We took the hypnobirthing classes, did all the practice exercises and relaxation techniques, etc. And then I had to be induced because my water broke and contractions never came 24 hours afterwards... There went our birth plan
I have to say that the techniques that I learned in class were very helpful when it came to being relaxed, controlling my breathing and following my body. So, the short story is that I didn't get to have the kind of birthing experience that I planned and hoped for with Hypnobirthing, but I still feel that the class (and the book!) was very much worth the time and effort.

Good luck!!
If you google Hypnobabies you can read lots of birth stories on their website. I plan to do their home study program.
