Web MD Talks Hypnosis in a Delivery Room - HypnoBirthing For Hospital

Other childbirth processes approach pain as a given and try to find ways to deal with pain, from medication to massage, but HypnoBirthing teaches women to transform the sensation of pain so that it feels like something else, and preferably a pleasurable one. "The healthiest way to deliver a baby is to be very relaxed and allow the body to do it. Once labor begins, it has its own momentum and mom really doesn't need to do much of anything." says a Hypnobirthing RN Pat Burrell in an interview to Web MD,  where finally HypnoBirhting begins to take root in several publications on its pages.

Are You Ready for Baby?

Some choices (Paper or plastic? Coffee or espresso? "The X Factor" or "The Voice"?) are easy. But some, like when to have a baby, can be more of a challenge. Web MD talks about our readiness to welcome the baby into a relationship and how to make your choices when you are already pregnant.

Neo Soviet Russia Creates Peaceful Births

Visiting Russia, I could not help but notice the obvious absence of pregnant women in Moscow. Many pregnant women in Russia try to keep low profile and according to their old wives tale, a pregnant women should not be seen in public.

Yet the world has changed. A pregnant woman in a post Soviet Russia is a different woman. And she is not seen in public because she is driving a car. She usually is a healthy and aware upbeat and well kept lady. Some of my Russian clients no longer are bound to their country. They travel, live and work abroad, and are extremely well educated about nutrition (some of them are vegan) and the use of a midwife. Speaking with a recent acquaintance, I learned that giving birth in water, or at home is not a rarity.

"The hospital has such bad rep, and there is so much possibility for infection, that I tried my best to find another alternative," says Svetlana, a director of of Moscow's premier TV chanels, and, now pregnant, a Moscovite.

The Recent documentary about Russian Waterbirth, a concept of birthing in the Black Sea, at Crimea, is not an option yet for her. She is looking to birth at home with her husband Vladimir, both 24, and his sister, Marina, conveniently, their midwife. HypnoBirthing seemed like a good deal, and the couple is looking forward to creating the birth of their dreams.

So, I hope you too, as well, are looking forward to your birthing experience.
Join me for the next HypnBIrthing class scheduled in New York's premier location at Manhattan's Wall Street. Click here to enroll now as seating is limited.

And I hope you have a great birthing day!

In the meantime, enjoy the birthing video excerpt from The Russian Waterbirth

Halloween Birth - Is your Baby due on a Scary Holiday?

I have to give it to some parents, who dress their babies up to express their sense of humor to the scariest holiday of the year!

But what are you supposed to do when your baby is due on Halloween?

The study in the Yale School of Public Health, held recently( see full article), apparently shows that women are able to influence their due date by simply avoiding going into labor on and around the non-desirable or inauspicious date.

Apparently there is a belief about being influenced by skeletons and witches, even if in the every day life women refuse to recognize the scary personages existence.

Dr. Levy emphasizes that a connection between the state of mind of pregnant women and hormone levels could explain the link between their start of labor and the date of baby arrival.


Professionals analyzed the birth certificates of babies born on or around Halloween and on or around Valentine's days. It turns out that consistently the amount of babies born on Halloween is 11% lower and those born on Valentine's is 5% higher than births other dates.



There are stories about how babies "want to wait"until their fathers come back from military mission, around their due date, as well as babies avoiding to be born in a hospital by birthing in cars on the way, or creating precipitous birth ( less than 3 hour birth experience).

Learn more about mental baby birth preparation and creating baby birth joyous experience by taking a HypnoBirthing class with Morrin Bass. 

ROYAL CHRISTENING FOR BABY GEORGE

Royal christening yesterday, gives me one more reason to mention in my blog the mother Princess Kate in her dutiful beauty and glow of her truly sincere happy motherhood.

Princess Kate looked lovely in her happy motherly glow gazing into the baby George's eyes along with Prince William yesterday at the Kensignton Palace ceremony.

Baby George looking more like his mother with the button nose, than like his father, prince William, is 3 months old.

Princess Kate is said to be a calm and a very soothed happy mother, which obviously will be reflected on the behavior of the little baby-boy George.

I followed the royal couple in their HypnoBirthing preparation and birthing and now calm parenthood of the new heir, out of professional interest and personal fascination with beautiful people. I think Kate is beautiful as a woman and in her calm gravitas and deep personal presence. A calm mother makes, or rather helps making, a calm leveled ruler, if George were to become a king. I am for a level-headed ruler, aren't you?

Reasons to Meditate - for New Moms

It may seem like a strange thing to do, to just sit and do basically nothing.
Yet, this doing nothing has strong impact on your effectiveness and decision making throughout the day.

Buddhist meditators suggest, that it is a well known fact that the human experience is a roller-coaster ride. To be able to manage and balance the way we perceive ourselves and our own experience is a skill which needs to be trained into most people.

This skill of managing your own experience is particularly useful for new mothers. Recent studies suggest that a calm mother produces more breast milk, is a better judge of her own behavioral choices, and a more generous lover to her partner.

