What is hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is described as a complete antenatal education which teaches the expectant mother breathing techniques and self hypnosis for a natural birth, free of pain relief.
The method teaches women how to relax their bodies to reduce pain and avoid releasing adrenaline caused by stress, which can prolong labour.
The method has many celebrity fans including Angelina Jolie, and reportedly Kate Middleton.
