What is HypnoBirthing? What does it teach? Will it prepare me for birth? Will it prepare my partner for birth? Am I " under hypnosis"? Can I do Hypnobirthing if I am planning intervention or a hospital birth (yes you absolutely can is the answer btw!)? When we first become pregnant it can be confusing and over whelming knowing where to even start with birth preparation education. So for this episode we are going to chat all about what HypnoBirthing is and what it offers as well as debunk some of the many myths surrounding this comprehensive childbirth preparation class. And who better to chat HypnoBirthing with then the Vice President of the HypnoBirthing® International Institute- Anthea Thomas!
