Chattanooga Hypnobabies

What is Hypnobabies?
Hypnobabies is a complete childbirth education course that incorporates hypnotic
techniques, imagery, and visualization to train the inner mind in a very positive
way. One of the best aspects of this class is that you will be able to eliminate the
fear that causes tension and pain in birthing, a necessary step for any woman
soon to give birth. Most hypno-moms have faster, easier, and more comfortable
birthing experiences than women who do no utilize the tools gained through our
Hypnobabies course. We have the best success rate in the childbirth hypnosis
field! When you practice your hypnosis cues and continue to do your maintenance
work until baby comes, you will be amazed and thrilled with your birthing and
create fascination and happy surprise all around you as you use your Hypnobabies
techniques.

Why should I take the Hypnobabies childbirth course INSTEAD of a hospital or

other independent childbirth class?

Most childbirth classes, even those striving for natural, unmedicated

births, teach

pain "coping" techniques. Our philosophy is so much different. Our

entire program,

right down to the words we use

, is aimed toward setting up positive expectations

about childbirth.

Hypnobabies helps moms

visualize and create a positive

expectation,

teaches them how to create

and use hypno-anesthesia, and helps

eliminate fear from the birth

process.

Should I attend a live Hypnobabies class or the home-study course?

Our Hypnobabies Home Study Course for Expectant Mothers is being used with
great success by mothers all over the world right now, and it contains the same
basic curriculum, hypnosis scripts and cues, but we suggest that anyone who is
near a Hypnobabies Instructor take our Hypnobabies Class with a Certified
Hypnobabies Instructor (HCHI certified). The benefits of attending a Hypnobabies
Class include:

More detailed information on every subject.
Additional handouts.
5 Hypnobabies scripts in a booklet, including the Visualize Your Birth script.
Phone consultations with your Hypnobabies Instructor.
Prenatal exercise demonstration and practice.
Full hands-on training for the birth partner, including the Birth Partner's Guide
booklet and the Birth Partner's hypnosis CD.
Explanations, demonstration, and practice of the belly lift technique from the
book "Back Labor No More" by Janie McCoy King.
Optimal Fetal Positioning explanations and demonstrations to prevent
posterior presentation.
Our Birthing Rehearsal in Class # 6, which is invaluable for helping each
Hypno-Mom fully understand and experience their Hypnobabies techniques in
a birthing scenario, complete with Birth Balls, changing positions, walking etc.
It is also great practice for Birth Partners to use their deepening cues and
techniques that help the mom so wonderfully during labor. This helps build
the confidence level of Mom and the Birth Partner tremendously
FUN! You'll build a sense of camaraderie with other expectant couples who
understand what you are going through! Taking a live course can also help
some students who may not have the discipline or motivation to complete the
home-study option.

When should I start Hypnobabies Classes?

Anytime! Some women take classes early in their pregnancy, and practicing

Hypnobabies helps them to be relaxed, comfortable and confident for the rest of

their pregnancies. Others start later, at 6 or 7 months, when they know they can

devote 30-40 minutes daily to practicing.

Can my Birth Partner come to Hypnobabies Class with me?

Yes, please! We teach the Birth Partner right along with our Hypno-Moms - what

hypnosis is, (they experience it in class and get their own Birth Partner’s hypnosis

CD, to keep them calm and relaxed about pregnancy and childbirth!) and how to

support and help our Hypno-moms during pregnancy the birthing itself and after

the baby comes. They participate fully in each class, and with each hypnosis script.

How does hypnosis for childbirth work?

Like computer data entry, if you want to create a document to use later, you open

one, enter the text and save the contents in a “file”, then give the file a name.

Later, when you want to edit that document, you find the file name and open it,

add to the document text and save it again. When you are completely finished

with your document, you find the file by its name, complete and ready, and print it

out for your use.

In Hypnobabies, our “files” are our medical hypno-anesthesia “scripts” in the form

of CD tracks and paper scripts, and all you have to do is *listen* to them. In doing

so, you train your inner mind what to accept. Each week, you add a little bit of

training, and your inner mind creates a new belief system about childbirth. It

accepts that the normal birthing sensations that you will have when you give birth;

pushing, pulling, stretching, pressure sensations, will indeed be there, but without

discomfort attached to them. You train it to accept cues and techniques to bring

you deeper into relaxation and hypnosis, and when you use them on your birthing

day, just like printing out your document, they are there for you automatically!

Your mind is very powerful and is capable of creating the deepest physical

relaxation possible as well as a very comfortable birthing experience. Use it!

Will I be able to move around and be awake, and aware of my body and my

baby during my labor, using hypnosis?

Absolutely! Being in Hypnobabies’ “Eyes Open Childbirth Hypnosis" is not like

being

asleep or detached from the sensations of your baby’s birth. You are

awake and

aware of everything going on around you, and you experience baby’

s every

movement. You remain deeply in hypnosis, confident and calm, even

while moving

and changing positions. Your Hypnobabies hypno-anesthesia

allows you to

experience all the power of childbirth without the discomfort.
