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 D r.
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.
