HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Classes The Mongan Method |
|
|
HypnoBirthing is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. It is a rewarding, relaxing, stress-free method of birthing that is based in the belief that when a mother is properly prepared for birthing physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, she can experience the joy of birthing her baby in an easier, more comfortable manner. HypnoBirthing returns a woman to the art of childbirth in a way that allows her to summon her natural birthing instincts. HypnoBirthing is based on the belief that severe pain does not need to be a natural accompaniment to labor. Obstetrician Dr. Lorne Campbell has attended over 200 births using HypnoBirthing®.

When in my pregnancy should I take this class? Like most things, the key to successful HypnoBirthing® is practice, practice, practice! Most women find that having three to four months to learn and practice the self-hypnosis techniques is ideal. However, whether your baby is due to arrive soon after the class ends or whether you’re early in your pregnancy, the skills learned in class will be invaluable for your preparation along the journey to birthing your baby. What will you learn? ~ Techniques for safe, shorter, and more comfortable birthing through guided imagery, visualization, and special breathing ~ Relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques to eliminate the fear of the unknown and tension that cause long labor and pain, replacing it with confidence, calm & comfort ~ An understanding of the body’s natural process during labor in order to create your own natural anesthesia and work with your body instead of against it ~ How the “stages of labor” are affected by deep relaxation How will HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Preparation benefit you? ~Teaches you to eliminate the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome before, during and after labor ~ Eliminates the need for chemical anesthesia in most cases ~ Shortens the first stage of labor by several hours ~ Eliminates fatigue during labor ~ Brings together the mother, baby, and birthing companion in a wonderful pre-natal bonding experience ~ Invites the birthing companion to be an integral part of the birthing, not an onlooker or coach ~ Postnatal recovery is rapid & easier ~ Birthing is returned to the beautiful & peaceful experience that nature intended Classes are 3-hours long, and meet for five weeks. The cost of the class is $275.00 per couple, which includes book, CD, and several handouts. Refreshments served at each class. Birth companions (spouse, partner, family member, doula or friend) are encouraged to attend classes as well, as they play an integral role in the birthing process. HypnoBirthing classes are held at 101 S. Whiting Street, Suite 314, Alexandria, Virginia.
