Fear and Childbirth Workshop

Join Dr. Ryan and certified HypnoBirthing Educator, Krista Jawin for an open and educational workshop. Dr. Ryan and Krista will discuss the natural fears that to-be mothers experience in childbirth and the natural ways to overcome your fears through education and understanding.
Most women fear childbirth as a painful and terrible ordeal that one must “get” through to have a baby. We have all heard the stories about women who failed to progress and needed to be “rescued” to keep labor going. We will discuss the following:

• How sympathetic/parasympathetic balance affects childbirth.
• How Hormones like relaxin affect the body pre and postnatal.
• What are your options if the baby is breech?
• What causes the failure to progress and how can we prevent it.
• How we can change the misconception surrounding childbirth.
• What tools we can learn to reduce the catecholamine hormone and increase our natural endorphins.
