Most will admit to being skeptics about hypnobirthing before coming on board, but change their view completely after the class when they realise the benefits are for them both not just the mother. This led onto multiple medical interventions, I had to have a sweep, my waters broken, hooked up to monitors and was even told at one point that I was going to have to have an emergency C-section. I found the accompanying meditation tracks useful but found birth affirmations tracks I found more useful on YouTube.

Try listening to them at different times of the day, with and without headphones, and using in the positions outlined in the book (see pages 00). In Mindful Hypnobirthing you use a lot of short, simple and easy to learn conditioning tools, so that your soothing system is activated unconsciously without thoughts getting in the way. Part 2 is all about labour: learning how to take the techniques practiced in part 1 and apply them to the birth.

During this time, I went from 5 to 9 cm dilated in 25 minutes, the people in the room with me were amazed and later told me that it was as though I was in some sort of trance. When I finally reached 5cm dilated I had a moment where I completely changed my attitude, I realised that even though my labour was different to what I had planned, I could still stay in control.

Here are the tools and techniques you need to give yourself the best birth experience possible, plus the opportunity of a complete or at least a significant reduction in pain limiting the need/risks associated with medical interventions.It was not pain free but I had a different perspective on the pain (this is my fifth baby) and felt more in control. It’s putting the hypno, back into hypnobirthing so you really get the best tools underpinned by the latest evidence.

I listen in the bath regularly and at bedtime and am on my third or fourth repeat fo the book now waiting for baby number 2's arrival. We strongly believe that when the birthing partner feels comfortable, knows what to expect and how they can help during the birth it makes and immense difference to the mother and baby.

This book takes a refreshingly positive approach to birth, helping mums-to-be look forward to the experience with excitement rather than apprehension. With advice from nurses and midwives as well as hypnotherapists and psychologists, this book will answer all your questions, explain your options and teach you to trust your body so you can have the birth that you want. You’ll learn to use tools and techniques that help shift old beliefs and create new deep-seated beliefs that you can birth your baby, and it can be a positive, even euphoric, experience.

I'm always happy reply to questions and am interested in the process of change that happens internally as you learn about options and the power of your mind, rather than just giving people a set of techniques. The BEST part about this book is that you can use these principles no matter where or how you birth.
