Question 1

What is hypnobirthing and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Hypnobirthing is a childbirth preparation method that uses breathing, relaxation, visualisation and positive affirmations to reduce fear and stress during labour. It helps you understand your body and stay calm and in control throughout the birthing process.

Question 2

Does hypnobirthing really work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many women, including myself, find that hypnobirthing helps them feel more relaxed and confident during birth. While every birth is different, the tools provided can help you stay calm and make informed decisions, even if things don’t go exactly as planned.

Question 3

Is hypnobirthing suitable for second-time mums or after a difficult birth?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. I used hypnobirthing after a traumatic first birth and found it incredibly empowering. It gave me the confidence to approach my second birth in a more positive and informed way.

Question 4

What are the benefits of hypnobirthing beyond labour?

Accepted Answer

Hypnobirthing techniques such as calm breathing, meditation and positive affirmations can be used in daily life to manage stress, anxiety and even specific fears like needle phobia. They’re great tools for everyday calm.

Question 5

How is hypnobirthing different from traditional antenatal classes?

Accepted Answer

Traditional classes often focus on what might go wrong during labour and how to follow the medical process. Hypnobirthing teaches you to trust your instincts, understand your rights and work with your body. It puts you at the centre of your birth experience.
