A Midwife's Experience ...
Despite the fact that I have been
attending births for fourteen years, my first experience with
Hypnobabies happened only a year ago…and I have to admit that I wasn’t
looking forward to it. Why not? ...

"Hypnosis allows expectant moms to work on eliminating the social stigma that birth is a "terrible" process to be feared. I'm doing it myself for my own birth...even though I started out as a TOTAL skeptic... I went to a one day training just to add to my pool of doula knowledge and realized that it was actually nothing like I had imagined it would be...several months later I'm an instructor and going through the process for my own birth- who'd have thunk? I too had visions of country fair hypnotists or cartoons of people with swirly eyes following a stop watch going back and forth. Now, I LOVE preparing for my birth. I get to listen to affirmations every day and find myself thinking, "ya, i DO look beautiful...i'm not afraid of birth....i CAN do this!" I also get to practice the scripts with my husband which is a really bonding, tender experience- plus it allows my baby to hear his voice again and again."
