Hypnobirthing
The main goals of hypnobirthing are to reduce overall discomfort and calm fear and anxiety during childbirth by teaching pregnant women relaxation techniques and offering a perspective on delivery that doesn't emphasize pain and suffering. When utilizing hypnobirthing techniques, you are not actually hypnotized. They are designed to induce deep relaxation and block out discomfort. In essence, it's pregnancy meditation with a mind-over-matter focus, where you view your contractions as "surges and waves" that will eventually lead to the birth of your child instead of as an unpleasant experience. If you shift your perspective, instead of seeing pain or loss, you might realize that your body is bringing about the miracle of birth.
