Hypnobirthing Info Wanted

[pookie2]

Is there any such thing as hypnobirthing classes in Dundalk / Co. Louth area? Have heard lots about it & would like to check it out…

[Daisy37]

Pookie2, good woman, its the sane choice! I did it on mt 3rd baby and it was brilliant, much easier than my previous 2 births.

The best place to start is with a book called ‘The Better Birth Book’ its extremely well put together and is full of practical advice.

It has loads of great information in it. Also, check out http://www.doulaireland.com you can find out lots about it there too

The person you need to speak with is Tracy Donegan and she is the birth expert on here, click into ‘Ask the pregnancy & Birth’ expert, in the little box on the top left here and you can get in touch with Tracy directly

Good luck, let us know how you get on with it!

Hi Pookie,

I teach GentleBirth hypnobirthing weekend workshops in the City North Hotel every month except December. My next workshop is coming up on Nov 27 & 28. It’s a wonderful way to prepare for your baby’s birth and really enjoy your pregnancy without any anxiety around the birth.

Have a look at http://www.GentleBirth.ie for more details or give me a ring and we can chat live.

Daisy – thank you for the recommendations 😀

Does hyponbirthing still help if you are induced, I want to advoid an epidural if I can and stay in some what control not lose the plot!

i didnt do hypnobirthing but i did get bypnosis to give up smoking and use what i was thought at that to relax when in labour…….. i didnt feel as much as a niggle up to 7cm, then i got epidural and a section.

I was sorry i didnt do a course as its brilliant

This is a great news piece with a journalist who decided to test out hypnobirthing…..she is sooooo calm at 8cm. No fear…just focused on relaxing and letting her body do the work.

i used a form of hypnotheraphy on the birth of my first, i only got to 7cm then needed a section, but up to the 7cm i didnt feel a thing, the midwives were saying "you have to be feeling that, its a massive contraction!"
I had no drugs, nothing and i didnt feel as much as a niggle

Great to hear Taylor – when I was in Singapore a Midwife told me about a caesarean she attended using only hypnosis back in the 80s. The poor Midwife was more nervous than the woman! (The Mum was trained by her obstetrician) 😀

Hi Lyn,

If you click on the Gentlebirth banner ad above on Mumstown, there is some great information on there. (fyi; gentlebirth = hypnobirth)

Tracy Donegan runs the hypnobirthing/gentlebirthing classes and she is the birth expert on here so she will come back you to you on the classes.

Its the way to go, I found it amazing….such a difference between my first two births without it and my third with it. Its brill.

Good luck!

Hi Lynn -yes the next class is May 28 & 29. I run a workshop every month.
