HypnoBirthing: Motives, Expectations, and Experiences of Women in India

Author : Nandini Modi 1

Date of Publication :20th November 2020

Abstract: The thesis is designed to gain insight into the motives, expectations, and experiences of women in India who were opting for the method of HypnoBirthing during their childbirth. Hypnosis is not all about magic or trying to find the depth about our past life. HypnoBirthing is the part of an emerging field where hypnosis is used for pain management. In terms of HypnoBirthing, hypnosis is used to reduce the perception of pain and fear during the process of childbirth. The two most common methods used during childbirth are Cesarean or a C-section and Natural/Vaginal birth. The study tried to uncover the motivations which lead today’s expecting mothers of India to choose HypnoBirthing over other methods of birthing, despite mainstream ones, or other alternatives like acupuncture, aromatherapy, or massage. In order to answer this question, interviews with four expecting women, who were attending the HypnoBirthing classes, were conducted. The expectations that they had from this method were revealed through the first interview. In a second phase - post their delivery, two of the women were interviewed to collect their experience, which was further analyzed in regard to their expectations. Through the research conducted, it was concluded that women predominantly chose HypnoBirthing to get away from the fear of labor and reduce the perception of pain. Even though HypnoBirthing is gaining popularity today, many women are still unaware of the existence of this method in India. The results of this thesis may provide guidance and feedback on the benefits of HypnoBirthing and help make this method better known in India.
