It's a common misconception, that Hypnobirthing is just for people who haven't given birth before. But this really is not the case (quite the opposite).
While yes, Hypnobirthing is GREAT for first timer's, it may surprise you to learn that over half of the couples that have taken a hypnobirthing course with me have not been first time parents!
. For those women/couples in subsequent pregnancies, they often seek out hypnobirthing in the hopes of achieving a more positive birth experience than they had before. These parents might be holding on to fear & anxiety from that first birth and hope to learn the techniques to feel more in control and calm this time around.
During our classes we talk about any existing fears and anxieties surrounding birth (this applies to everyone), and empower birthing people and their chosen birth partner with the knowledge and techniques to help release those fears.
I’ve taught 2nd and 3rd time parents, some of which have had previous vaginal deliveries and other’s c-sections. The point is, hypnobirthing is an incredible skill that can be used for any type of birth, in any setting- no matter how many previous births you’ve had.
