Hypnobirthing?

I have a friend that wants to try hypnobirthing.  For those of you who used this how did you learn it, through tapes or a person?  She has looked into it, but the tapes are extremely expensive.  Are the tapes worth it?  TIA

    i think the audio is ESSENTIAL when you are in the throws of labor (you can block everyone w/ headphones to!)...  and if you really practice the mediations it will help you be calm through contractions.  i think this is one of the best techniques.  i found someone i knew who let me borrow the book and i burned the cd from my midwife - you can find it on amazon.com for really cheap - used to...

    I've been reading Hypnobirthing. I got it from the library so I made copies of the excersise pages and techniques. It also had a Cd with it which I just burned off a copy. It's a really good book and think it is really going to help.

    We're such a small club, aren't we? I found a hypnobirthing book at my library and decided to read it just for the heck of it - and I fell in LOVE with it! I immediately ordered it from my local bookstore so I'd have my own copy, and it came with one CD (great idea on the headphones, btw, I'll have to remember that!). I was debating whether or not to take a class (we have lots where we live), because they're expensive, but since I feel like I'm the only person in the world planning a natural birth, let alone a hypnobirth, I thought it would be a good way to meet some other people and not feel so isolated, so I'm going to do it. Hypnobirthing.com has a forum with some info on it, but it's not terribly active.

    yes indeed we are a small club - sucks.  i wish more women planned/plan to go natural...

    i would suggest joining mothering.com's forum - it is a little 'crunchy', but full of great info - espec. on natural birth.  this board is unfort. not where you will get a lot of support.

    I'm studying Hypnobabies for my first pregnancy, but there is also Hypnobirthing. I've studies both types and it seems that for Hypnobirthing, you may need to supplement with in-class course whereas with Hypnobabies--it's all reading and audio. Both courses have great reviews! good luck
