#11: The Power of Hypnobirthing with Care Messer

Are you interested in natural, drug-free childbirth but afraid of the pain? What if someone told you you could give birth with little or no pain.  Would you believe them?  Have you heard of hypnobirthing and interested in finding out more?  On LezBeMommies Radio, we will be investigating various methods for managing pain during labor, starting with an exploration of hypnobirthing with Care Messer, owner and founder of the Birth Education Center of San Diego, doula and certified hypnobirthing educator.  Care will explain what hypnobirthing is (and what it's not), how it works, how your partner plays a key role in the process, and what you can expect during labor.  Tune in to see if hynobirthing is right for you!
