Description

The revised and updated 4th edition of the original guide by Marie Mongan, founder of the global HypnoBirthing Institute.

A tried and tested technique, as well as a philosophy, HypnoBirthing gives you the tools and knowledge to approach labour with confidence. Pioneered by hypnotherapist and birth educator Marie Mongan, HypnoBirthing has gained momentum around the globe as a positive and empowering method of childbirth.

HypnoBirthing is about understanding the birthing body – what happens, why and when – and learning how to progress your labour using movement, breath and powerful visualisation techniques to manage pain. Based on decades of practice within The HypnoBirthing Institute, this complete guide will:

– Prepare you physically and mentally with exercises and birthing positions
– Teach hypnotism and visualisation techniques to manage pain and banish fear
– Explain medical jargon so you can understand and work with medical assistance if needed
– Lead you through each stage of labour, step by step

Guiding you through the philosophy and techniques of normal, gentle birthing, HypnoBirthing will help you take control of your labour for a positive birth, whether you are having a natural, assisted or caesarean birth.
