Does hypnosis mean that I wont be in control during my labour and birth?

No, this is a common misconception of hypnosis. Hypnosis is a feeling of deep relaxation. You are aware of what is going on around you but you are able to ignore any distractions. Hypnosis is similar to when you’re engrossed in a TV show or a book. You are deeply focused but you can easily tune back in to other things going on whenever you want or need to.
