Mothers-to-be will be taught to hypnotise themselves before giving birth in NHS trial | Mail Online

Expectant mothers will be taught to hypnotise themselves before giving birth as an alternative to painkillers.

They will learn to put themselves in a trance-like state during labour in the hope that they will not need costly drug treatments such as epidurals, laughing gas or morphine.

More than 800 first-time mothers will take part in the 18-month NHS trial study on the effectiveness of hypnobirthing.
