As I said, giving birth doesn't hurt. At least it shouldn't. But very
often, it does.
Why?
Birth is not a medical incident. An otherwise healthy woman is not
ill, she is only afraid.
Very afraid because of different stories she heard about the act of
delivery as a child (Biopsychosocial Model -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biopsychosocial
). Mental fears are translated into physical tensions that produce
needless pain. When the fear is not present, the pain is not present.
Fear causes the arteries leading to the uterus to constrict and become
tense, creating pain. In the absence of fear, the body releases a
natural relaxant and pain killer, endorphin (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endorphins
). Muscles relax and become flexible, and the cervix is able to
naturally thin and open as the body pulsates rhythmically and expels
the baby with ease. In some of the less sophisticated societies, where
people have not been influenced by the beliefs of western
civilization, women with bodies that are physiologically identical to
those of western women give birth with a minimum of discomfort.
With a relatively simple hypnotic procedure, without any danger, and
not using any medication or intrusive actions (no epidurals, and
drastically smaller numbers of episiotomies) it is now possible to
almost completely eliminate sufferings of both you and your baby
during the delivery. You can even be fully awake, and aware of every
single moment during the process. Mothers' recovery is shortened to
one day, and the delivery itself comes extremely quickly counting from
the first contraction (not labor - there is no such thing!).
It is a known fact that children that are born without stress and
trauma develop higher IQs later in life, they are better students and
have better success in life.
Anyone interested to know more?
