Kylie,
>TG- wat is hypnobirthing classes?
>i wan to go but isit ex n i am only 7 weeks
1. Congras on your pregnancy.
2. Don't go into hypnobirthing classes just because it sounds exotic or peer pressure or marketing from the web, do some research first.
3. You are only 7 weeks, therefore I suggest that you do the research first and then decide whether to go for Hypnobirthing classes AFTER your 12 weeks.
4. Other than the web articles that covers Hypnobirthing, try to borrow this classic Hypnobirthing book from the National Library
http://vistaweb.nlb.gov.sg/cgi-bin/cw_cgi?fullRecord+15646+3002+12557591+1+0
5. Moreover, I found the birthstories by various SG moms here to be very encouraging
http://www.fourtrimesters.com/birthstories.htm
We can always write directly to those names mentioned there, ie. transparent.
6. Cost of Hypnobirthing classes seems to ranged between $400 to $500 in Singapore for about 4-5 classes.
Steph,
>But HypnoBirthing Classes are quite ex,
>abt $450++.
Considering that it's a seemly credible technique (being in US for several decades already), $450 school fees is rather reasonable.
Moreover, $450 more than cover the cost of an epidural, potential side effects, effects to the newborn.
Having attended a 3 hr free intro session by Di recently, and having asked her tons of questions, am convinced that Hypnobirthing knowledge is also applicable beyond child birth, get the Hypnobirthing book from the library to understand more.
PS: The gist of Hypnobirthing is in the middle of the book, the early chapters covers more on why... have not finish the later chapters yet.
Enjoy your delivery process ahead. Personally, I think for moms who are terrified of pain, Hypnobirthing is one technique, among many others which your hubby should pay school fees for.
