  • Title: Hypnosis: removing the labour from birth.
    Author: Mottershead N.
    Journal: Pract Midwife; 2006 Mar; 9(3):26-7, 29. PubMed ID: 16562656.
    Abstract:
    Hypnosis has been used in obstetrics for more than a century. However, with increasing numbers of women looking for alternative coping strategies for use during labour, the birth of a new discipline, HypnoBirthing, is gaining in popularity. HypnoBirthing is a hypnotherapy programme specifically designed for birth, employing the principles and techniques of hypnosis and self-relaxation. This article explains the philosophy and principles of HypnoBirthing, the evidence base and its physiological impact on labouring women, brought to life by real accounts.
