HypnoBirthing®, a new paradigm in childbirth education, is an easy to learn method utilizing deep relaxation and focused breathing patterns. It is as much of a philosophy as a technique. Marie Mongan developed the HypnoBirthing® program in 1989, putting together ideas that she had used in the birthing of her own children. The concept is not new, but rather a rebirth of the concepts that were developed by Grantly Dick-Read, an English obstetrician. His book, Childbirth Without Fear, identified the Fear-Tension-Pain cycle as a common accompaniment of labor.
HypnoBirthing® is based on the belief that when a mother is properly prepared for birthing—physically, mentally, and emotionally—and fully relaxed, she can experience the joy of birthing her baby more easily, often faster, and with less discomfort. With most births requiring little or no intervention, HypnoBirthing® moms use their skills to deeply relax, and open to the power, passion and pleasure of birth.
