Book Reviews of Better Birthing with Hypnosis : Mindful Pregnancy and Easy Labor Using the LeClaire Method
Book Review: Not bad, not great.
Summary: 3 Stars
This book was a bit content poor when it comes to actual self-hypnosis techniques. Honestly, just check it out from the library and photocopy the 10 pages of useful guided imagery scripts and return it. I have practiced meditation and "mindfulness" in the past but I found the book to be a bit much on the touchy-feely, new-agey scale. If you're prone to pregnancy paranoia this book will definitely bring it on as it stresses that EVERYTHING you DO, THINK and FEEL has an impact on the unborn (or, as the book calls it, the "uborn") fetus. After reading this last bit it made me feel like the book thought that if I had a particularly stressful day at work I was being a bad parent. It is also chock full of "Case Studies" showing how your unexamined feelings are all ready screwing up your child. Whatever. One thing that was nice about the book was that it didn't waste a lot of time discussing how you should put your foot down about how you don't want all these interventions that nobody does anymore anyway (i.e. enemas, pubic shaves, routine IVs) unless you have a 60 year old male gyno in a rural hospital. So, bottom line, read the meditation portions, skip the rest.
Summary of Better Birthing with Hypnosis : Mindful Pregnancy and Easy Labor Using the LeClaire Method
Birthing through hypnosis is a Lamaze program for the 21st century. With this method, women use self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques during labor, eliminating much of the fear and tension that lead to pain. Better Birthing With Hypnosis introduces a new method of childbirth developed by the author to help mothers-to-be experience this sensation in a calm, joyous, and pain-free manner. It also provides a safe and peaceful entry into the world for the baby.General Books
