Your Baby, Your Birth: Hypnobirthing Skills For Every Birth

Reviews

Pauline Keegan

Only wish I had found the book sooner and had more time to practice the affirmations and other techniques! Reading this book taught me so much about how little things, like breathing techniques, can have a massive impact on your labour. Don’t be put off by the word hypnobirthing - it’s nothing weird or hippy, it’s just tuning in to what your body already knows how to do naturally. So whilst I did not have a chance to practice during my pregnancy - I am still so glad I found it, it is a game changer.

Every pregnant woman should read this book. I've marked up so much of it on my kindle and now need to make some notes and reminders for labour (which is imminent). Real stories from mothers using hypnobirthing are scattered throughout the book and provide an awareness and encouragement that this birthing method really does work. Im not pregnant but read this for work and am now using it to super power myself in general helping my mind to stay healthy and positive.

The author, Hollie, shares her own experience of how hypnobirthing changed her pregnancy into something beautiful and anticipated, rather than scary and messy. Loved this book. I am not saying it wasn’t incredibly hard work and by far the most intense experience I will ever have in my life, however I had no pain relief and just had this overriding feeling of complete belief that I could do it, that every second of the process had a purpose and even when it did not go how I planned (at all) that was ok.

Hollie shows how pregnancy your way, with a calm and informed attitude, can prepare you fully for motherhood and the journey that continues after birth. I however, was at total ease during the whole process. I don’t think it looked like that outwardly, I distinctly remember feeling like a wild animal whilst going through transition, but it had purpose. All makes perfect logical sense (not new age or airy fairy) but you're likely to be totally unaware of this information when giving birth unless you happen to come across Hollie's book.

The relaxation mp3 is a must as well! So insightful with great advice that's practical and easy to follow. There’s ideas for soft massages for mum, ways that the birth partner can support and be a part of the big day and skills for creating a nest in your environment so that you’re as comfy as possible while giving birth. Loved it, super clever.

The midwives who looked after us were in aw of how calm I was the whole time. I actually ended up with an incredibly long labour over 3 days which ended in 2 hours of pushing, no pool, ventouse, catheter, IV fluids whilst my baby was in serious distress. "I am preparing for the birth of a calm baby and a confident mother" :) Thanks Hollie
