Ten Reasons to Choose GentleBirth Over HypnoBirthing
1. Proven: GentleBirth is a proven, safe, effective program to reduce anxiety during pregnancy and pain during labour within an Irish hospital (or home) setting. It is recommended by midwives and consultants. 98% of mums will use GentleBirth in their next pregnancy, 85% had no epidural.
2. Expertise: GentleBirth was founded by Irish author and birth expert Tracy Donegan and is based on Irish maternity practices. Tracy is the Irish Daily Mail maternity expert and has been training professional birth partners in Ireland and abroad since 2006. Over 2000 couples have attended a GentleBirth workshop with Tracy.
3. Medical Professionals: GPs, midwives, nurses and other medical professionals attend and recommend GentleBirth workshops for evidence based medical information.
4. Science: The GentleBirth program is backed by science. Hypnosis has been shown to significantly shorten labour and reduce requests for pain relief. GentleBirth Dads are taught the same techniques used to train professional birth partners (doula).
5. Comprehensive Materials: Everything you need for pregnancy, birth and beyond is included in our 3 practice CDs + 5 bonus CDs and Guidebook.
6. Choice: You choose the format that suits you - a hands on workshop or homestudy course with ongoing support.
7. Meetups: Come along to one of our regularly scheduled coffee mornings to meet our instructors and other GentleBirth Mums and babies.
8. Epidurals: Most GentleBirth Mums cope well without pain relief but if you choose to have an epidural you and your partner will understand how to optimise the use of your epidural to reduce side effects for you and your baby.
9. Reimbursement: Most health insurance providers cover antenatal classes provided by Midwives.
10. Community: Join our private Facebook page to connect with other GentleBirth mums and our resident positive birth experts and come along to our regularly scheduled meet ups.
