Product Description

Childbirth is not something to be feared; it is a natural expression of life. 'HypnoBirthing' is a celebration of life and in embracing a natural birth, connection with your pre-born baby, will build a better understanding of your baby as a conscious little person who can interact with you, even before birth. Marie Mongan explodes the myth of pain as a natural accompaniment to birth, It is the fear of pain, a fear that keeps the body tense and closed during birth, that must be released to allow the experience of a gentle birth. Relaxing the mind allows the body to work. The HypnoBirthing method is an act of nature and not medical manipulation. Using the HypnoBirthing exercises - positive thinking, visualisation, breathing and physical preparation - will lead to a happy and comfortable pregnancy. In turn, the confidence, trust and life-affirming nature of your birth will be a life-changing experience for the rest of the life of the new family.

Great:)
This book helped me have a homebirth-my son was born at home and weighed over 9lb! It was incredible, no pain-relief what so ever. I had 2 student midwives there, one had never been to a birth and the others said to her that she wouldn't see many births where the mum was so calm and chilled!
I practised the breathing and as soon as I started having surges I started doing the breathing and just rocked back and forth on my ball. Definetly would recommend it.

Brilliant, effective & common sense
I read this book and attended a course when I was pregnant, and had the most incredible birth. Imagine getting to 8cm without knowing it and to the amazement of midwives. My birth was comfortable, exhilerating and wonderful. I'd recommend this book to everyone.

A breakthrough in natural childbirth!
If you are pregnant or considering having a baby then Hypnobirthing is a "must have". It teaches you that birth doesn't have to be full of fear and pain and that we, as women, were designed for that purpose.

Have you ever seen an animal, a cat for instance, give birth? how calm and peacful it all is? ever wondered why humans are the only species who SUFFER during labour? Then Hypnobirthing is the answer. We are conditioned, through years of negative stereotyping that birth is terribly painful - the result? it bloody well hurts! Hypnobirthing can help remove that fear leaving you to experience a calm, controlled and enjoyable birth.

I was so impressed after the birth of my son (without pain relief - no mean feat considering he weighed 11lbs and 3oz!) that I decided to train as a Hypnobirthing practitioner, surely that's proof enough of the pudding?
