Are there really that many more women than in the past requiring caesarean deliveries?
Research shows that hypnosis is very effective in all areas of childbirth but more than anything, it offers a huge benefit in helping a woman to overcome the fear/tension/pain cycle. Gaining control over the fears associated with childbirth may not only influence a woman’s decision on the use of invasive analgesics but, more and more often, her decision about opting for a caesarean delivery when not medically necessary.Our culture has taken on the erroneous belief that childbirth must be painful (and un-natural) and so it is very rewarding to help a woman overcome her fears, teach her how to control the sensations during child birth, and allow her to enjoy the incredible experience of delivering her child in a natural manner. After all, what is more natural than childbirth?
