I use this book as I think that there are some lovely techniques. I prefer a more tailored approach that can adapt to different women. But there is no denying this works and has a huge following.

A lovely book which teaches you how to use hypnosis and other techniques for a healthy pregnancy. Creative and inspiring if a little happy clappy.

I like this as it show you how to use techniques and to do your own scripts. You will need time and dedication - also partner support to make this work.

A very popular book but remember each pregnancy is different so try not to let yourself be guided by a book. Let you guide yourself!

Buy this for dad you may hate it but he will love it. Very tongue in cheek with descriptions of different coloured poo.

As above, but might raise a few eyebrows if you are a working mum with your child in nursery. Read this if you are toying with the idea of going back to work, but aren't sure.

Sheila is an inspiration. She empowers women to give birth the way they want. Her pragmatic no nonsense approach to natural birth is fab. Also check out her website.

This is a wonderful book which shows how women can give birth beautifully and with dignity. A must if you are interested in natural childbirth.
