Information for the birth companion
In HypnoBirthing®, the support person is called the 'birth companion'. Traditionally this is the father of the baby and the mother's husband/partner, but it can be anyone the mother chooses - her mother, sister, a very good friend, etc.
In HypnoBirthing® the birth companion's role is very important. You are needed to keep the mother 'on track' with her breathing and relaxation. You are also needed to keep the environment as relaxed and as calm as possible.
You will learn many techniques to help keep Mum focused and grounded. You will also learn what sort of questions you can ask when medical intervention is suggested so you can stay fully informed.

Ultimately you are the advocate, spokesperson, and guide for the birth of this child
Here is a video by Marie Mongan explaining what instinctual birth is. HypnoBirthing® cannot teach you HOW to give birth but rather reminds you how to trust your body and your baby to give birth safely and calmly
Definition of HypnoBirthing® - the Mongan Method from the official Australian website
(https://au.hypnobirthing.com/about-hypnobirthing/)
"HypnoBirthing® (is a) rewarding, relaxing, stress-free method of birthing that is based on the belief that when a mother is properly prepared for birthing physically, mentally, and spiritually, she can experience the joy of birthing her baby in an easier, more comfortable way"
Even if you do not fear birth this program can help reinforce your positive beliefs and teach you breathing and relaxation techniques to help you during labour and birth.
HypnoBirthing® does not promise you a completely pain free labour and birth, although some people do experience this, and many describe it as 'comfortable'.

Data provided by HypnoBirthing® Institute, between 2005-2010
HypnoBirthing®-Mongan Method prepares, educates and teaches you to relax, let go and allow your body to birth your baby in a gentle, safe and joyful manner. You are aware and fully in control during your labour and birth, but profoundly relaxed.
What’s happens if special circumstances arise during my birth?
HypnoBirthing® can still be of help to you because it educates you and prepares you to ask questions. Furthermore it teaches you techniques to remain calm and confident. Hence you can make informed choices and still have a positive experience.
When choosing a HypnoBirthing® Educator always look for the gold seal. It means they have trained and are certified with the HypnoBirthing® International Insitute. The Institute was founded by Marie Mongan in 1989 - the creator of the HypnoBirthing® program. HypnoBirthing® International has had Educators in Australia since 2000.
