HypnoBirthing®

    The Mongan Method

Pain Management in Labour

Any medication -whether to induce labour, relieve pain or anaethetize - will cross the placenta and affect the baby. As a parent would you choose to give drugs to your newborn baby?

Research has shown that babies born to mothers who had epidural anaesthesia, tend to demonstrate more trembling, irritability and immature motor activitiy on the first day compared to babies whose mothers did not take medication. It was not until the 5th day that the 2 groups of babies exhibited similiar behaviour.

Medication will suppress your body's natural efforts to work with your bodies contractions, this reduces muscle tone and prolongs labour, which in turn leads to increased administration of drugs to speed labour up and more chemical pain relief is required - a vicious cycle.

There is an alternative to drugs - HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method. The HypnoBirthing® programme will teach you and your partner to use self hypnosis to be in control, while enjoying an easy, comfortable and drug-free birth.
