Hypnosis Can Help Reduce Negative Symptoms Related to Pregnancy

Did you know that hypnosis has been shown to reduce physical and psychological symptoms related to pregnancy? Are you someone who is pregnant and experiencing nausea, vomiting, stress or anxiety? If so, hypnosis with a licensed practitioner may be able to help you reduce or eliminate some of these symptoms during pregnancy.

My personal experiences with pregnancy and hypnosis led me to become an advanced hypnosis practitioner and research the impact that hypnosis can have on negative pregnancy symptoms. In fact, I wrote my dissertation on it! My dissertation titled, “The Lived Experience of Hypnosis-Assisted Birth: A Hermeneutic Phenomenological Study” explores the lived experienced of women who choose to utilize hypnosis during pregnancy, labor and delivery. I personally suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum during my second pregnancy. After trying multiple medications that did not help, I was able to reduce the symptoms of hyperemesis gravidarum with hypnosis.

I personally utilized hypnosis during both of my pregnancies and found it to be incredibly helpful in reducing symptoms related to pregnancy. Many of my clients who have experienced pregnancy-related nausea, vomiting, and anxiety have also benefitted from hypnosis.

Beevi, Low & Hassan (2016) investigated the impact that hypnosis intervention had in reducing physical symptoms such as vomiting and psychological symptoms such as stress and anxiety in pregnant women. The experimental group participated in hypnosis intervention at 16, 20, 28, and 36 weeks gestation while the participants in the control group received routine antenatal care from 16 weeks gestation to 36 weeks gestation. The results of the study indicated that that hypnosis intervention aided in the reduction of psychological and physical symptoms associated with pregnancy.
