Hypno birthing suggestions?

jodisgardner

hi ladies, I am really interested in learning hypno birthing techniques. Do any of you have suggestions of anything online? Apps? Id be really happy to hear about any you've maybe done and enjoyed

I've recently downloaded a hypnobirthing book onto my kindle and I'm pretty impressed with it so far. I includes weblinks to some online meditation tracks and it gives exercises throughout the book for you to practise. The only downside is that I keep falling asleep while practising the mindful breathing etc!

Curious as to the name of the book?

It's called Mindful Hypnobirthing and the author is Sophie Fletcher

That sounds amazing! I'll definitely check it out. Thanks so much for the suggestion. I tried some YouTube videos but also fell asleep in the breathing parts. @sarahsnowball

@jodisgardner maybe we're onto something and we're supposed to fall asleep through contractions and wake up when it's time to push the baby out

I dont think the goal is to fall asleep during labour, that's not really the intention of hypno birthing... It's more about relaxation. The falling asleep part is just a side affect of not being in labour and just shows that the relaxation part is working @sarahsnowball

I'm reading the Mindful Hypnobirthing book as well and I plan on going to classes soon. I can't have any pain relief medication so I'm having to look at natural alternatives. You could also check out reflexology and aromatherapy if that is your kind of thing.

Oops. I guess I should have used the *SARCASM* font for my last post.
My bad.
