Birth. It is a most sacred event in a woman’s life. A right to passage to motherhood. Whether you birth at home or in a hospital, your body presents your long awaited gift…one that you’ve nurtured diligently. If there is one thing we can all agree on, all women labor differently and there are options to birth as compatibly as every laboring mom needs.
I had three different births and three radically different experiences with each but for the latter two I chose a hypnobirth and have nothing but good things to say about it. I wrote about my experience in detail here but my first birth was far from natural and easy. It wasn’t the stuff of horror stories either but I was still determined to change things for round two. My first hypnobirth was drug free and easy. I didn’t even feel any real pain until transition. For most of my labor I sat in an easy chair and then later a car seat (while my mom ran errands) and practiced what I had learned via CD in the previous months. By the time I checked in at the hospital I was 9 centimeters dilated and had my daughter just a an hour after I walked in. My third birth was not as easy (I had cancer) but I still credit hypobirthing for making it bearable.
Hypnobirthing is an option that is both gentle and natural. It is a childbirth method that applies techniques to induce deep relaxation, visualization and self-hypnosis. Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is not a state of unconsciousness or sleep, but can be best described as daydream or focus that occurs when you’re performing mundane tasks, such as staring into a fire in a fireplace.
Eliminating fear and concerns associated with childbirth is vital. Affirmations during hypnosis encourages a positive mindset in overcoming this.

Fact #1 Spoke to me the most. I had an amazing natural birth experience and I believe its because I had the support of my midwives & believed that birth is a completely natural process. I had faith in my body and my ability and it was beautiful!My hope is that birth #2 in September is an equally empowering experience!
That’s great to hear! It never gets old to hear about amazing natural birth experiences. Hope we can be of help to you. Best wishes.
The fact that speaks to me is – Epidurals are not the only way to decrease childbirth pain. I’m pregnant with my first and I want to avoid an epidural
Valerie. Wanting not to have an epidural is a great place to start. Whether with the Birth Relaxation Kit or other programs and tools, we truly wish you well to reach your goal. You can do it!
I’ve heard so much about hynobirthing and really want to try it for my next birth!

Lindsay, I highly encourage you to give it a try, whether Birth Relaxation Kit, hypnobabies, Hypnobirthing, etc. Mindset shift is a wonderful thing for birth and life!
Birth is not to be feared. The fear of birth and the unknown is what frightens most women into a medically assisted birth. I didn’t realize that my fear of birth could make my body cause my experience worse – well that and being misguided by not like minded doctors and nurses.
