Hypnobirthing is a childbirth education program that emphasizes the power of self-hypnosis, deep relaxation, and breathing techniques to facilitate a more serene and controlled birth experience. Traditional birthing methods often involve various medical interventions and can cultivate panic about the birthing process. The primary principle of hypnobirthing is to remove fear and tension, often associated with childbirth. It advocates that severe pain or distress does not have to be a part of labor when these negative feelings are absent. The philosophy also revolves around the belief that a woman's body is innately designed to give birth. It encourages mothers (birthing persons) to trust their bodies and the natural birth process.
