Almost all pregnant women are terrified of childbirth because of the horror stories they have heard about prolonged labour and the sheer agony of it all. Hypnobirthing, introduced for the first time in India, is a method that combines relaxation techniques, the right kind of breathing and visualisation. The method is already popular abroad and has been used by many a Hollywood celebrity, such as Jessica Alba.

The method is based on Grantly Dick-Reads manual Childbirth without Fear, which states that the fear factor in women is what actually aggravates the pain during childbirth. This fear causes the blood to flow away from the uterus to the muscles in the legs. The reduced blood flow causes the pain in the uterus. If women learn to relax during childbirth, then the contractions will be more effective, thereby leading to easier childbirth. It is not an alternative to medical procedure. It makes the duty of the doctor and the mother-to-be easier and eliminates the unnecessary use of drugs and perhaps even a Caesarian.
