Summary: Here's my suggestion for a better alternative
Review: I received these tapes as a Christmas present - at that time I was 16 weeks pregnant. I have used the tapes fairly regularly, even though I have found a few things about them offputting. Nevertheless, I have found them to be helpful in teaching me basic hypnosis techniques. Here are my criticisms. First of all, a male voice doesn't carry the same authoritative clout on a childbirth tape as a female voice. I have a hard time believing that he really understands what he is telling me since there's no way he can ever experience it for himself. Second, he mentions at one point that the listener should "loosen ties and belts". That seemed extremely out of place in that context! I don't know any pregnant women who are in the habit of wearing a tie or a belt! And finally, sometimes his verbal flow is not smooth. This is not a major criticism, but still bears mentioning. (...)

Summary: Relief I needed!
Review: I used this tape starting late in my pregnancy with great results. I was very relaxed through my labor and although I wouldn't say it was pain-free I think that it really helped to relax me. I would recommend it to anyone- just start early in your pregnancy.

Summary: Relief I needed!
Review: While I found it difficult to find the time to listen to the tape without one of my other children trying to find me...I have no doubt the skills I learned helped me. I had very difficult pregnancies, labors and births. I really thought I was making them worse than they had to be by worrying so much. The tapes really helped to relieve my anxiety. I liked his voice and his methods. There were a couple things I had mental hiccups about...like not thinking of pain when I heard the word labor. I wasn't at all worried when I went in during this last labor and it was fast and easy. Power of prayer, positive thinking and hypnosis!
