Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Hypnobirthing emphasizes techniques such as visualization and relaxation to help the mother manage pain and stress during childbirth. It encourages focusing on calming images and reducing muscle tension to facilitate a smoother birthing process, rather than relying on medical interventions like general anesthesia or necessarily involving additional support persons like coaches or doulas, although they can be part of the process if chosen.
