This book took away all my birthing anxiety and fears. A must have for any woman wanting a natural birthing experience!!!
I have read the book, listened to the relaxation CD's, and taken 5 classes with a licenced Hypnobirthing instructor. I'm 19 and having a homebirth/hypnobirthing with a midwife who also knows a ton about the hypnobirthing. I started the classes and everything at 35 weeks, cutting it close, but the confidence, and hypnobirthing explaination of the body/mind has made a HUGE HUGE difference. Before, I was still pretty scared and had a pretty distorted view on bithing. I had heard some horror stories even with my own birth and thought that's how mine was supposed to be, too. I knew I wanted to go all natural but without the hypnobirthing practice this could have all been a big scary mess. I won't let my first childbirth to be some traumatic and crazy screaming scene from out of a movie. I want it to be gentle and not forced but just the way that nature meant for our bodies to actually work!! I use the beathing techniques during practice surges and also to fall asleep which i wasn't getting enough of at all, and for just the every day stresses of life.
I just finished this book and am now working on the relaxation techniques. It is a refreshing look at childbirth and is making me excited (and not scared) of my baby's birth! I recommend all expectant mom's who want to give birth in a calm and relaxing environment read this book!
