True, while such a service is available only to residents of the capital, however, as the head physician of the Moscow perinatal medical center "Mother and Child" T. Normantovich says, the beginning is a great trouble. The main thing is that this method justifies itself and takes root in other maternity hospitals.
The gynecologists of this capital center have so far refrained from any categorical statements. In their opinion, it is too early to give any professional assessment to this technology of delivery. But the first births showed that they are easier than usual. In this case, a woman feels more confident and calmer even before hypnosis (obviously completely trusting him), and during the process itself, no complications have arisen yet.
Childbirth under hypnosis suggests that a woman in labor, with the help of a specialist in hypnosis (hypnotherapist), introduces herself into a state of hypnotic trance - for this, certain words are selected that the woman utters and "flies away." In a trance state, she is fully aware of herself, hears doctors and can answer their questions. At the same time, a woman is in a state of complete relaxation of the muscles of the body, which allows her to give birth easily, quickly and without the slightest injury to her child.
The head physician Normantovich says that there are still too few hypnotherapists, so even their metropolitan perinatal center has to train its specialists by sending them to courses. However, if the method pays off, then, I think, it will quickly spread throughout the country. It's still not childbirth at sea, which was popular at one time, but did not justify itself either in terms of labor costs, or even in terms of results. For childbirth under hypnosis, you only need a good specialist and a woman's desire, and the desire of a woman in labor, Tatyana emphasizes, is the law for us.
One would like to recall on this occasion the humoresque performed by Igor Mamenko about a woman in labor in a ski hat and with skates on her feet. The most important thing, as the unsurpassed narrator of anecdotes emphasized, is for a woman to believe that a winter hat and even skates will help her give birth to an easy and, most importantly, healthy child!
