Should I take a Hypnobabies group class or do the Home-Study course?
Our Hypnobabies Home-Study Course has been used with great success by hundreds of thousands of pregnant students all over the world. It contains all of the basic Hypnobabies natural childbirth curriculum, hypnosis scripts and cues. However, we suggest that anyone who lives near one of our instructors take our Hypnobabies Hypnobirthing group class with a certified Hypnobabies Instructor (HCHI) since our classes are comprehensive and detailed! ***Please note:our Hypnobabies Instructors can only teach students inside their own geographical area!

What is the difference between Hypnobabies and the typical “hypno-birthing” class?
There are many differences, and we invite you to visit our unique Class Benefits page on the Hypnobabies website for information on this very important question.
-
When should I start Hypnobabies Classes?
Anytime! Some people take classes early in their pregnancy, and practicing Hypnobabies helps them to be relaxed, comfortable, and confident for the rest of their pregnancies. Others start later, at 6 or 7 months, when they know they can devote daily time to practicing.

Can my Birth Partner come to Hypnobabies Class with me?
Yes! We teach the Birth Partner right along with our Hypno-Moms. They learn what hypnosis is, (they experience it in class and get their own Birth Partner’s hypnosis audio track, to keep them calm and relaxed about pregnancy and childbirth!), and how to support their partners during pregnancy, the birthing itself, and even after the baby comes. They participate fully in each class, and with each hypnosis script during practices 3 times each week at home.

Will I be able to move around, and be awake and aware of my body and my baby during my labor, if I use hypnosis?
Absolutely! Being in Hypnobabies' unique “Eyes-Open Childbirth Hypnosis” is not like being asleep or detached from the sensations of your baby’s birth. You are awake and aware of everything around you, and you experience the baby’s every movement. You remain deeply in hypnosis, confident and calm, even while moving and changing positions. Your Hypnobabies hypno-anesthesia allows you to experience all the power of childbirth without the discomfort.
