At other times in history and in other cultures even today, women give birth without pain or fear. But all of our lives, we've been led to believe that childbirth is a really painful event. Not surprisingly, our expectations of pain lead us to become tense, anxious and fearful. This state of mind hinders the manufacture of a hormone called oxytocin, known as the love hormone. Oxytocin is important for quick, easy and pain-free births. Hypnosis for Childbirth mums learn to reduce their fear and anxiety and, as a result, they significantly decrease their chances of requiring any form of pain relief.
