Hypnobirthing Dan Penurunan Kecemasan Ibu Hamil Trimester III Literature Review

Abstract

During pregnancy, there are physical and
psychological changes that occur in the mother.
Fear starts to arise in the third trimester. Pregnant
women begin to feel anxious about the baby's
well-being and their own, such as concerns about
the baby being born with abnormalities, the
process of childbirth, and delivery. This anxiety
can trigger uterine contractions that may result in
preterm birth, miscarriage, and depression.
Furthermore, these conditions can increase blood
pressure, leading to preeclampsia and
miscarriage. Many pregnant women employ
various methods to reduce their anxiety, one of
which is relaxation techniques or self hypnosis.
Hypnobirthing is a self-hypnosis technique, a
natural effort to implant positive
intentions/suggestions from the subconscious
mind during pregnancy.
Objective: To determine the role of
hypnobirthing technique in reducing anxiety in
pregnant women.
Method: A literature review was conducted on
the Google Scholar database between 2016 and
2024, focusing specifically on the effects of
hypnobirthing technique in reducing anxiety in
pregnant women. The results will be determined
through the literature review.
Results: Hypnobirthing technique has been
proven effective in reducing anxiety and distress
in pregnant women in the third trimester.
Conclusion: Hypnobirthing technique is one
approach that can reduce anxiety in pregnant
women in the third trimester as it has a positive
impact on childbirth preparation, helping mothers
feel calmer, prepared, and confident in facing the
labor process.
