Summary

Barbara Decker, a Hypnobirthing practitioner and trainer,

discusses the importance of Hypnobirthing and Prenatal Bonding (BA) in childbirth. Hypnobirthing is a class expectant parents can take that both helps them face birth with knowledge and tools and helps them learn to trust the body and mind in the birthing process. It invites birthing parents to overcome fear and teaches relaxation
techniques to create a calm and safe birthing experience. Prenatal Bonding (BA) focuses on building a strong bond with the baby in the womb through visualization, touch, and positive affirmations. Used together, Hypnobirthing
and Prenatal Bonding (BA) can reduce anxiety, lower rates of birth trauma, and improve bonding experiences between parents and their babies.
