Fell asleep 2 days in a row practicing Hypnobirthing

Soooo yesterday I totally fell asleep right after listening to the relaxation CD.  Attributed it to be exhausted.  Today I fell asleep after listening to it when I wasn't tired at all.  

Hoping it's a good sign!  It MUST be relaxing me!  Wouldn't it be nice if I fell asleep during acting labor.  HAHAHA.  ;)

    Same here! I'm doing meditations provided by my doula group, but I've fallen asleep almost every time I do them! I keep feeling like I'm failing at meditation, but I've been told that it's actually a deep hypnotic state. I'm just going to go with that exp

    That's a good idea.  I was thinking about doing that.

    It is totally normal. I used the relaxation tracks as sleep aids late in my pregnancy when I was often experiencing insomnia.

    Just try to listen to the tracks at other times than right before bed and while sitting up. Eventually you will mak

    I fall asleep almost every afternoon to my Hypnobabies tracks. I have heard all of them to the end at least twice so I know what's on them, but I don't mind the extra sleep at all.

    I fall asleep to my Hypnobabies tracks all the time. It's not a bad thing; your mind continues to assimilate some of the info even once you're asleep.

    We're taking a hypnobirthing class right now with five other couples and there are two people in the class who, without fail, fall asleep every time and begin snoring.  I have a hard time letting myself "go" enough in a group situation to get THAT re

    Took me a month of listening to it before I made it all the way through since I was always listening to it before bed.  With a month left in this pregnancy I now practice it at other times of day at the advice of my instructor.  Works well after
