"Move over, Lamaze. HypnoBirthers say their form of deep relaxation takes the panting and pain out of labor." -Time Magazine HypnoBirthing(R) A Celebration of Life - with Birth Exercise CD Included!
Childbirth is not something to be feared; it is a natural expression of life. With HypnoBirthing, your pregnancy and childbirth will become the gentle, life-affirming process it was meant to be.
In this easy-to-understand guide, HypnoBirthing founder Marie Mongan explodes the myth of pain as a natural accompaniment to birth. She proves through sound medical information that it is not our bodies but our culture that has made childbirth a moment of anguish, and that when we release the fear of birth, a fear that is keeping our bodies tense and closed, we will also release the pain.
HypnoBirthing is nature, not manipulation. It relaxes the mind in order to let the body work as it is designed. The HypnoBirthing exercises--positive thinking, relaxation, visualization, breathing and physical preparation--will lead to a happy and comfortable pregnancy, even if you are currently unsure of an intervention-free birth. Your confidence, trust and happy anticipation will in turn lead to the peaceful, fulfilling and bonding birth that is your right as a mother.
More than 10,000 happy couples have had their lives changed for the better by HypnoBirthing. More than 500 news organizations--including Good Morning America, The Today Show, Dateline, The Richard & Judy Show, Time, Newsweek, Parenting and Better Homes & Gardens--have joined the movement for better birthing.
Why is HypnoBirthing changing the way the world gives birth? That's simple. Because it works.

Great book! I had a terribly birth with my first daughter and wanted to feel more in control for my second. I totally subscribe to the idea that birth is natural (as opposed to a medical event) and that intervention should only be used in emergencies and this book helped cement my beliefs and gave me the tools to relax my mind and body and birth my daughter as nature intended. Give it a go, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Great book, learnt a lot from it & can't wait to put it all into practice, the CD is a nice bonus too! would recommend this book to those who are really wanting to give natural birthing a go!
I ordered this book after a friend recommended it when I was pregnant. I was very anxious about having to give birth. This book gave me easy exercises to do to calm me down and get me ready for the most incredible experience of my life. I now have a beautiful healthy daughter who was born naturally with only gas as pain relief. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in natural child birth as well as any mother(to be) who is anxious about the prospect of giving birth.
Loved this book. Very positive and simple. Takes the stress and misconceptions out of pregnancy and birth and focuses on a natural method that makes lots of sense. I am due to deliver in about two months and completed the course and practice just about each day. I feel my baby and I are calm and the breathing exercises have also helped me with my asthma.
I am a qualified midwife now pregnant with my first baby. I have so far found this book to be very insightful and full of very positive yet realistic views. I very much like the way that it gives you small and achievable exercises to prepare for a relaxed and natural birth. Each time I pick up this book and practice its teachings I feel more and more confident about the birth of my baby.
a good book showing a more positive side to birthing in both its approach (not focussing on the potenital negative things that can happen, however rare) and also its attitude toward birthing (ie. removing fear, promotes relaxation and reduces/ eliminates pain). the cd is also very relaxing to listen to.
if you're looking for a natural birth, read this book.

After reading this book and I went to hypnobirthing classes as it all made sense to me. Using hypnobirthing I had a beautiful natural birth free of painkillers and medical intervention. Would recommend this to anyone wanting a natural birth.
