Hypno Birthing
Hypno Birthing in a nutshell: Around 90-95 % of our actions are performed by our subconscious. Hypno birthing is about tapping into our subconscious so that we can be fully in control over our actions in response to our birthing physiology,
Birth physiology :
The physiology of birth is the process of labour and delivery, driven by hormonal and physical changes.
The key hormones in the physiology of birth are oxytocin, which stimulates uterine contractions; prostaglandins, which help soften the cervix; relaxin, which aids in pelvic and cervical softening; endorphins, which act as natural pain relievers; and adrenaline, which provides a surge of energy for pushing at the end of labor. Prolactin is also important, stimulating milk production after birth.
Your state of mind greatly affects the production and release of these hormones. A fearful, tense and anxious mind produces high rates of adrenaline which counteract your hormones. These subconscious chemical reactors are key players in your birth outcome. Hypno birthing is all about gearing you up with the right state of mind to ensure the best birthing experience.
