Hi Everyone,

Teeny - I am doing the Natalhypnotherapy CDs. I did the course as well and that made me feel more relaxed about having a homebirth but I'm not sure I would recommend doing that (because it was £175 and I'm not sure it was worth it) - prehaps just the cds - will let you know after the birth. I have seen the CDs on ebay BTW. The cd defintley relaxs me!
