Hypnobirthing teaches women to induce a state of mind "self-hypnosis" where a woman focuses inward, deeply concentrated, and this allows her to reduce peripheral awareness. But it can still respond to suggestions and affirmations.
When a woman is afraid, she becomes physically tense, rigid, and produces adrenaline and stress hormones cortisol. Her perception of pain increases and this can affect the work.
HypnoBirthing techniques are based on British obstetrician observations Grantly Dick-Read. In his book 1942, Childbirth without fear, he suggested women in a calm state of mind, and who had faith in their ability to give birth, have done with less pain.
