What is hypnobirthing?


hypnobirthing, hypnobirthing for dads,

We've written previously about hypnobirthing, and specifically the role of dads in hypnobirthing, and in its simplest terms, hypnobirthing is a set of relaxation and visualisation techniques designed to help women eliminate fear and anxiety about birth and replace it with a positive and calm approach. More and more women are turning to hypnobirthing if they want a natural birth, and feeling as in-control as possible.


Why write a book on hypnobirthing for dads?


There were quite a few reasons behind this book. The first being that 1 in 3 women experience serious birth trauma, which in turn not only contributes to post-partum issues all round, but also leads to genuine birth fear in the future.

The other reason is all about re-thinking things that we’ve taken for granted. We’re taught so often that birth is something to be feared, something to go into some trepidation with. And of course there are some very real challenges that occur during pregnancy and birth, but there's also a lack of awareness generally about how much better the birth experience can be, and also the rights that partners have in the process.


It all comes together in this book to try and inspire what the optimal birth experience for mother, baby, and dad can be. It's something we cover in more depth across the 'Guardian of the cave' chapter about understanding how humans used to birth (literally guarding our partners against predators), and how we have an opportunity to increase the oxytocin that mothers get to drive far more optimal births.

There's an all too common perception that dads have a very limited role at birth - usually the chair in the corner at best. But with Hypnobirthing it can be so so much more, as Ben G, one of the dads in the community we interviewed attested to
