The Channel 10 Offspring Birth: not unlike a HypnoBirthing experience

The Offspring Birth was awesome - it was like she had prepared with HypnoBirthing tips and skills!

Whether or not you're an Offspring fan, you'd know that tv and movie births are generally unrealistic, right? They're usually full of panting and screaming, panic and chaos, and almost always involve extremely short, rushed labours. In many ways the most recent tv birth - on Ten's Offspring - was no different.

But perhaps tv births aren't as unreal as they seem? With HypnoBirthing it's entirely possible to have a fast labour, free of interventions - just like Nina experienced in Offspring.

Do you believe birth takes a long time? Or needs medical interventions? Sometimes both of these are true - but in MOST uncomplicated cases, babies can really be born with a few large body pushes and the woman breathing her energy downwards - just like you sometimes see on tv! 

So, what are some of the factors which may have contributed to the short, complication-free labour experienced by Nina on Offspring?

Firstly, we see on the show that Nina has done some relaxation techniques with a counselor.... Knowing relaxation techniques and practising them regularly during pregnancy is perfect preparation for birth.

Secondly, Nina believes in her ability to birth naturally. In an earlier episode Nina rejects an obstetrician who doesn't support her beliefs in this area... Trusting your body knows what to do is an important element of preparing for a positive birth. 

Thirdly - when Nina is birthing she is in the company of a loving, supportive and trusting person (her sister), in an environment where she feels safe and loved (the hospital where she works, among her dearest friends)... Having a safe, comfortable 'birthing space' is an important part of feeling relaxed during labour, and being able to enter the 'zone' where you can eliminate distraction and negativity.

I have had a few of my clients suddenly have their babies at their homes, cars and in corridors of hospitals... It doesn't just happen on tv.


My clients used "HypnoBirthing the Mongan Method" to achieve their relaxed and smooth births... What will you do to prepare for your next baby?
