Pregnancy Relaxation: Hypnobirthing for a Relaxed Pregnancy Audio CD – CD, 1 Jan. 2016

This might sound obvious going by the title, but this is very much about general relaxation for pregnancy and doesn't directly deal with coping with childbirth.I say this because I'm 35 weeks pregnant and was hoping for something a little more directly practical for childbirth - something closer to hypnotherapy for birth. Having done yoga and pilates in the past, and so generally aware of relaxation methods, I didn't find that this CD really brought anything new and so I was a little disappointed.If you are someone who is struggling with relaxing and needs help to sleep, or is feeling anxious, this may well help. But if you'd like specific techniques for the birth itself, or you're expecting to learn about any of the more positive thinking methods around childbirth (such as changes in language from 'contractions' to 'surges', etc), then this product is unlikely to deliver.

This is good, though it's just a single 30ish minute track which I'm not sure I was totally clear on from the description. Very relaxing but you'd need to have read a Hypnobirthing book to get the most from it.

This CD was really helpful when my wife was pregnant, I don't know how we would have got through the emotional side of her pregnancy without it. We had IVF which is traumatic in itself so when my wife started to suffer with bad sickness and feeling low due to hormones that she had to take we found this CD was the best thing to support us both! We would highly recommend it to anyone who is willing to have an open mind and give something different a try!

Useful product. I used it every night before I went into early labour. I didn't find the voice irritating and regularly fell asleep while listening. Made me nice and relaxed.I can't comment on if it helped with the birthing process, but I was very calm throughout an emergency situation.I would use this again and recommend it to other people.

I was reccomended to try this by my midwife as I was getting very stressed trying to juggle work pressures and care for my well-being during pregnancy. I found it very very helpful. the fact that it is only 25mins long makes it manageable to fit ininto your daily life.

I bought this when pregnant with my second child, hoping to relax deeply. Didn't work for me at all. In fact, I found it annoying. I have used self-hypnosis before (weight management CDs) which were much more effective and very calming.I'm not sure I believe you can 'think' yourself into a good pregnancy or labor or babyhood. There's too many extraneous factors.Every pregnancy and baby is different. I would save the money for a real-life therapeutic treatment, like a massage, rather than this product, to help you relax.

Bought for friend who says it is an:-Excellent aid for relaxationCannot comment any further as bought as a gift!

I've just received this CD and wanted it to help me with regular relaxation. I have used other CDs in the past for this, and this one does not disappoint. I'm looking forward to using it throughout the remaining of my pregnancy (currently 21 weeks) before moving onto the effective birth preparation and labour companion CDs which I've already bought (although not tried yet!)
