Hypnobirthing may seem like some new age baloney that falls into the same category as healing crystals and reflexology but in reality there is a lot of empirical evidence that supports hypnosis and in particular giving birth under the influences of hypnosis or that is hypnobirthing.
 

1. No drugs - hypnobirthing does the job of many drugs which could otherwise post potential risk to your child. However there is zero chance that you or your baby could be negatively affected by the hypnosis used in hypnobirthing, due many to the fact that the hypnosis works on the brain as opposed to the nerve synapses that drugs effect. Thus hypnobirthing reviews suggest that if you wanted to limit the risk during pregnancy and labour hypnobirthing is right for you.
 

2. Hypnobirthing is easy to learn - Despite what you may think hypnobirthing doesn't require complex visualization techniques or years of training, in fact it can be as simple of purchasing a CD sitting back and chilling your way through the entire birthing process. Granted there are advanced hypnobirthing techniques that you can do to make the process even more comfortable there aren't necessarily necessary. Using drugs and other pain relief methods requires no learning at all, we believe that offsetting the associated risks is well worth the time and effort that it takes to learn a little hypnobirthing. And in reality you don’t need to put too much effort into the learning, it’s as simple as grabbing a hypnobirthing CD or hypnobirthing MP3 and listening to it.
 

3. Hypnobirthing isn’t a onetime thing - Of all the methods of pain relief associated with giving birth, hypnobirthing is perhaps better simply because you can use it more than once. This means that not are only saving money over more than one pregnancies but also you will in fact be compounding the safety that comes about by not using drugs and other invasive surgery some of which can leave scars on your body too.
 

4. Hypnobirthing can be done by a professional - If you don’t feel up do doing the hypnobirthing yourself that’s just fine. If you want you can hire a trained hypnotist who specialises in helping women give birth AKA a doula. These are people who in most cases have years of experience in hypnotherapy.
 

5. Hypnotherapy can make you give birth quicker - That right! Just think that if you learn and use hypnotherapy the most painful experience of your life can be drastically reduced in terms of time. In fact if you have a strong enough aptitude, practice hard and have a bit of luck you birth could be reduced by as much as 4 hours during the first stage of labour. And in fact some hypnobirthing DVDs have specific sections for helping this.
 

So there you have five reasons why hypnobirthing may be better for you than other methods of pain relief for labour.
