It had some great tips and methods to use while birthing m, but somehow they all went out the door during birth and I didn’t use a single thing. Jan 06, 2024

I'm a believer, if only for speeding the prices along (ie in tandem with other pain management.) But I ended up requiring a c section and never got to test anything out. Jul 04, 2023
I didn’t fill on hypnobirthing but definitely had great techniques for anyone giving birth. Nov 05, 2022

I didn’t enjoy the hypnobirthing course I took, but I absolutely loved this book. It eliminated my fear surrounding birth. Even if you don’t plan to take a course, this book is worth reading. Jun 06, 2022

We took hypnobirthing classes before both our births. The breathing and relaxation methods taught in this book are powerful during birth and life. Even if you ignore the hypnosis, it’s worth a look! Mar 20, 2019

Wasn't what I was expecting and didn't end up using the techniques during labor. Mar 27, 2014

Gives a great perspective on how birth can be for many women. I used this every day of my pregnancy and was able to cope through a challenging labour because of it. Mar 12, 2014
Really great visualizations for getting through labor Jan 22, 2014

We love the class; I don't think I would love the book as much if it weren't for the class. The content of the book is great, but the class really brings it together better. Oct 30, 2013
This book is excellent at preparing for a calm, natural child birth experience for mom, dad, and baby. AND THIS METHOD ACTUALLY WORKS. Use it months before labor. Oct 28, 2013

I liked listening to this but it did not help me at all when I was in labor Apr 11, 2017

I started it, never finished. Tried the breathing, but that mostly felt natural once I was in labor anyway. Worth a shot for anyone. Nov 14, 2014
