Hypnobirthing

KG Hypnobirthing (KGH)  is a complete antenatal/labour preparation programme for expectant parents, either in a group or individual basis, to help them efficiently prepare for labour and birth. It involves giving a positive perspective of the birthing process by helping to influence unconscious beliefs, releasing fears and negative thoughts and replacing them with positive images. This is done using positive affirmations, and daily practice of relaxation techniques and listening to scripts read by a trusted birth partner in preparation for the birth. KGH has been shown to reduce the discomfort of labour, shorten labour times and give more control, choice and confidence to women for a calm birth with good communication with caregivers. 

Benefits are evident for the Mother, Father and Baby.

Mother

•  Feelings of control and calmness
• Less cortisol stress hormone released permitting the body to remain relaxed
• Increased oxytocin (labour) hormone released promoting release of the natural pain relieving endogenous morphine (also known as Endorphins)
• Less additional pain relief required
• Shorter labour
• Effectively used with water birthing for added relaxation  
• KGH trained midwives are available at Peterborough City Hospital to support you during labour

Father

• Confident and relaxed as he is informed about birth process
• Enriched relationship with the Mother

Baby

• As a result of the antenatal preparation baby is encouraged to present to the pelvis in the best way prior to labour starting
• Born into a calm relaxed atmosphere
• Baby is alert as less circulating drugs present in their body
• Calm relaxed parents are more likely to bond well with baby
