Summary: The Only Book I needed for the Birth I dreamt about
Review: I purchased this when I was pregnant with my 3rd child. I had used the breathing techniques in hypnobirthing with my second. I loved the advice she gave while in labor in order to not focus on the pain. I have a high pain tolerance so that did not bother me. However, my husband and I did you the ankle technique. I got admitted to the hospital at 9:45 am and at 10:54 am I delivered my daughter. Thanks for the great advice.

Summary: great book
Review: I read Creative Childbirth (by the same author)with my second child and was able to have a totally natural childbirth with the methods explained in that book. I am now expecting my third child and read Better Birthing with Hypnosis and feel it contained more in depth decriptions on how to relax and gave more information about what to do and when to do it. I feel comfortable that I will be able to have another natural, less painfull birth this time, as I did with my second child.

Summary: Awesome for a 1st pregnancy!
Review: I read this book when I was pregnant with my daughter. It was incredible! I believe that this book was the only reason why I managed to get through my 34 hour drug-free (until the epidural for the c-section) back labor with ease! Unfortunately, I didn't get the labor & delivery experience I was hoping for and ended up with a c-section. This book also helped me deal with the pain from the surgery and 3 days after my daughter was born I was able to quit taking my pain medication. This is one of the few books I am keeping on my bookshelf in case I need it again.

Summary: a must for conquering the fear of childbirth
Review: My primary reason for reading this book was to deal with some severe anxiety I had about childbirth and hospitals in general. The book details the psychological and biochemical processes of childbirth and provides some great historical perspective on women's ability to birth naturally. The book left me feeling very confident about my own abilities. I now plan to labor in a hospital but not as a terrified victim desperate for pain medication. I am going into this with ownership and responsibility and look forward to making this one of the greatest days of my life. The book helped tremendously to get me to this point.

Summary: I plan to use hypnosis for birth, but ...
Review: This book is a bit too "new-agey" for my taste. I think the ideas presented are good, and I do intend to use hypnosis with the birth of my next child, but this book just didn't appeal to me as much as I thought it might.It also seemed to present some mixed information on breastfeeding, which is a particular pet peeve of mine. Some of the information given was very good, and other information was not exactly in line with current medical recommendations. All in all, it's certainly not a bad book, and if your tastes run more to the new-age in other areas, you will probably particularly enjoy this book. If not, you may prefer a different method for learning hypnosis for childbirth.

Summary: The Only Book I needed for the Birth I dreamt about
Review: This book is filled with all the latest easy applications of Mind/body medicine . I love that Dr Leclaire Oneill is both an R.N. and a psychologist . She has thought of everything that might possibly arise . I was molested as a child and pregnacy,labor and birth were wonderful because of Dr Leclaire's easy way of guiding me through it all. I also used her tapes which I ordered from back of book.They worked like a charm. I recommend this to all pregnant couples. Ellie

Summary: Easy and helpful
Review: This book offered me practical tips to get through what I expected to be a difficult birth. I only read it several weeks before I had my baby, but it worked. I loved the 'anchor' point and my husband did many of the exercises with me, too. I highly recommend this to all pregnant mothers. Best of all, it only took a few minutes a day to use all the advice!
