HypnoBirthing® is a childbirth education series. When having your baby with HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method , what you experience is similar to the day dreaming or focusing that occurs when you are engrossed in a book or staring at a fire. You will be relaxed, but fully in control. You will be aware of your body’s sensations and surges, but will be able to determine the extent to which you feel the surge. You will experience your birthing in an atmosphere of calm and relaxation, without fear and tension that cause discomfort. Your body’s natural relaxant (endorphins) will replace the stress hormones that create pain. When it is time for your baby to be born, you will be fully awake and involved.
