Anyone have suggestions on books to help get you ready for a natural birth? Classes? What techniques/advice was helpful to the success of your natural birth? Any tips/tricks?
I am doing Hypnobirthing the Monegan Method. The book is an easy read and is wonderful. Hypnobirthign takes a lot of commitment and practice so it is not for everyone. I have read that a lot of people like HypnoBabies which is another method of hypnobirthing. Good luck!

The only book that really spoke to me was "Mindful Birthing" by Nancy Bardacke. It didn't say anything about how my birth "should" feel, and I really liked that. I did like "Natural Hospital Birth" as well.
