Relaxation and Birth, continued
True, Hypnobabies may not work ideally for every couple. Just as with any birth, induction can make relaxation more difficult, as can not keeping up with daily practice. But, the proof is in the statistics. 70% of Hypnobabies moms say that they have a pain-free or manageable birth, thanks in part to the deep relaxation they are able to achieve.
Regardless of the class you take, remember that in order to achieve relaxation at birth, it takes a commitment to work on this at home, on your own. Read the scripts you are assigned, sign up for a pregnancy yoga class, meditate daily on how strong and wonderfully made your pregnant body is. Your birth will thank you for it.
