HypnoBirthing® UK
HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan
Method
Are you interested in
using self hypnosis for labour and childbirth?
Do you want to be in control
of your birth?
Are you looking for an easy, comfortable, and a drug-free
birth?
Now in its seventeenth year, HypnoBirthing®
is a complete antenatal education.
It is way beyond the antenatal care you
will receive within the NHS.
Our birthing classes are intended to help you
have the most
natural childbirth possible,
using easily-learned self
hypnosis and breathing techniques.
Whatever kind of birth you're planning -
homebirth, hospital or birthing centre -
HypnoBirthing® can help.
When having your baby with HypnoBirthing®,
what you will experience is similar to the daydreaming or focusing that occurs
when you are engrossed in a book or staring at a fire. You will be conversant
and in good spirits totally relaxed, but fully in control. You will be aware
of your bodys contractions, but will be able to determine the extent to which
you feel the surge. You will experience your birthing in an atmosphere of calm
and relaxation, without the fear and tension that cause pain. Your bodys
natural anaesthesia (endorphins) will replace the stress hormones that cause
pain.
When it is
time for you baby to be born, you will be fully awake and
involved.

What
Parents are Saying
"How could I believe when I had gone through
not one, but two long and excruciating labours? I was petrified. Then I found
HypnoBirthing. This birth took 4½ hours.
I was relaxed and
comfortable all the way. It was wonderful!"
"I was with my wife for the birth of our first child. It was a bad experience
for us. Most of the techniques we practiced from the other course just
weren't there for us. HypnoBirthing® was far more than we had even hoped for. Our
daughter came into the world so easily and in such a calm
atmosphere."
"I kept telling myself all I would feel is
pressure and it works! That's all I did feel. What a difference from my
first labour!"
"I read of the advantages of self-hypnosis and
relaxation in a magazine and set out to find a programme that could teach me the
method. I'm so happy I found HypnoBirthing®! This was our first
baby, and my active labour was only three hours from start to end. We were
thrilled."

The
Classes
The classes can be either in a small group (between 3 and 6 couples) or on a one to one basis.
The programme consists of 4x3 hour classes
and there is no ideal time during pregnancy to start - I have even worked with
couples at 38 weeks and still achieved the desired outcome!
The sessions give
you time to practice the techniques between classes.
If you require further 'top up' sessons to clear a
specific traumatic experience,
or a more serious fear, I am able to offer
these separately.
For those parents who live longer distances away eg. Northumberland/Borders, I am able to offer greater flexibility with sessions and these are usually run in Morpeth.
The Cost
Group cost
- £295
Individual - price on enquiry
The course is designed for
couples (mother and birth companion). The birth companion plays an important
role and whilst mums on their own are very welcome, you will gain optimum
benefit from having a reliable birthing partner attend your classes with
you.
If
your baby's due date is on or after 6th April 2009, and you're 25 weeks
pregnant or more,
you're entitled to a £190 grant (in other words, free
money you don't have to pay back)
to help prepare for the birth of your
baby.
To claim your free money, which you
