Hypnobirthing: Practical Ways to Make Your Birth Better

Product Information

We believe community is everything, especially when it comes to growing and birthing a baby. Our communities are special - they’re not just a Facebook group. What’s more, you only get access when you’ve signed up to one of our courses, meaning you are in a place with like-minded people who are also using The Positive Birth Company’s hypnobirthing framework to prepare for birth. We go beyond to ensure every single member of our community feels supported as they navigate their pregnancy and birth, and people tell us access to these communities is worth the sign-up fee alone! Her down-to-earth approach makes her a sought after and successful hypnobirthing coach and with this audiobook you can listen to it again and again to help you prepare for birth. We all know how important it is to eat a healthy, balanced diet during pregnancy, but pregnancy cravings, food aversions and nausea can often make this feel like a real challenge. Coupled with ever-changing advice on the foods you should avoid during pregnancy, it can be hard to know where to start when eating for two.

Marie learnt this through having her own four children and went on to develop the Mongan Method in which she uses her experience and research to help women to free their mind from the fear of giving birth, to make it a more calm and even enjoyable experience. Before joining the content team at Mumsnet, Jenny worked as a journalist for newspapers, radio, TV and b2b trades magazines for over a decade. She is also a bestselling sci-fi author (writing as J M Briscoe) and parenting blogger. Write the midwife a letter and tell her not to communicate with you in labour or be examined or have any interventions? Hey I would definitely recommend Hypnobirthing: Practical Ways to Make Your Birth Better by Siobhan Miller (founder of the Positive Birth Company). I also enjoyed The Positive Birth Book by Milli Hill. I was absolutely TERRIFIED of giving birth but both these books have made me feel much more empowered and positive, even a little bit excited now!” (Recommended by Mumsnet user NicNac100) Our verdictI was disappointed that not all the relaxation exercises are given as audios but you're expected to read them or have them read to you. But learning to relax and stay calm may help you feel more in control during labour if things do not go according to plan. If you’re considering starting a family or taking steps towards conceiving, you may prefer a book that is focused on fertility and conception rather than pregnancy. Created by author and midwife Tracy Donegan, the GentleBirth app is a helpful tool for mums during pregnancy and labour.

Mindful Hypnobirthing: Hypnosis and Mindfulness Techniques for a Calm and Confident Birth by Sophie Fletcher If you want to learn about how you can create a calm and relaxing environment during childbirth, we’ve compiled a list of the best hypnobirthing books, courses, apps and podcasts, as recommended by mums. Mum-of-three Jenny Wonnacott is a Content Editor for Mumsnet, specialising in writing, editing and optimising pregnancy care and child play content. This book is for EVERY type of person and for EVERY type of birth -- from a home water birth through to an unplanned caesarean. Expert author?: What is the expertise of the author and can you trust their advice? Look for books written from reliable sources of information, particularly if they are focused on a particular approach to childbirth. We recommend books written by medical or pregnancy experts or coaches. Whilst celebrity parent books can be helpful, ultimately they tend to be based on a personal experience.

Mongan's recommendation that women not be told the problems that can arise during birth also disturbed me. While some individuals may be comfortable with less information, I for one want to know as much as possible about the process and intend to educate myself to the best of my ability. In doing that I hope to find out about both "normal" and problematic childbirth with the hope that I will be prepared for either. According to the World Health Organization, childbirth is the leading cause of death of women in developing nations. Is this just a "social construction"? Can we visualize this fact away? Shorten labor. Specifically, hypnosis during birth may help shorten the first stage of labor. This stage involves both early and active labor, when contractions become longer, stronger, and closer together as the cervix opens.
