Which Hypno Birth CD should I buy?

[franch]

Decided we can't afford a HypnoBirth course, so am going to try a CD instead. Recommendations?

I am a complete cynic though...

I seem to remember that this book (Birthing from Within: An Extraordinary Guide to Childbirth) was quite useful with some good ideas for women who had experienced traumatic first births. You might find that of interest.

Good luck! xx

Thanks mp. bonym recommended "Birthing from Within" too so I'm bidding for it on eBay

bonym, if you're still around, I've just started a 'wanted' thread for the Natal CDs - please let me know if you're finished with yours

Ah sorry yes I see BonyM's recommendation. Reading the reviews on Amazon has made me buy it again! (Think I sold my old copy!!!)

Not at all mp - useful to have confirmation of any recommendation

If you are talking about Gaskin and Kizinger than I definitely recommend M. Odent's books....

blimey, Gski. What resonated so much ?

Now I will be keen to hear how your births go after ALL that reading, when are you due?

2nd Aug for us.

5 Sept. Will do my best to get through 'Birthing from Within' but that'll be my lot - DD doesn't give me much time for reading

If anyone is interested, I run Birthing From Within style workshops in Hertfordshire and have one starting tomorrow night.

For more info see www.womantomother.co.uk

Just caught up with this - sorry franch ddin't see it before and have sold CDs on ebay. I do have both Birthing from Within and Birth Without Violence whcih I was going to put on ebay if anyone's interested.

Thanks bonym. Interested in Birthing from Within - how much would you want for it?

Hi Franch

I haven't read all of thread, but was very interested in what I did read.

I used Second Nature Birth Programme with my ds and I found it sooooo helpful!! You start this programme if I can remember around 20weeks?? and it consists of 3 cd's. 1 cd gives lots of helpful information on labour, breathing and has hypnotic exercises, 2 cd has 3 self hypnosis scripts which are for different stages of your pregnancy and the last one is another information cd on birth plans, aromatherapy, massage etc. I found it such a beautiful thing to do and without a doubt it helped me remain calm and connected with my birth. The company I ordered it from are Sussex Natural Childbirth. www.naturalchildbirth.co.uk

I'm pleased to see this method is becoming more popular. I don't know anyone else that used it.

Franch - you could have it for £4.00 + postage ( which would be £2.52 1st class, £2.00 2nd class). CAT me if you're interested.

Hi I would love to get the second nature birth programme cd's can you get in touch?
