intro and hypnobirth question

in Natural Birth

Hi ladies!  I have been on the bump for awhile but have never posted on this board, I didn't even see this board was here!  I have known for awhile that I want to pursue a natural birth but had not heard of hypnobirthing until recently.  I immediately got the book and I love the concept.  I am currently 34 weeks, so I am starting this very late.  I have been to a regular childbirth class but have not been to hypnobirthing classes and will not be able to get them in before the LO arrives. 

My question is-  have any of you tried hypnobirthing using the book and relaxation CD alone?  Were you able to do it effectively? 

Thanks for your help!

    Good question! I'm in the same position as you. I just started reading the book as well and I really like the concepts.

    I did Hypnobirthing and thought it was amazing.  But I can tell you that had I just read the book and listened to the CDs it wouldn't have been enough, it's not meant to be a substitute for the class.  What about Hypnobabies?  That's a self-study course.  It isn't the same, but similar concept.

    Also if you sign up for their newsletter they should send you a 10% off code that works for the Hypnobabies self-study.

    With my 2nd baby, I read the book and practiced with and without the CD.  It worked really well for me until I got to 7 cm and baby's heart rate dropped and I ended up with a C-section.  I do think it would have been even more effective had I taken the classes.  I have been investigating hypnobabies for this birth and just got a 50% off code in the newsletter!  Good luck!!

    I used the hypnobabies home course, and I credit it for my positive natural birth even though my water broke five weeks early. I posted my birth story today.

    I'm working on the home study course. I read the book. I can't take the class, so I hope that, and how stubborn I can be when my mind is set on doing something, get me through it.
