I am very excited to finally be starting our birthing class tonight. I have been doing a lot of reading about child birthing since before getting pregnant and decided that hypnobirthing was something I wanted to try. Lucky for us, there is an instructor in the Twin Cities and we will be able to take a class instead of just reading the books.
For those of you who don't know...hypnobirthing is a natural birthing technique involving a form a self hypnosis. It's philosophies stem from the idea that childbirth is a natural, normal process that has been around since the first human and that by overcoming our fears about birthing, we can also overcome a lot of the pain. Well, that's the most basic outline.
Our midwife has only had one patient try hypnobirthing but she says she was impressed by the outcomes. We hope to be her second successful attempt :)
