Statistics of hypnobirthing

[londonhypnobirthing]

After a recent study into the effect of hypnobirthing on labour and birth, I thought I'd share some interesting findings with you. This study used 144 first time mums that have been on the London Hypnobirthing 10 hour course between 2011-2013.

67% had their babies on or before their estimated due date (EDD), compared to the national average of 15%

20% had their babies ON their EDD, compared to the national average of less than 5%

73% of these mums went on to have unassisted vaginal births, compared to the national average of 45%

I am processing and analysing more of the data so will hopefully have some more statistics with you soon, but I thought this was interesting to share. There is so much to be said for being emotionally ready for your labour to begin, something that happens when your mind and body are in tune and working harmoniously. Hypnobirthing works.
