I'm reading a hypnobirthing book currently.
I haven't really been practising any of the breathing etc yet, but I like the ideas behind it that birth doesn't have to be an extremely painful and traumatic experience. ]]> Tue, 28 Feb 2012 09:11:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41646&PID=5783687&title=hypno-birthing#5783687 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41646&PID=5783609&title=hypno-birthing#5783609 Author: Kellz

I read the book- found it made lots of sense- would have liked to do a course but none anywhere near us.
It was awesome to read how birth is a natural thing, and it concinced me it could be that way for me too- which is totally wasnt for #1- had a very medicallised, long , traumatic hospital birth.
I like the list of positive affirmations in the book- phrases to resite to yourself for the birth- I also found more online and coplied my own lists of the ones I liked.
I found the lists of the things to have in your birth plan really good too- after a traumatic first birth- it made so much sense to me not to time contractions etc- I never would have thought about how this negatively impatcs on our thoughts during labour.

Definately recommend the book- I didnt exactly have a hypnobirth cos I didnt do all the full trance breathing stuff, but all the techniques I learnt from the book made the birth a joyful wonderful experience. Was beautiful- there is nothing Im gonna do differently this time.

I have the book and listened to the CD in my last month.

Unfortunately I had to have a c-section (breech baby) but I used some of the relaxation methods when I was getting my spinal.

I think it made me more calm towards the end and it certainly helped with my sleeping. If I didn't listen to it for whatever reason I wouldn't sleep so well.

There are probably more benefits from attending a course, or getting your partner to get involved too.]]> Mon, 27 Feb 2012 20:20:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41646&PID=5783601&title=hypno-birthing#5783601 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41646&PID=5783533&title=hypno-birthing#5783533 Author: Pepi-bebe

Hi there,

I've been reading up on this and looking at some videos online and it looks pretty amazing and what they say in the book etc actually makes sense to me.

Is anyone else considering using it or have you used it before?

Thanks.]]> Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:06:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41646&PID=5783533&title=hypno-birthing#5783533
