Giving birth without using painkillers & just hypnosis?

My little sister had her baby without any painkillers, hypnosis, or anything. She did it all natural. She is 5 foot 2 inches tall and weighs 94 pounds, the baby weighed 7 pounds 10 ounces. She is quite a girl for doing it.

I had my son without epidureal it was way to painful. I didn't consider pain killer because I'll fall asleep and won't be able to push my child out which will end me up in C-section. Hypnosis I don't know about that just imagine yourself under hypnosis having a child, Remember there are remote places especially those who live in tribes just think of how they deliver their child no IV fluid, no painkiller no nothing except bare hands of their so called traditional midwife. I also remeber Lamash and water delivery I think with this one they soak the mother in warm water were she can push and labor her child's out.

Giving birth without pain killers...uh that is a common enough thing, many women do that..and they do not use hypnosis..that is an odd thing

I gave birth at home three times without pain killers and without hypnosis. My children are 30, 25, and 20 years of age.

I have given birth four times...all natural with no pain killers (the med's do affect the baby to varrying degrees). Personally I do hve faith in hypnosis as a valid tool for such occassions (my husband and I are both Certified Hypnotherapists)

i dont plan on doing that

I had my first child without painkillers or anything. I have to say it was the most horrible experience of my life. For my youngest two, I had pain killers and I definetly enjoyed the experience a lot more. I would recommend pain killers to any one who asked me.

in all honestly? i highly doubt i could. i have a pretty high pain tolerance and the thought of the physical pain of having a child makes me squirm. interesting read, though. thanks!

UM I'VE seen it on baby delivery shows, and the girls still look like they are in pain, some can't even concentrate on the hypnosis, so no i wouldn't do it! i've had 3 kids all with epiderals and with the 3rd i could still feel the pain, but the other 2 were good.
