Hypnobabies is of course primarily about preparing for an easier and more comfortable birth. But, hypnosis is general has innumerable uses and we asked local hypno-moms to share the other ways they were able to use their Hypnobabies tools besides for birth itself. Some of these are pretty amazing! Enjoy!
"I used in at the dentist when having cavity filed. Also good for me at chiropractor office as it is so much easier to be adjusted when relaxed."
"I had an endoscopy with no meds!"
"I use it all the time... before a blood draw, before a pelvic exam, when I am having monthly cramps, and pretty much anytime I'm hurting."
"I used it while having a gallbladder attack (I didn't know that's what it was) but the ER doctor was surprised I wasn't showing a lot of pain for having as many gallstones and as big of gallstones as there was. It was great! I love Hypnobabies!"

"I use my finger drop when trying to go back to sleep. I have heard people say they use it while pooping (sorry both of these are TMI ) and during sex."
"Definitely for sleep! Affirmations and music help in the car especially with traffic. I use the music with my baby too as a soother."
"For sleep and early nursing days before we had everything figured out"
"I used it a TON when I sprained my knee and spent hours doing painful physical therapy everyday for weeks. I also bought the sleep for all track back when I was struggling with some insomnia and still use that several times a week. HB for life!"
"Ugh I had to have a spinal tap a year after I had given birth. I used my Hypnobabies techniques as they were prepping everything but they kept trying to get me to communicate because I was so calm and quiet so I had to come out of it to explain to them what I was trying to do then made them wait to do the spinal tap until I could get back into the hypnosis."
"I used them while pregnant and watching the hunger games! My adrenaline spiked and my baby was going crazy in my tummy. He calmed down quickly once I put myself into hypnosis."
"This may sound weird... But I sort of use it when I am running or exerting myself to slow my breathing and center myself. I also have used it when feeling stressed out- I take a mommy time out and do my finger drop. For sleep too."
"I use the pregnancy affirmations and tweak the wording to match what I need help with, i.e. I have a voice. I deserve to use my voice, etc. I use my special safe place when I'm stressed. I can immediately go there and be at peace."
" I strained my lower back recently and every time I need to stand up and walk I felt excruciating pain...I would close my eyes and remind myself that it's not pain but rather extreme pressure. I take a deep breath and stand up. Helps me work thru my back exercises too. Hypnobabies will get me back (pun intended) to full speed! "
"Just used it when I got a tattoo."
