The use of hypnobirthing to promote normality

• The evidence supports hypnobirthing as a tool for increasing normal birth

• The hospital stay is reduced

Hypnobirth for women with complex needs

Hypnobirth works for all births. As many organisations look for ways to reduce the caesarean section rate and promote normality, hypnobirth encourages midwives and doctors to implement techniques in the high risk environment.
This section of the program includes supporting best practice in all birth environments, promoting oxytocin, supporting women with induction of labour and caesarean birth.
