Childbirth does not need to be feared, and women today are seeking a fearless birth.
Marie Mongan’s birthing concepts explode the myth of pain as an inevitable accompaniment to birth. In this practical guide, Mongan shows that when a woman releases the fear of birth that keeps the body tense and closed, she will be able to relax into a state of physical calm and will welcome the birth of her baby as a life-changing event, the transition into becoming a parent and forming a family.
The Mongan method of HypnoBirthing® addresses women’s natural
birthing instincts. It teaches women to relax the mind and body in order to produce hormones that allow the birthing body to work as it was created to work. The 95% of families whose pregnancies are in the normal or low-risk categories, as well as those whose health status may call for surgical birth, can use the exercises outlined in this book - positive thinking, relaxation, visualisation, breathing, nutrition and physical exercises - to follow a happy, comfortable pregnancy, which provides a peaceful and life-affirming birth that is every mother’s right.
The HypnoBirthing® book is based on Mongan’s belief that birth is natural, normal and healthy; and, in the absence of any special circumstances, a woman can achieve birth without pain, using her own innate knowledge, assisted by self-hypnosis.
I know this method works because I have had two babies using the techniques, the second was born at home, weighing 9lb 4 and almost entirely pain free. The only time I felt discomfort was when his head crowned. I urge all women to read the book and if they can do the HypnoBirthing classes, they make birth something that can be enjoyed!
