Book Reviews of HypnoBirthing: The Mongan Method: A natural approach to a safe, easier, more comfortable birthing (3rd Edition)

Book Review: Amazing Birth Experience
Summary: 5 Stars

My husband and I agreed that we both wanted a natural childbirth before getting pregnant with our daughter. When the time came to actually start thinking about our plans, I did a lot of research. I searched message boards that I was part of, I searched Google, Amazon, asked friends and family members before purchasing this and several other books. This was the book we used almost extensively though. I did attend the classes (approximately $300 for six 2 1/2 hour classes which includes a copy of the book, the CD included with the book and another supplemental CD also available to purchase from the HypnoBirthing website).

Yes, the classes really helped a lot, but the book and CD that came with the book helped a lot, too. I read the book several times and practiced the relaxation techniques often. I listened to the CD almost daily during my lunch break.

The night before I gave birth, I listened to my CD, sat on my birthing ball and just relaxed for about an hour - which I think greatly helped my labor. When the day of labor and delivery came, I progressed extremely quickly - from 3 cm to 10 cm in about 1 1/2 hours. I never could figure out the birthing breath even with my instructor's help, so I did "push" my daughter out. But overall, I had the most amazing birth experience I could have ever asked for. I honestly don't remember the pain of delivery. I remember the pain of my contractions, but that was mainly because the pain was almost completely in my hips and felt like very bad arthritis pain (which I already have in my hips).

I let my cousin borrow this book as well. They weren't able to take the classes, but she had a natural childbirth as well and said that the book was a huge help to her.

I'm already pregnant again and we no doubt will be using Ms. Mongan's method with this birth, too. If you are planning on a natural childbirth experience, I highly recommend this book.

"Move over, Lamaze. HypnoBirthers say their form of deep relaxation takes the panting and pain out of labor."
-Time Magazine

HypnoBirthing?: A Celebration of Life - with Birth Exercise CD Included!

Childbirth is not something to be feared; it is a natural expression of life. With HypnoBirthing, your pregnancy and childbirth will become the gentle, life-affirming process it was meant to be.

In this easy-to-understand guide, HypnoBirthing founder Marie Mongan explodes the myth of pain as a natural accompaniment to birth. She proves through sound medical information that it is not our bodies but our culture that has made childbirth a moment of anguish, and that when we release the fear of birth, a fear that is keeping our bodies tense and closed, we will also release the pain.

HypnoBirthing is nature, not manipulation. It relaxes the mind in order to let the body work as it is designed. The HypnoBirthing exercises-positive thinking, relaxation, visualization, breathing and physical preparation-will lead to a happy and comfortable pregnancy, even if you are currently unsure of an intervention-free birth. Your confidence, trust and happy anticipation will in turn lead to the peaceful, fulfilling and bonding birth that is your right as a mother.

More than 10,000 happy couples have had their lives changed for the better by HypnoBirthing. More than 500 news organizations-including Good Morning America, The Today Show, Dateline, The Richard & Judy Show, Time, Newsweek, Parenting and Better Homes & Gardens-have joined the movement for better birthing.

Why is HypnoBirthing changing the way the world gives birth? That's simple. Because it works.
