Summary

Labour pain is a challenge to the parturient woman. Pain relief methods during birth are limited and often associated with side effects. Several studies indicate that a mental trainings method, self hypnosis, has a positive impact on the labour pain and other birth outcomes.

The aim of this randomized controlled study is to examine the effect of a short antenatal course in self hypnosis on the use of epidural analgesia during birth and several other birth outcomes. Data collection includes questionnaires, register data, medical records and biological material.
