Short:

• Gentle childbirth is not a myth, but a real possibility
• Millions of women around the world experience gentle, simple and easy childbirth
• You don’t know the opposite

Advantages:

• More relaxed birth preparation
• Pain-reduced birth
• Pregnancy progression is positively supported by self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques
• Hypnosis helps you to face birth more calmly
• Birth is experienced more calmly and without fear
• When the mother is relaxed, the child in the womb is also relaxed
• Stress for the child is minimized
• In many cases, birth is significantly shortened

Study:

• University of Tübingen and the Westphalian Institute for Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy conducted a study on this topic
• Birth took an average of two hours shorter for first-time mothers when prepared with hypnosis than for the control group
• 80 percent of the control group stated that they had experienced “terrible pain” during childbirth
• In the hypnosis group it was only 50 percent
• Study leader Helga Hüsken-Jansen is convinced that practice makes perfect

• Of course, a completely pain-free birth cannot be guaranteed and hypnosis does not replace a midwife, doctor or anything else (e.g. a doula or other birth attendant etc.)

Simpson Protocol Foundational Birthing:

• SPFB (Simpson Protocol Foundational Birthing) is a specially developed program (by a midwife)
• Includes a total of 5 sessions
• More than just learning pain relief
• Unhelpful beliefs can be dissolved
• Special: the possibility of creating a connection between mother and child and the communication this makes possible
• (Sounds strange at first, but from experience I can say that the child’s life begins shortly after conception)
