Fertility and Hypnosis - when the line turns blue

What a great week, I have been working with a client for a month who came to see me after 3 years of trying for a baby and has now found out that she is pregnant! What an absolute joy it is to be able to help women experience such a wonderful moment - when the line turns blue.

Not many people are aware of the power of hypnosis for fertility. Stress is one of the biggest culprits in stopping people becoming pregnant - it affects both male and female fertility. It makes sense - in times of stress our body reverts to a very primal response and treats that stress as an indication of threat. Would you want to nurture your baby in an environment that is a threat?

It's not uncommon that a women will try to get pregnant for years then after adopting, will finally catch - when she has stopped being anxious about becoming pregnant.

When I see a fertility client for the first time, I always get a very full history and then ask their motivations for starting a family, and ask them to question honestly their reasons for becoming pregnant. What else is going on in their life at the time? Relationships with your parents can contirbute to anxieties or there may be concerns about the impact of a baby on your relationship with your partner.

I work with clients on helping them let go of anxities and fears, do some inner healing through visualisation and help them switch off the conscious desire to get pregnant enabling them to just get on with their lives - trusting in their body to do the rest subconsciously. I always suggest that they chuck the ovulation kit away and get spontanious in their sex life!

If someone is having IVF, hypnosis can increase the chances of success by 50%, but enabling the woman to relax during treatment.

Truly remarkable stuff - I just wish more women were aware of it.

When that thin blue line appears on the stick for a baby that has been long awaited...well I can't really put it into words.
