Hypnosis, pregnancy and female problems

How can hypnosis help pregnant women and with respect to childbirth?

From the first days of pregnancy, the woman's body is transformed to welcome a new life. The changes affect not only the physical but also the mental and emotional world. Psychological support with the help of hypnosis proves to be a valid help for this particular phase of life.
With psychological support, in particular, we will be able to alleviate the small discomforts of the pregnant woman, facilitating the relationship with her body and her emotions and preparing her to face the moment of birth in a more conscious way. With hypnosis then we can help the woman to relax and find within herself the resources, the strength, the energy to better enjoy this wonderful moment.
The objectives, in short, are: to experience a pregnancy as peaceful as possible, knowing how to manage the symptoms, being with yourself and understanding your body, being more aware of your emotions, learning to listen to yourself and knowing how to manage the anxieties and fears that affect the present, share their experiences with other women.

Are the meetings individual or group?

The meetings can be individual or group. As a group, the path is structured in eight meetings. Relaxation exercises alternate with moments of sharing experiences.
Pregnancy and childbirth are often experienced with concern, but instead they can represent moments of serenity and personal and couple growth. The essential thing is to face them prepared, confident in their own resources and above all free from anxiety and anguish.
Starting precisely from the effectiveness that hypnosis has shown in the management of anxiety, in the strengthening of the ego and in the control of pain, a project to prepare for childbirth was developed that will make the future mother able to live it in the best possible way. .
Hypnosis is a valid ally to reach a state of inner well-being and tranquility and to tap into still unexpressed personal potential. During the hypnotic induction a pleasant relaxation is produced in the woman, a distraction of attention, an optimistic expectation with increase of self-esteem. Then by introducing adequate suggestions to obtain an alteration of perception, the pain relief will be even greater until it becomes total. The rational mind lightens itself until it gets rid of the social and anxious components of pain and the emotional mind is affirmed, strengthening itself so as to bring out the imprinting of those innate knowledge that physiologically support the completion of childbirth.

Preparing for childbirth through hypnosis is an excellent method to break the vicious circle of "anxiety-pain-anxiety-pain", clearly reducing the risk of maternal and fetal harm.

Through the hypnotic technique the pain is not eliminated, but it is modulated. The painful sensation, although present, reaches the conscience of the pregnant woman who is in a modified state (trance). The pain signal can be perceived in an attenuated and tolerable way. Above all, it interferes less with the ongoing dilation.

Among the objective advantages there is therefore the reduction of the times of labor, the "increase in the vitality index of the fetus, the reduction of bloody operations on the vaginal canal and extractive maneuvers of the fetus, the reduction of bleeding and the recovery period of the fetus." more rapid and complete puerpera.

Added to this is a better approach to a possible caesarean section and a better clinical and psychological recovery in the post-operative phase, with less pain in the settling of the uterus, a faster recovery of the intestine and a shorter period of immobilization in bed. .

It is also documented how this experience, although aimed at the birth event, produces an overall improvement of the person. Individual resources, mobilized and reinforced by hypnosis, can become a stable and accessible asset in times of need.

Last but not least, let us recall the general benefit that women derive from the use of hypnosis. This tool can in fact be used, even after childbirth, in any moment of life.
