Hypnobabies Home Study Course Review
by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Women's Health
The Hypnobabies Home Study Course is a five week course an expectant mother can take in the privacy of her own home. It has been proven very successful for the majority of expectant mothers as they can experience only slight or no discomfort in natural birthing. It is based on the \”Eyes Open Childbirth Hypnosis\” from master hypnotist Gerald Kein, and is perfect for those who are unable to attend a hypnobabies class or prefer to learn at home.
The course is advanced and complete, and teaches a nutritional program, prenatal exercises, a birth plan, optimal fetal positioning, avoiding back labor, anatomy and physiology, birthing choices, comfort and safety in pregnancy, consumer issues, staying healthy and low risk, unexpected situations and much more. There is a CD for her birth partner so that he or she is informed and more confident. There is also a booklet which shows the role of each participant in the birth process and how the birth partner can? provide support. The expectant mother practices between 35 and 45 minutes a day to prepare for the birth. She accesses one CD a day with subjects that promote a deepening self-hypnosis, and there are also 150 Joyful Pregnancy affirmations about pregnancy. She also will get a workbook to trace her progress.
The expectant mother in labor who takes the clear and concise course will be able to move around a room in a calm manner, and talk to others. She will be relaxed, and without fear or pain, just a minimum of discomfort. This upright stance will also aid in the positioning and delivery of the baby. Her subconscious will have been taught that labor contractions will be felt as only pressure, pushing, and movement of the baby. This is achieved by practicing the daily techniques which the course participants find enjoyable.
In the first lesson the mother learns to visualize and bond with her baby and goes to the next lesson where she learns self-hypnosis. There are seven more lessons, all spanning five weeks. The sixth week reviews the Cds and begins a maintenance schedule until the birth. The lessons are easy to learn and use. The course is not for midwives or doulas.
Participants in the course have also found they can successfully use the self-hypnosis techniques in all areas of their lives. The course is based on the same hypnosis that patients employ when going into surgery without medication. It is advisable to consult with a physician before using this product.
