Hypnobirthing Confessions: These Women Tried it - Here is the Truth!
Hypnobirthing? What's that? Basically, it is a natural birthing technique without any medication, that uses self-hypnosis techniques to combat fear and pain during labor. The result: you're not screaming in agony (like the typical birthing scene in films!), you're not linked up to all those bleeping machines in a brightly lit room with doctors and nurses running around you, and you're not pumped full of painkiller meds. Instead, birthing becomes a connective, intensely powerful female experience. That's why more and more women are opting out of the traditional hospital birth, and going for natural hypnobirthing i...
