so says my hypnobirthing pin... and everywhere i look there are negative messages about birth. its painful, its long, and the ever popular... it sucks but its SO worth it at the end. then there are the birth videos that i've been watching in class. its amazing.
paul made a good point the other day... that the word hypno- put in front of the word -birthing throws people off. i would have to agree with him. what a lot of people know about hypnosis is the stage show type. most of the times its used for laughs. people acting like monkeys, people eating raw onions, people seemingly hypnotized to do things they wouldn't normally would (which is kind of funny to me because i guess having a stress free birthing experience maybe would be something a person wouldn't normally would lol). a lot of people don't know that hypnosis is used in may other things and its hard to surrender to what you don't know.
paul says it would be better if its called 'deep relaxation birthing'. thats what hypnobirthing basically is... and to go into that deep relaxing state, we use hypnosis. we use hypnosis to release our fears about birth itself and to break the fear-tension-pain cycle.
i feel like i should video tape jake's birth so my friends and family can be believers in a safe, easy, and stress free birth. funny, because i was never THAT confident about this... but now i am. i want to share this with EVERYONE.
yes, i didn't say pain free because thats not what they promise. still, birth doesn't have to be agonizing. it can be a WONDERFUL experience.
i've seen it so... i hope to have one too.
