Obstetricians employ pain control during childbirth

When you are in the hospital and you are there for childbirth it is interesting that yet a large portion of women do not want pain control. The women who do want something against the pain is the epidural available. They are also working in hospitals to use nitrous oxide against the pain. That way the obstetricians can also do it and there is no need for an anesthesiologist. But yes it is still a chemical and that can really be done differently

Pain management in childbirth

As of July 1, 2013, the powers of midwives - described in the AMvB (general administrative order) - are expected to be expanded to include prescribing sterile water injections, administering nitrous oxideand prescribing and placing contraception. These are even more options for women to choose from as pain control.

Now for many women, childbirth is hell and not something that is looked forward to. I myself have been able to experience it up close 3 times and my wife did a really great job. She went into a kind of trance (I didn't do professional hypnosis with the first one then), but I could see that something was happening. That was very beautiful to see and she endured the delivery just fine.

In fact, she wanted another one, and not many women say that right after giving birth. What I didn't realize then was that she went into a state of hypnosis and was able to shut herself off from the environment in such a way that she felt the pain less. Now I know with the knowledge I have that it can even be painless.

The options they now offer in the hospital are:

• The Spinal Tap
• Nitrous oxide

Both options are obviously a lot better for the woman than pain , but is it also better for the child? For example, children in Russia are all delivered by C-section, and there are a lot of addicts in that country. Is there a connection? Research states that there is, and if I look at myself, it is true. I too was delivered by C-section (under general anesthesia) and became an addict.

Whether that research is accurate I don't know, but you can imagine that it's not quite ok for an unborn child to be exposed to an anesthetic.

Hypnotherapy in childbirth

What works very well is hypnotherapy. Especially when you enter a course where the hypnotherapist gets busy teaching the woman self-hypnosis. In addition, it would also be good for the midwife to learn it herself is my opinion. This year I started training dentists and the results are very good.

The hypnosis method is very different from how things are done "normally. It is much more effective because you already have someone in deep hypnosis in 5 minutes. This is also how you can give birth, because can you imagine giving birth with a smile? Most women of course don't, but you can numb yourself much better than any painkiller.

Besides, it's also a lot better for your child :-)
