 White Plains, NY - On Thursday, September 18, 2008, certified HypnoBirthing® practitioner Cynthia Overgard will speak at Full Circle Family Care to discuss how women can prepare their minds and bodies to experience a safer, quicker, easier childbirth.
The event is at 7:00 p.m. Location is 1241 Mamaroneck Ave. White Plains. All are welcome and attendance is free.
Cynthia Overgard will describe how women learn self-hypnosis techniques to eliminate the fear that causes pain during childbirth. Women around the world who have discovered HypnoBirthing® are experiencing safer, faster births – including fewer breech babies, less than half as many C-sections, and fewer medical complications. Annual statistics show that most first-time births last between 12-14 hours, while the average HypnoBirthing® birth lasts 3 to 5 hours. Research also shows that moms practicing HypnoBirthing® experienced a reduced need for drugs and medical intervention by 75%. How do they do it? The answer is simple. When a birthing woman experiences tension or fear in any way, her body turns on the fight or flight mechanism and adrenaline is released into her body. This causes her birthing body to slow down as blood is redirected away from the uterus and toward the extremities. As a result, the birthing body counter-reacts by bringing on more intense contractions. This phenomenon explains why the very premise of HypnoBirthing® is that fear causes the pain that often accompanies childbirth. In HypnoBirthing®, women learn the physical and mental techniques to remain calm, relaxed and deeply trusting of the birthing process.The result is safer, easier birthing, empowered and informed moms, and calm, non-traumatized babies.
Statistics show about 100% of HypnoBirthing® moms reported to feeling "very satisfied" with their HypnoBirthing® birth experience. Said one mom, “I would absolutely recommend this birth method to anyone who wants to experience a relaxed or drug-free birth. It’s amazing.”
Cynthia Overgard discovered HypnoBirthing® when she was 7 months pregnant. Despite her baby's large size of 8 lbs. 14 oz., Cynthia birthed her son gently and easily in just 3-1/2 hours. Her son was born without drugs or medical intervention of any kind. Cynthia has worked with more than 70 couples in the past year, and is certified by the HypnoBirthing® Institute.
