What do you see when you look at a newborn baby, bright-eyed, gazing straight at you? Is there really a person there? Silently frowning or beet-red with rage, can this baby think and feel? For its small size, a newborn makes a powerful, compelling noise, but is it actually saying anything?
The truth is, much of what we have traditionally believed about babies is false. We have misunderstood and underestimated their abilities. They are not simple beings but complex and ageless, small creatures with unexpectedly large thoughts.

Hypnobirthing - Preparing the mind-body for birth |
"HypnoBirthing® (the Mongan method) is a unique, practical birth preparation technique that has been growing in popularity across the globe since its inception in 1989. The fundamental drive and philosophy of its many enthusiastic Practitioners is that the manner in which babies are born deeply influences their mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. The aim of HypnoBirthing is to work with the mind and body to enable mothers to birth their babies in a calm, peaceful and joyful manner, which results in calm, contented babies and closely bonded families."......
"Through the relatively new study of foetology, or prenatal psychology, excellently documented by Dr Thomas Verny in his book The Secret Life of the Unborn Child, we have understood at least since the 1970s that this imprint period starts almost from the moment of conception. Unborn babies are aware, are capable of learning and will strive to make sense of what they are feeling and experiencing.".......

Hypnobirthing: No Swinging Watch or Pain
|
In Marie Mongan's day, child birth meant a sterile, medicalized birth with drugs, and if you happened to be awake, lots of painful pushing.
"Most women were totally anesthetized and out cold, and their babies were taken from them with forceps, except for the very few who didn't make it to the hospital and had them by the side of the road," said Mongan, now 77.
So Mongan, then a young New Hampshire English teacher, devised her own way to circumvent the system when she had her four children in the late 1950s and 1960s.
She practiced a form of self-hypnosis, relaxing and imagining a calm birth, one that was painless.Today, the her method has a registered trademark -- HypnoBirthing -- and women in 34 countries, including celebrity mothers like Jessica Alba, Giselle Bundschen, Pamela Anderson, and "ER's" Noah Wyle's wife Tracy, have learned how to put mind over matter.
Actress Tiffani Thiessen of television's "Saved By the Bell" and "90210" has also just announced she will prepare for a HypnoBirth.
"We are very conscious of the mind-body connection and any approaches that can reduce the need for medication are a good thing," said Dr. Tracy Gaudet, an obstetrician and executive director of Duke University's Center for Integrative Medicine.

Jessica Alba advocates HypnoBirthing for new baby

Actress Jessica Alba learned her lesson the first time: Giving birth is stressful, and she plans to do whatever it takes to relax. The actress has turned to a practice called HypnoBirthing to ensure her next labor experience is as chill as possible.
"It's different for everyone, although I do recommend the HypnoBirthing classes," Alba, who is pregnant with her second child, told Us Weekly on Monday at a Beverly Hills store opening. "I highly recommend it. It just makes you chill."

Kate Middleton's secret Hypnobirth plan
The Duchess of Cambridge wants to try the new trend for a ‘pain-free’ birth. Kate Middleton hasn't been shy about breaking with tradition during her first pregnancy. And now we can reveal the Royal mum-to-be is looking at another 'alternative' option: hypnobirth. Royal sources say Kate is looking into the celebrity trend, which uses hypnotherapy techniques to help reduce pain during labour. Read more here...... Kate Middleton Considers Hypnobirth, But What Is It? For women – especially mothers who may need Cesarean (and the Duchess may be one of these), Katherine says that hypnobirthing can help women to feel like the birth is in their control, which some women don’t. She says: “The caesarean rate is approaching 30% and I don’t believe 1 in 4 women are getting to a state where they can’t give birth. Women who do hypnobirthing and who’ve had a caesarean say: 'Everyone was flapping around me but I was calm and felt in control. It was my birth it wasn’t just something that was one to me. Some women get post-natal depression largely because they feel like they’ve lost control.'" Gail Johnson, Professional Advisor (Education) at the Royal College of Midwives agrees and says: "Anecdotally, with hypnobirthing, women feel more in control and that is something that will help them with birth process. But, the evidence is hard because you don’t know what the labour would’ve been like without the influence of hypnosis. However, if women are following it and having a positive experience then that's a bonus." Read more here......
