fantastic birthing experience - By: Lcg, 26 Mar 2008 
First childbirth experience not nice, lots of intervention & PND. So for second pregnancy this book came recommended by a friend. Pure gold!! The book with it's history, philosophy & exercises made me feel empowered when it came to birthing. Gave birth to a beautiful baby boy 10lb 9!!Didn't think I was in labour, but when got to hospital was 8cm dilated!! A fantastic birthing experience which still gives me a buzz when I remember it. Baby & mum both doing great. Recommend this to every pregnant lady out there.
You MUST read this book - By: Rosie Goode, 24 Mar 2008 We are surrounded by so many negative stories & images of birth it can be hard to imagine how wonderful can be. HypnoBirthing is science based & shows clearly how women CAN ENJOY a wonderful, normal birth - easier, quicker, safer - an amazing experience for mothers & babies (and partners). I was so impressed that I trained as HypnoBirthing teacher. Read the book, listen to the CD, find a HypnoBirthing teacher & you too can have a wonderful birth. Increasing numbers of midwives throughout the UK are impressed by HypnoBirthing, seeing women enjoy a calm, normal, wonderful birth, as nature intended. You've nothing to lose & EVERYTHING TO GAIN - for you & your baby!
Fantastic book - another comfortable birth endorsement - By: C. Copeman-Bryant, 29 Jul 2007 I read this book as part of my hypnobirthing course, & I gave birth two weeks ago in a matter of six hours with no pain relief or intervention. It certainly wasn't the painful ordeal I'd been led to expect, & instead was an incredible, awesome experience. The CD helped me stay calm throughout - I'd definitely recommend this book (although preferably alongside a course from a certified practitioner) - in fact, I think it should be essential training for alll pregnant women & their birth partners.
Brilliant - By: K. A. Neale, 11 Feb 2007 The idea of Hypnobirthing is to have a safe,easier,more comfortable birth, & that is exactly what I had. I listened to the cd everyday for three months before giving birth,and had an amazing experience & can't wait to do it again. I can't lie & say it wasn't painful, but it was controllable, I was in labour for 4hrs,giving birth an hour after getting to hospital with some gas & air for pain relief. Definatley recommend it.
Relaxed - By: S. Manchester, 07 Feb 2007 
When I fell pregnant I was inundated with horror birth stories from plenty of mothers. I couldn't work out why women, who were designed to have babies, would be forced to endure such pain & suffering. Surely something was going wrong?
This book reinforced my thinking that birth is a natural process that we women are totallly prepared for, & provided lots of encouragement. I thought that it would provide more details than it did; the author refers frequently to 'your hypnobirthing practitioner'. The CD is useful to get started, though I have sought further expertise from a 'hypnobirthing practitioner'.
The birth is still 12 weeks away, & I'm yet to see if hypnobirthing will help me have a virtuallly pain-free birth, though I am feeling extremely relaxed about everything, & owe it to this book. I would recommend it.
