Summary: Not what I had hoped for...
Review: Everything that was helpful in this book could've been condensed into one chapter. I was disappointed that the first 7 chapters were nothing but fluff. There's a lot of religious references, biblical quotations, typos and statements like this: "The grand mechanisms thrusting themselves upon our lives and our birthing are merely a greater masking of the bleeding into the nuclei." If you think that doesn't make sense simply because I took it out of context, think again. It's nothing but fluff. I was greatly disappointed.

Review: HYPNOBirthing the Leclaire Method---Wehad heard about it too late to attend a class. WE both read the book and I used the tapes only a few times. I had such a relaxed birth and my husband really learned how to tune in to my needs . Iloved the whole program.We ordered the tapes from the back of the book and we got them promptly --PRIORITY MAIL.I had fear and this program helped me so much that I want to share it with other moms

Review: I highly recommend Dr. Leclaire Oneill s HYPNOBIRTHING program.WE read the book Did all 3 tapes and went to the class.My pregnancy and my labor and birth were truly special and my husband learned how to be truly present for me.Ilet go and relaxed more than I ever dreamed possible. ALL I did was follow the program.As they say It works if you work it. Our sweet little boy Christian Benedict loves to listen to the music tape.I really think he remembers it from pregnancy.

Summary: What a [bad book]
Review: This book is a poorly written [copy] of the true HypnoBirhting(R) method founded by Marie Mongan. I had my second child using Marie Mongan's HypnoBirthing(R) method, and later found this book. I was truly disappointed to have wasted my money looking for some kind of extra enlightenment. Save your money and read HypnoBirthing(R), a Celebration of Life and take the HypnoBirthing classes. It's much more simple, with much less fluff.
