Your Baby, Your Birth: Hypnobirthing Skills For Every Birth Paperback – August 30, 2018

Easy to follow, practical advice on how to give birth without fear regardless of what path you choose (or end up going down.) I highly recommend this book to any pregnant woman or birthing partner.

This book took out a lot of fear about labor. The idea of accepting what my body is doing to bring my baby earth side and also preparing incase things don’t go according to plan. I feel excited for labor and will give an update after I go through it. If you have a partner to read this book with I highly recommend so.

This book is truly empowering for someone wanting to attempt a vaginal birth. I appreciated the exercises for preparation for labor and birth, they truly helped me be in a better head space. The detailed explanations of what is happening in each stage and how you can work with your body to make things easier was *invaluable*!The only reason I would give this book 4 stars is that the author is UK based and because of that, the health care provider info and info about choosing a location to give birth, isn't quite the same as it is for someone in the US (this book is being sold to the US, so IMO it should have US relevent info). We need a book like this with US based info!! PLEASE!?

Great, easy to read and understand advice. Some parts are a bit hokey, but it’s overall a great book to learn what your body is going through and how to advocate for yourself. Was the first pregnancy book I read and I plan to take some of the advice into the delivery room! Really clearly worded and taught me things I definitely didn’t know about!

Really enjoyed reading this book while I was pregnant with my first child. It was very uplifting and informative on the practice of hynobirthing/pregnancy.

Love this his! Supportive and encouraging. Easy read

I didn't find this book overly helpful. The MP3 music is the best part but you can access those without buying the book. The book might be helpful for someone who is super anxious or has trouble chilling out but I didn't find any tips that I felt were specific to birth and pregnancy. They were all general relaxation techniques that I already knew.

I first read this book three years ago but realized I never left a review and the book is just too good to not leave a review for. When I was pregnant with my first child, I was scared to death of childbirth and the mental part of it felt overwhelming to me. I knew I needed to be prepared mentally but had no idea where to start.I’m honestly not sure where I found “Your Baby, Your Birth”, but I’m so glad I did. I read a LOT of books about childbirth leading up to that first birth and this was by far my favorite. The idea of hypnobirthing seemed very out there to me (especially as a Christian), but the book does a great job of explaining right away what it is and what it is not. In the end, I used some of the hypnobirthing techniques, altered others (such as using Bible verses as affirmations), and didn’t use others.However, the best part of the book, to me, was the thorough explanation of exactly what happens during childbirth and how your body and mind react. Understanding the connection between fear and pain was a game changer for me, and this book is extremely helpful in that regard. For this reason, I’d recommend this book to anyone prior to childbirth, regardless of how you feel about hypnobirthing.The other thing that has to be noted here is how beautifully judgement-free this book is. So many childbirth books, especially those that help with the mental aspect of childbirth, have a way of passing judgment on so many of the decisions mamas make during childbirth. This book, however, is clear in its support of whatever decisions you make and is helpful regardless of whether you’re having a home birth, hospital birth, epidural, med-free, c-section, the list goes on, birth.I’ve now had two births without pain medication and genuinely loved the experience. I believe a big part of that is due to this book.
