Some moms plan to have an epidural, and some plan to keep that option open, “just in case” and Hypnobabies works really well for both of these moms. It helps them stay much more comfortable while they’re at home, and at the hospital until they get the epidural. In fact, Many moms who plan epidurals discover they are comfortable enough with Hypnobabies, that they never felt they ‘needed’ one! Now, that’s impressive! Occasionally, a mom has had an experience, or heard a story, where the epidural didn’t quite work the way it was expected to. These moms want a “back up plan” to help keep them as calm and comfortable as possible, no matter what happens, and Hypnobabies is a perfect fit.
