Overview
The techniques described in the book - self-hypnosis, visualisation, different breathing methods and the use of colours for healing and relaxation - are life-long learning processes that have had proven results. The book also contains a free CD, containing a self-hypnosis programme for the mother-to-be to listen to on a daily basis in the weeks leading up to the birth. This book is also for the birth partner - by using the techniques described they are enabled to maintain the self-hypnosis in the mother-to-be during the birth process. By reading this book and listening to the CD you will be empowered to: * Enjoy your pregnancy, having all the energy you need to do all that you have to do * Have a wonderful birth experience, being relaxed and in control, working with your body and allowing your muscles and skin to stretch easily and naturally in a pain-free way * Promote your own rapid healing and recovery * Bond easily with your baby, enjoy breastfeeding (if you choose to do this) and be confident in your abilities as a mother * Get back to pre-pregnancy weight, shape and dimensions very soon after the birth.

Reviews
As a GP with an interest in hypnotherapy I found this a fascinating book. I was fortunate to benefit from Paola's teaching and her clear communication skills make this an easy read. Techniques she describes and teaches could benefit expectant mums both during pregnancy and beyond. Dr Robert Overton, MBBS DRCOG This book by Paola Bagnall is a very comprehensive and easy approach to the use of self-hypnosis in childbirth. The book will take you through all the tips that you need to know for a safe and natural birth. It will also give you an insight into pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period, and how hypnosis can help you in those different stages. Lucia Montesinos, Midwife, expert in homebirths A most useful guide that can help mothers-to-be to have an easier and pleasantly memorable birthing experience. David R Hamilton PhD author of many books including How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body The breathing techniques that Paola shares with you in this book are simply invaluable. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. She provides you with a large number of self-hypnosis scripts to help and suit every individual no matter what their experience, a wonderful CD that works effectively and efficiently - and much, much more. This book enables you to acquire skills not just for birth but for life. Elliott Wald, Hypnosis expert, television and media hypnotist, author and speaker Paola Bagnall's method is revolutionary. It transformed my second pregnancy from dread to joyful anticipation and gave me a wonderful natural childbirth. Her empowering approach gives control of the birth process back to women, and minimises the need for medical intervention and pain relief. Emma Johnson - a Hypnobirthing mum As one of the first mothers who were prepared by Paola for a birth without any invasive pain-relief, I can say hypnobirthing worked amazingly well. I have no memory of pain but only that of a very enjoyable event. Juliane Horn - a Hypnobirthing mum In this modern technology-driven age it's a relief to have straight forward, practical and reassuring advice on childbirth, and it works! I am so grateful to Paola Bagnall and her techniques for helping me to experience two wonderful and natural births. Sarah Findell - a Hypnobirthing mum
