Trust Your Birthing Body - VBAC
by ANNE SWANSON, BS, HBCE
Many VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) mothers choose HypnoBirthing. Following is a list of benefits that HypnoBirthing provides and how it enhances a VBAC experience.
- HypnoBirthing techniques help mothers/families to release fear and doubt about previous birth experiences. It is important to be free of limiting thoughts to clear the path for subsequent births.
- HypnoBirthing advocates and teaches breathing techniques which promote profound levels of relaxation. When laboring mothers are fully relaxed in both mind and body their uterine surges are effective yet manageable.
- HypnoBirthing reduces and often eliminates the need for labor induction/augmentation and chemical painkillers. Minimizing induction and augmentation are important for successful VBAC's.
- Confidence and trust in the natural process of birth is crucial for all mothers, especially mothers desiring VBAC's. HypnoBirthing is very successful at empowering women to trust their bodies and their babies and to surrender to birth.
- Being able to visualize and actually imagine baby emerging through the birth path is crucial for VBAC mom's. The guided imagery and visualizations taught in HypnoBirthing assist in helping VBAC mom's to acheive this crucial step in preparing for their baby's birth.
- A deeply relaxed HypnoBirthing mom is working with her birthing body rather than resisting the process. Her body is then working in complete neuro-muscular harmony. This allows for optimal uterine functioning, shorter labors and less stress on mother's body and her baby.
- HypnoBirthing mothers most often 'breathe' their babies into the world, rather than forcefully pushing their babies out. This allows for reduced tension and fatigue in the mothers body, another factor that contributes to successful VBAC.
