FAQs
- What is Hypnobabies?
- Hypnobabies is a 6 week complete childbirth education course, covering Nutrition, Prenatal Exercise, Staying Healthy and Low Risk, Birth Plans, Comfort in Pregnancy, Consumer issues (Birthing Choices), New Baby Care and much more.
- Instead of doing patterned breathing or simple relaxation exercises, our Hypno-moms and their Birth Partners learn self-hypnosis sessions in class so that our Hypno-moms can work towards enjoying an easier, more comfortable birth.
- We do a different hypnosis session in most of our 6 classes, and each hypno-couple takes home a modified script of that same session to work with, learning a new part of the program each week for 6 weeks.

- When is the ideal time for a mom/couple to take a Hypnobabies class?
- Any time is good, with the ideal start time being between 25 - 30 weeks. This allows mom and birth partner to complete the class by "early term" and have a few weeks for maintenance Home Play. Classes may taken earlier; however, it is important that mom and birth partner understand that upkeep of the maintenance Home Play will be necessary throughout the remainder of the pregnancy.

- There is also daily individual brief hypnosis practice for you to complete and some reading homework for you and your Birth Partner each week.
