“…They further explained that their breathing and pushing technique taught in HypnoBirthing contributed to this together with the perineal massage they practised. This is parallel to experimental study done in Australia (19) and Malaysia (5) showed that the perineal outcome of the participants using these similar methods was better than the control group that used the standard pushing techniques used in hospitals Furthermore, most of the participants expressed that they did not feel that much of pain during the crowning due to the perineal massage that was started after 36 weeks.

“…Thus, the women utilising HypnoBirthing only felt slight discomfort and had an enjoyable and beautiful moment even when they were 10 cm dilated. This was highlighted in an experimental pilot study conducted in Malaysia whereby the pain level of women using HypnoBirthing was lower than those using pharmacological therapy (5). A few other studies using alternative therapy too showed that the birthing pain experienced by birthing women were lower (11,12) and tolerable (13,6).…”

“…Pregnant women grappling with anxiety are also more susceptible to stress, depression, sleep disturbances, difficulty in maintaining calm, anxieties, and pervasive negative thoughts (10,11). Furthermore, the offspring of anxious mothers are at an increased risk of premature delivery, being underweight, necessitating cesarean sections, and encountering complications during delivery (12,13). In Pakistan, the prevalence of anxiety among pregnant women is notably high, with studies indicating that 49% of expectant mothers experience anxiety, and a substantial proportion, ranging between 29% and 66%, suffer from psychiatric disorders during pregnancy (14,15).…”

Background: Anxiety during pregnancy is a prevalent concern with significant implications for both maternal and fetal health. Traditional approaches to managing this anxiety vary in effectiveness, highlighting the need for alternative strategies. Hypnobirthing, a technique focusing on mind-body relaxation, has emerged as a promising intervention to reduce pregnancy-related anxiety. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of hypnobirthing in reducing anxiety levels among pregnant women. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 30 primigravida women with gestational ages between 32 and 38 weeks, recruited from a tertiary care hospital in Islamabad. Participants were divided equally into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received four weeks of hypnobirthing sessions, while the control group received standard prenatal care. Anxiety levels were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0, with paired samples t-tests comparing pre- and post-intervention anxiety levels. Results: The average age of participants was 22.17 years. Initially, 87% of participants reported high levels of anxiety. Post-intervention, the experimental group showed a significant reduction in anxiety levels, with 67% of participants reporting normal anxiety levels (p<0.000), while the control group showed no significant change in anxiety levels (p=0.314). The mean difference in anxiety levels between the pre- and post-intervention phases in the experimental group was significant at 6.867 (SD=4.470, p<0.000). Conclusion: Hypnobirthing significantly reduced anxiety levels among pregnant women, suggesting its efficacy as a therapeutic intervention for managing pregnancy-related anxiety. This technique offers a valuable addition to prenatal care, potentially improving maternal and fetal outcomes by alleviating anxiety during pregnancy.
