Hypnobirthing – An alternative to the delivery of your baby at Antai Hospital
The delivery process is assumed as one of the most painful experiences in women’s life. Nevertheless, the childbirth process could be an ecstatic and memorable lifetime event for women and their families. Most women have a fear of labor, and they opt for pharmacological pain relief. Women develop a fear of childbirth due to the way media represents the childbirth process, and from the scary labor stories, they hear from friends and relatives. This fear has been instilled in women from a young age. Furthermore, with the increase of elective C-sections and the number of C-sections in the world, more women are fearful and avoiding pregnancies. As we all understand, it is not so much that the child-birthing process is painful, but it is more of the fear of the delivery that Is causing and enhancing the pain, and it leads to the accumulation of stress, making it a dreadful experience if there are no pain reliefs administered.
The word Hypno is a Greek word, which means sleep and birthing is the process of childbirth. Hence, it is birth during sleep. Pain is less felt during sleep. Therefore, women using Hypnobirthing most likely will be relaxed and comfortable. So, this method can benefit both the mother and the newborn. In a hypnosis study, it was highlighted that when a birthing mother is in a relaxed state, they will either have less or no fear. It leads them to have less pain and be more in control of themselves and the decisions they make. Besides this, the birthing women’s first and second stages of labor will be shorter, and there are higher incidences of less usage of analgesics, induction, and interventions during the birthing process
Besides, only a small number of hospitals and doctors are practicing this method or allowing this practice in the hospital setting, like Antai Hospital. This method is a new way to ensure women are comfortable during pregnancy and the birthing process with fewer side effects and complications. However, there is a lack of awareness of this among the public and pregnant women.
Hypnobirthing in Antai Hospital
Dr. Chen Fenglin was one of the earliest OBGYN physicians to introduce hypnobirthing in China and thus Antai Hospital has been providing this service ever since. Antai Hospital offers Hypnobirthing combined with water birthing as a unique and memorable ceremonial birthing experience. Celebratory childbirth refers to the ceremony being as grand as the wedding ceremony, with medical staff to accompany during the delivery, the host accompanying the expecting mother, with the presence of select friends and family. This event is both memorable and sacred to the couple welcoming their newborn. With the hypnosis and delivery happening in the water, the process is close to being painless and relaxing for mothers.
At Antai Hospital, with the use of hypnotic delivery, the child is delivered in pitch darkness, the only light in the delivery room is coming from dimly lit candles, with the presence of friends and family nearby. The room will be playing a smooth, relaxing chorus of a song of choice that is designed to ease the delivering mother. The husband will also have the opportunity to personally cut the umbilical cord once the child is delivered, truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Outside the delivery room: there will be a performing band standing on both sides, with the red carpet in the middle, for the celebration hall, with our nurses wearing traditional costumes holding the baby that was just delivered in water, walking out of the delivery room with the sound of festive music, and handing the baby to the father, grandpa, and grandma, respectively. The entire event is a celebration of life, a celebration for the new child.
