Supermodel Gisele Bundchen uses hypnosis for pain free labor
Brazilian super model Gisele Bundchen and her striking looks and figure already make her one of the worlds most envied women. Well now there is a reason to get even more green eyed, because it would seem she had a totally pain free labour.
She chose to deliver her son Benjamin in a water birth and explained that during her 8 hour labour she experienced no pain and was even feeling well enough to do the dishes the next day.
Bundchen is just one of a growing number of women who now opt for a more natural way of bringing their child into the world. During her pregnancy she undertook yoga, mediation, hypnosis and finally water birth all in a bid to avoid taking medication and an epidural during labor.
Hypnosis doesn’t just have to be used in the instance of water birth, it can be used however or wherever you choose. It works on many aspects of the pregnancy from the anxiety you might feel in the early stages right through to pain relief in whilst in labor. The benefits are countless, mother and baby will experience no side effects and recovery time will be far quicker even for those who have caesarean sections.
Most notably however, is the fact that babies who have fewer drugs are better sleepers, surely a few hours shut eye for new mums is as good a reason as any!