Meditation is not just about feeling good, although the result of relaxed being is an increased production of oxytocin, endorphins and establishment of generally elevated mood. Meditative experiences 
1. largely eliminate post-partum depression, 
2. compulsive behaviors of overeating, drinking or emotional roller-coasters, and 
3. introduce better judgement toward yourself and others, generosity of spirit, and consequently, 
4. better quality and quantity of breastmilk, and as a result,
5. healthier and stronger, more resilient babies.

Soul of The Baby

You may know, that studying customs of various people's is one of my passions. Recently, I came across an interesting information in my research, relating to birthing customs.

In ancient times it was believed that a person's soul lives inside their body and escapes when a person opens their mouth. Therefore, a custom was to keep mouths closed, in particular, during childbirth, be silent and not speak.

In Southern Celebes, Indonesia, to prevent the escape of a woman's soul at childbirth, the nurse, ties a band as tightly as possible round the body of the expectant mother. And to prevent the soul of the baby escape, they are careful to close every opening in the house, even cracks in the walls. They tie up the animals' mouths inside and outside of the house, as well as all people in the house, and including the birthing mother's.

The mother herself is obliged to keep her mouth shut the whole time birthing is taking place. I guess it was easily possible for a mother, to keep silent, I suppose, breathing just through her nose, prompted her to take deep breaths and made it all easier for her during her childbirth and easier for the baby. Who knows why they created customs like that, although my belief, that it worked to ease the childbirth. Whatever it was, birthing with silence it is!

Breathe and relax. Laugh and enjoy.

There Is No Pain In Her Hospital Room

A news journalist sounds surprised when she finds out that some pregnant couples don't report pain while having childbirth. Entering into their birthing room, she discovers about the surprising results HypnoBirthing allows couples create for their experience of childbirth.

HypnoBirthing starts with become attentive to the language we use, and also learning to say "no" to drugs during the birth. HypnoBirthing is more than a set of techniques, it is a philosophy of natural birth, a calm lifestyle and training of the mind in the direction of calm, yet active birthing experience.

Don't Look Away! Your Boy Is Watching!

I want to give you some importnat pice of information that you may have not noticed. There is neuroscientific research about newborn boys, that genetically boys are programmed differently than girls.

Any mother desires to look into her baby's eyes as soon as the baby is born. Gazing into your baby's eyes is the most significant moment. And all the mother wants to do is to keep gazing....

Well, the boys are genetically programmed to look into your eyes, check you out, make sure you are mom, or dad, and then look away. Boys keep and direct their attention in a different way than girls.

Boys, who are becoming men, are a programmed for protection, and hunting. They have to be fast and they have to be checking out the environment. That's why they look away, to protect. Then they always return their gaze to you.

Usually, and unfortunately though, the majority of moms already also took their gaze elsewhere. You are not looking at me, I am not looking at you. So the boy returns his gaze to his moms' but she is busy elsewhere. By the time they are 3 months old, they are already habituated the inability to keep deep and prolonged eye contact. And with this, the inability to deep emotional connection, understanding, and compassion.

The girls are different. Girls are programmed for gathering, nurturing, mothering. They gaze and gaze and gaze into your eyes since birth. They are able to watch you for hours, sharing exchanging love. Due to the genetic programming, girls are emotionally open to compassion toward another since early age.

Then they both grow up. And one day, on the first date, she wants his emotional openness, and he is gazing away, checking things out. It's not that they have different goals, just different genetic imprint.

Help your son to regain this ability to significant eye contact. Allow your baby to have all the possibilities and all the love you stared for him so far. Gaze into your boy's eyes, even if he looks away, and when he looks away, keep looking at him, so when he returns his eyes to yours, you are here for him.

True Ecstasy of Primal Birth

I ROARRRRRR'ed my second child into this world...and immediately after she was born, the feeling of her laying on my chest was truly ecstasy.

Many of my student-moms report peace and calm during their labor and birth of their child. They say they got to practice relaxation and breathing and a few other techniques and visualizations, and had a smooth transition to crowning.

Many say they used an effective technique called toning. Vocal toning is nothing other than full exhalation. When we experience sensations, calm deep breathing helps us alleviate those sensations and translate them into pleasure. 

Vocal toning can be effective in creating a particular mood or feeling. When we experience pleasure we "purr" or "roar" with ecstasy, as described in the quote above. Often we "owh," and "mhm," and create sensations with peaceful rolls in our vocal cords. 

At final stages of birthing, when baby is crowning, there is an urge to push. Breathe with it. Some moms find it easy to go primal and roar on the exhale going with the flow of this urge. 

It is so easy to find your way, when you are calm. At all times keep the calm attitude and the positive way of joyful anticipation of your baby. 

Your body knows what to do!

Share your comments, observations, and share this post with your pregnant friends.

Our next HypnoBirthing class will teach them how to achieve a calm birth and enjoy your labor.
