What would you say to someone who wants to use Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis but is afraid it won’t work for her?
What do you mean it wouldn’t work?
I think any mom should define what her goal for taking Hypnobabies is.
I think that Hypnobabies could certainly work for all moms, however if her goal is to avoid pain at all costs, then she may be disappointed if she ends up feeling some discomfort and then she may feel that it “didn’t work”. A large number of moms do have pain free births with Hypnobabies, but that is not really the point of Hypnobabies. It is to educate moms about birth and give them amazing tools to help them during their birth, to be as comfortable as possible, given the circumstances. (needing pitocin, a malpositioned baby, an unsupportive care provider are all examples of things that may take away from a moms comfort level)
I would also suggest that the mom read birth stories of moms who had unique births using Hypnobabies and see how they felt that Hypnobabies helped them during their births. To see that Hypnobabies can help all moms regardless of their birth experiences, even if they end up needing a cesarean or an induction, Hypnobabies has tools that can help with that!
Here is a great birth story, where mom had some discomfort, but still felt that Hypnobabies worked for her and lists the reasons why!
