Easibirthing and Your Baby in York
Studies and research show that an expectant mother suffering with stress has raised levels of Cortisol (the stress hormone) in her body. This can have an adverse effect on the unborn baby as well as on the mother herself. The effects on the baby during pregnancy means they have a greater vulnerability to psychological problems, even 10 years later (study carried out by O’Connor 2005 University of Bristol). The study shows that fetal exposure to prenatal maternal stress affects a key part of their babies’ developing nervous system.

Studies have shown that mothers who use hypnosis for anxiety and stress management are able to reduce their labour time. 70% of hypnosis births are free of medication. If the mum is relaxed, then the baby’s birth is going to be easier, the effects on the baby are numerous. When your baby is born you are relaxed and alert ready to greet him or her. Your newborn baby will be calm and serene and will not suffering from any birth trauma. Your baby will be alert and ready to meet mum and dad and bond with them. This will have a positive effect on your baby for the rest of its life and will affect its future relationships.
