What’s in it for me? Unlock the secrets of a joyful birth.

Welcoming her baby into the world should be a profound moment of joy and celebration in a mother’s life. But all too often, her baby’s arrival is marked by fear, pain, and even long-lasting trauma. Many women have a negative experience of childbirth and are left with permanent physical damage to their bodies to prove it. But what if there were a better way to experience labor – a gentler way that didn’t involve so much suffering?

Luckily, there is. In these blinks, you’ll learn how most women can give birth without drugs, medical intervention, or violent pushing. You’ll discover a simple yet profound truth: your body already knows how to have a baby, and your baby is perfectly capable of guiding itself out of your body without outside interference. You’ll uncover the simple exercises and techniques that can put your body and your baby back in control in the delivery room. Many women have been taught to accept pain as a rite of passage into motherhood. But when you’re equipped with knowledge of your body and the right strategies, you’ll realize that having a healthy, happy baby doesn’t need to be harrowing.

In these blinks, you’ll learn

how to harness the power of your mind for a better birth;
what fear does to your uterus; and
why you don’t need to push your baby out.

Childbirth should be a cause for joy, not trauma.

The author, Marie Mongan, was five years old when she overheard a conversation she would never forget. Marie’s mother and her friends were talking about childbirth, but they didn’t realize that Marie was listening. One woman described a long and painful labor, in which the doctors had used forceps to pull her baby out. These forceps had badly damaged her pelvis, and she had been told afterward that she might not be able to have another child. Sadly, the woman Marie overheard that day was her own mother, and Marie was the baby she was talking about.

Learning about her mother’s traumatic experience gave Marie the determination to change the status quo. As she grew up, she set out to prove to the world that there was a better way of giving birth – a natural, more gentle way.

The key message here is: Childbirth should be a cause for joy, not trauma.

Finally, after years of research, Marie Mongan developed HypnoBirthing, a new philosophy and approach to childbirth.

The cornerstone of this approach is that the mother’s body, and the unborn baby she carries, already know how to give birth. If the woman is healthy and the pregnancy is without complications, then it’s not necessary for medical staff to interfere with her labor. The human reproductive system is perfect and should be respected and left alone as much as possible. The expectant mother doesn’t need to be told to push, and she doesn’t need drugs or help from medical instruments to bring her baby into the world.

The HypnoBirthing philosophy believes that childbirth is a natural human experience, with its own flow and its own rhythm. Each unnecessary medical procedure and interruption risks undermining this natural process and setting it off-kilter. To avoid this, it’s crucial that each birth happens according to the mother and baby’s own pace. The birthing process might slow down, or it might speed up, but this is normal and natural. If there are no complications, then those outside the birth shouldn’t try to manage its time frame.

Finally, the HypnoBirthing approach regards the female body as sacrosanct. Nobody has the right to interfere with your body – especially when you’re going through childbirth.

Fear makes childbirth more painful – and more dangerous.

It’s a sad reality that many women are scared of giving birth. The author remembers talking to a young pregnant woman who was excited and prepared for her baby’s arrival. But when the conversation turned to the actual birth, the woman recoiled in horror. “Oh, I don’t want to talk about that,” she said, “I’m terrified!”

This woman’s attitude might sound familiar, and even normal, but the truth is that it’s counterproductive. Why? Because women’s fears about labor often become a self-fulfilling prophecy. In fact, the more scared you are of giving birth, the more likely you are to have a painful, traumatic experience, and the higher the chance that your baby will be put at risk during the process.

Your mind has the power to give you a better birth.

What do you think about when someone mentions hypnosis? Most people’s only experience of hypnosis comes from entertaining stage shows, in which a volunteer is hypnotized into doing something ridiculous. But in reality, hypnosis has nothing to do with somebody else controlling you or making you do something against your will. In fact, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. It’s about suggesting thoughts and ideas to yourself, which then influence how your body responds.

In the context of childbirth, self-hypnosis means flipping the script on all your preconceptions about labor. It’s about letting go of any thoughts of fear, pain, or disaster, and embracing positive ideas, thoughts, and images instead.

Make time during your pregnancy to practice relaxation.

Relaxation is a powerful tool. Watch athletes in the minutes before they start competing, and you might be surprised. Instead of looking excited or tense, athletes often appear utterly serene. Professional sportspeople know something that most of us don’t – that your body performs best when your mind is free from tension.

If you want your body to perform optimally during labor, you’ll need to teach your mind to relax during the process. Learning to relax isn’t difficult, but it will take some work. In the months leading up to the birth, you’ll need to undertake relaxation exercises that will help you enter a calm state of mind quickly. Later, when you’re birthing your baby, you’ll be able to call upon this relaxation training and dispel any fear or tension.

Your unborn baby needs a nudge, not a push.

When you think of someone giving birth, one word probably comes to mind: “Push!” For women around the world, it's accepted – and expected – that labor will require pushing. But is this true? The author believed that telling mothers to push was unnecessary, and potentially dangerous.

So why are most midwives and doctors so focused on pushing? The answer lies in the murky history of birthing practices. Incredibly, for hundreds of years, doctors routinely and completely anesthetized women while they were giving birth and pulled their babies out with forceps. When this disturbing practice stopped in the twentieth century, many doctors still doubted that babies could leave the uterus and descend into the birth canal without any help.

Deep relaxation supports you during the most challenging moments of labor.

HypnoBirthing gives you the opportunity to have a more joyful, less stressful labor. That being said, some parts of your birth experience will feel harder than others. When you’re in the later stages of your labor and your baby is descending through the birth canal, you’ll need your mind and your body to enter a deep state of relaxation to support you through the intense sensations.

You can achieve deep relaxation by practicing ultra-deepening techniques. These are HypnoBirthing exercises that will help you achieve an almost amnesiac state, in which you lose sense of where you are, your surroundings, and even time.

It’s normal to experience strange sensations and feelings during labor.

When your baby decides that it’s ready to be born, it will be time to put all your breathing and relaxation techniques into practice. As we’ve learned, there is no need to fear what comes next. There are, however, a few final things you should know before the big day arrives.

First, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with some of the hallmarks of labor, so that you don’t feel shocked or surprised when certain sensations arise during the process. Try to think of these hallmarks as exciting, and get your birth companion to point them out to you as they occur.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ines S.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Ekaterina S.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
