Hypno-Birthing

Hypno-birthing is an important new tool in obstetrics. It’s now possible to give birth with little or no pain - without drugs - using hypnosis. The mind has the ability to select the data it will consciously register from sensory inputs. As such, data from the source of feeling does not become a realized sensation until it is interpreted and acknowledged by the mind.

For example, until I mention this, you don’t feel your shoes. Yet the sensory inputs in the feet are continuously sending "shoe-feeling" data. The mind simply decides what it will or won’t feel. By helping the mind to shut off the data stream before it’s translated into the sensation we call "pain," it’s possible to reduce or eliminate pain during childbirth using hypnotherapy.
