During the past 10 years, I have met with a number of women who expressed interest in employing self-hypnosis and visualization to ease the physical discomfort, stress and anxiety associated with pregnancy. The feedback has been positive as most have reported a sense of empowerment and, in a couple of instances, a closer connection to their child.
I’m not experienced in hypnobirthing,
yet I continue to seek out articles that share examples of positive outcomes. The
latest is a story out of Iran which includes this assessment from a medical
provider:
“This associate professor of Anesthesiology at
Mashhad University of Medical Sciences pointed out that the use of hypnosis in
childbirth reduces 80 to 100 percent of normal labor pain.”
