HypnoBirthing®
- The Mongan Method is as much a philosophy as it is a
technique. The concept of HypnoBirthing® is not new, but rather
a "rebirth" of the philosophy of birthing as it existed
thousands of years ago and as it was recaptured in the work of Dr.
Grantly Dick-Read, an English obstetrician, who first forwarded
the concept of natural birthing in the 1920s. The method
teaches you that in the absence of fear and tension, severe pain
does not have to be an accompaniment of labor.
You will gain an understanding of how the birthing muscles work
in perfect harmony--as they were designed to--when your body is
sufficiently relaxed. You will learn how to achieve this
kind of relaxation, free of the resistance that fear creates, and
you will learn to use your natural birthing instincts for a calm,
serene and comfortable birthing.
When you have your baby with HypnoBirthing®, you will not be
in a trance or a sleep. What you will experience is similar to the
daydreaming or focusing that occurs when you are engrossed in a
book or a movie or staring into a fire.
You will be conversant and in good spirits--totally relaxed, but
fully in control. Awake throughout, you will be aware of your body's
surges; but because you will have trained yourself to reach complete
relaxation, you will be able to determine the degree to
which you will feel the surges. You will experience birthing
in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free of the fear and tension
that prevents the muscles of your body from functioning as nature
intended them to. In this calm state your body's natural
anesthesia, endorphins, replaces the stress hormones that constrict
and cause pain.
Trained educators of HypnoBirthing® are successfully teaching
women and their birthing companions relaxation techniques of HypnoBirthing®
that eliminate the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome throughout the United
States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, France, Germany,
Holland, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
