antenatal classes

• Breathing techniques that are effective during the birth
• How to reduce the need for any medication at all
• How to reduce your risk of needing an episiotomy during birth by learning a simple massage technique
• How to be confident and informed when dealing with the medical staff - when to question, what to ask...and when it's time to let them take charge
• How to release any fears you might have about childbirth, regardless of where they come from
• How to bring about your own easy start of labour with these simple, natural techniques, if you go beyond your "estimated due date"
• Most importantly, you'll know how to relax and stay calm and in control - regardless of what's happening around you

HypnoBirthing® is designed as a structured but informal class format that teaches about the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of birth. You'll learn why your body does what it does, as well as how.

Free book and cd

As well as the classes themselves, you'll receive:

• a professionally produced text book "HypnoBirthing®: The breakthrough approach to safer, easier, comfortable birthing" by Marie Mongan
• an affirmations and relaxation CD
• a series of weekly handouts
• email support throughout your pregnancy

all included in the price.

More benefits

Additional benefits that have been reported by mums include:

• Considerably shorter labour and birthing
• Signficantly fewer surgical births
• High number of comfortable, natural births with no technological assistance
• A high rate of success in assisting breech-presented babies to turn into appropriate birthing position with the use of posture and hypnosis
• Highly energized mums in good spirits following births that are calm and gentle
• You'll learn the techniques once for this birth, but then you can then use them again and again, no matter how many children you have
• HypnoBirthing® techniques work very effectively with home births, water births, birthing centre or hospital births
• You can use the techniques to help calm and relax yourself any time you feel stressed out
• What you'll learn through HypnoBirthing® is how you can confidently approach a safe, easier and more comfortable natural birth.

Does it help the baby too?

Yes. Babies born using HypnoBirthing® tend to be calmer, feed better, sleep better and experience less trauma, because they are gently and calmly breathed into the world at their own pace.

Benefits to your family

Instead of your partner being a helpless onlooker, they become a central part of the birthing process, helping you to stay calm and focussed on the techniques that you've learnt.

As a result, your partner feels proud to have been able to help, and to be an active part of the birth. This cannot help but make them feel closer to you and your new baby.
