Hypnobirthing: Practical Ways to Make Your Birth Better

Product Information

Molte informazioni le ho trovate utili, alcuni esercizi anche e ci sono molte cose sul parto che è bene sapere. I highly highly recommend this book as one of the top books to read to prepare for birth for any soon to be mom! In fact, when it comes to pregnancy, birth and parenting, a good rule of thumb is: never miss an opportunity to sleep. There are other chapters that I didn't elaborate on in this review that includes helpful guidelines for decision making, explanation about induction, how to practice hypnobirthing during a cesarean birth, and even a complete packing list for a birth bag—information that is good to know for when it's needed. The keys seem to be, first, to replace the TV vision of birth in your head with "positive birth stories", of which there are many.

I don’t know how many times she says to “change the space with electric tea lights” or “listen to a guided meditation or podcast” or how many time she recommends a “quick spritz with an essential oils room spray” but it’s A LOT.Setting the environment is more important than you think, and the nurses/doctors kept saying how my room was full of good vibes and the one to be in. So I came across this book and it has really helped her, a great gift for your pregnant friend for sure. Hypnobirthing teaches you how your body works on a muscular and hormonal level when in labour, and how to work with your body to make birth more efficient and comfortable. As someone who has gone through labor once I wasn't as interested in the "what," but this did help to explain a lot of the "whys. Anything that helps me identify tension and learn how to relax is (I imagine) going to be a good thing, so this book does a good job of that.

I found the breathing techniques helpful and applied them which turned out to be very successful during pushing. Really good information not just about hypnobirthing but also about how a pregnancy works, how your body and muskle work. In definitiva, utile per certi versi ma si sta parlando di una persona che sostanzialmente vende quello che racconta e purtroppo questo l’ho avvertito tanto. It's not dogmatic about birth needing to be 'natural', and the author says to be ready for changes to the plan, and that a C-section is just as positive as a vaginal birth if it feels positive. As well, good information about the many posibilities/options that a future mother has when it comes to give birth.People can get as crunchy as they want, myself having packed an essential oil to bring to the hospital, but no amount of woowoo affirmations is going to give a newborn baby the Hepatitis B vaccine.

This book is for EVERY type of person and for EVERY type of birth -- from a home water birth through to an unplanned caesarean.

some of the information (at the beginning of the book) about what your body is doing in labour is useful for understanding the physical process and understanding how fear affects your level of pain.This book really outlines what to expect during each phase of labor for you and your birth partner so you feel ready and knowledgeable. Edit: although ended up not giving birth naturally, this book put me in the right mindset and I am forever thankful. I'm all for positive birth stories, and empowering women to believe that they can have a positive birth experience. This book has kind of a fancy/ weird title, but I think a better one (and I feel like the author would agree) would be: Just breathe!
