Does Hypnobirthing guarantee a pain free labour and birth?

 In

Some mums who have studied Hypnobirthing during pregnancy say that they didn’t feel pain during labour and birth, simply power or pressure, therefore they didn’t require any pain relief.
However Hypnobirthing cannot guarantee the absence of pain during labour and birth as many factors affect this. Research and anecdotal evidence suggests that Hypnobirthing can sometimes result in a pain free birth. A study conducted in the USA found that over 70{64448e0dc17f4a1d6c6625b0d46ceb7e37df68e0d0f53650f5ba61c682292748} of Hypnobirthing women didn’t use any pain relief during labour and birth and a further 20{64448e0dc17f4a1d6c6625b0d46ceb7e37df68e0d0f53650f5ba61c682292748} used something mild like gas and air. This shows the power of Hypnobirthing women.
Please remember that the aim of Hypnobirthing is to allow you to birth easier and more comfortably, so although a pain free birth is possible this is not the ultimate aim.
