does hypnobirthing work for c-sections?

So - you’re booked in for a planned c-section, or you’re thinking about your options if your birth ends in an unplanned c-section. Well, I won’t stop banging on about this to all my students - but yes hypnobirthing is for all types of birth and absolutely, it “works” for c-sections.

So how do you use hypnobirthing for c-sections?

You can use your decision making tools to ensure you are confident in making decisions that are right for you and your baby.

You can use environmental cues (like low lighting, scent and music) during the c-section to boost your oxytocin levels which helps with bonding and breastfeeding, and lower any feelings of anxiety.

You can use your breathing techniques when you are waiting to go into theatre, or when you are having your spinal block placed.

You can use your relaxation tracks in the run up to your c-section so you feel prepared and calm going in to meet your baby.
