Hypnofertility-Hypnotherapy

Hypnofertility:                                                        image

This private course is designed to complement both natural fertility and medical fertility treatment including IVF, ICSI and IVM. It is well understood that high levels of stress can impact egg release and uterine susceptibility; hypnosis addresses this issue by reducing stress hormones that can impede fertility. During the course, prospective parents learn how subconscious influences can lead to real chemical changes in the brain that can manifest in suitable conditions for conception. We also explore physical and psychological factors that can block conception. Click here for more information and faqs. More details about the what's included on the course and prices can be found here. Callie, our HypnoFertility™ therapist, trained directly with course founder, US hypnotherapist Lynsi Eastburn, author of "It's Conceivable" and director of the HypnoFertility Foundation.

Double your success rate with hypnosis for fertility. In May 2006, a case-control study showed that the use of hypnosis dramatically increased the success rates of IVF. The conclusion stated that "This study suggests that the use of hypnosis during ET may significantly improve the IVF/ET cycle outcome in terms of increased implantation and clinical pregnancy rates. Furthermore, it seems that the patients' attitude to the treatment was more favorable." Recent studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Women's Association and the journal Fertility and Sterility indicate those using hypnosis have a 42-55% conception rate compared to 20% with IVF alone.

Morning sickness

Morning sickness can strike at any time of day and can take the edge off the excitement of pregnancy. Not much is known about what causes it, but some experts suggest that it could be down to the effects of the stress hormone, Cortisol, and the way it reacts with the pregnancy hormone hCG. Other theories suggest that nutrition plays a part and that increasing levels of protein and carboydrate can help.

Hypnotherapy is known to be effective against nausea, and so BirthSense offers hypnotherapy to tackle morning sickness from all angles, helping to ease the feelings of nausea, reduce stress hormones and help you make better nutritional choices.

SPD / PGP

During pregnancy, your body releases a hormone called relaxin which softens the ligaments in your pelvic area. Normally this is good news, as it makes for an easier passage when it comes to birthing your baby. However in some cases this can cause SPD or PGP, which can be a result of your body releasing too much relaxin too soon, or by the pelvis moving unevenly, leading to pain and inflammation. The hypnotherapy given aims to help you regulate this hormone, and to teach you pain relief techniques to help ease the discomfort.

Breech presentation

Hypnotherapy is a safe and totally comfortable method to turn breech babies, and has a fantastic success rate of 81% (compared to 54% for the manual turn given in hospitals). It works by focussing deep relaxation on the lower uterine muscles, which helps the baby to make the natural turn providing there is no medical reason for the breech presentation.

In 1994, a trial by Mehl, V et al entitled "Hypnosis and the conversion of the breech to the vertex presentation" stated:

"RESULTS: 81% of the foetuses in the intervention group converted to vertex presentation compared with 48% of those in the comparison group. This difference was statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Motivated subjects can be influenced by a skilled hypnotherapist in such a manner that their foetuses have a higher incidence of conversion from breech to vertex presentation. Psychophysiological factors my influence the breech presentation and may explain this increased frequency of conversion to vertex presentation"
