Background: Worldwide interest in hypnobirthing has grown as an empowering and upbeat approach to childbirth. Hypnobirthing is a technique for preparing pregnant women for childbirth that aims to get them psychologically and physically ready to deliver in a less painful, self-conscious, and fear-free manner. The aim of such research was to explore the effect of hypnobirthing preparation on Pain Intensity, Anxiety, and Satisfaction among parturient women. Design: a quasi-experimental research design was applied in the study. Setting: The study was conducted at the antenatal outpatient clinic & and labor ward at Damanhour National Medical Institute. Subjects: A purposive sample of 80 pregnant women was selected. Tools: four tools were used for data gathering. The first tool: Basic data structured interview schedule. The second tool is the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The third tool is the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) this tool was created by Beck et al. (1988) to measure the severity of anxiety. The fourth tool: The Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R). This tool was created by Martin and Martin (2014) to measure women's satisfaction with care and experience of labor. Results: Regarding the Visual Analog Scale rating there was a statistically significant variation between the control and the study group after intervention where p = (<0.001) in favor of the study group. Also, A highly statistically significant difference was found in relation to the level of anxiety between the control and the study group after intervention where p = (<0.001) in favor of the study group. Furthermore, it can be observed that (57.5%) of women in the control group were dissatisfied compared to none (0.0 %) of women in the study group. Moreover, none (0.0 %) of women in the control group were satisfied compared to (72.5 %) of women in the study group. Conclusion: Hypnobirthing application during the active phase of the first stage of labor significantly reduced labor pain intensity and anxiety level. Additionally, utilizing it gave satisfaction for laboring woman. Recommendations: Including the hypnobirthing preparations with standard hospital care prior to delivery to enhance the experience of labor
