Your Baby, Your Birth: Hypnobirthing Skills For Every Birth

Reviews

Emma Wilson

All makes perfect logical sense (not new age or airy fairy) but you're likely to be totally unaware of this information when giving birth unless you happen to come across Hollie's book. Hollie shows how pregnancy your way, with a calm and informed attitude, can prepare you fully for motherhood and the journey that continues after birth. It’ll make sense, I promise. Every pregnant woman should read this book.

I actually bought this book very late in my pregnancy as I had not heard much about hypnobirthing from healthcare providers. Having the science of the hormones involved and making the best use of your nervous system during birth has helped to remove a lot of the fear I had about birth. So insightful with great advice that's practical and easy to follow. So whilst I did not have a chance to practice during my pregnancy - I am still so glad I found it, it is a game changer.

I've read this book in a week and it makes a lot of sense. The author, Hollie, shares her own experience of how hypnobirthing changed her pregnancy into something beautiful and anticipated, rather than scary and messy.

Reading this book taught me so much about how little things, like breathing techniques, can have a massive impact on your labour. There’s ideas for soft massages for mum, ways that the birth partner can support and be a part of the big day and skills for creating a nest in your environment so that you’re as comfy as possible while giving birth. The book gives practical pieces of advice on how to use helpful breathing techniques throughout pregnancy and birth, as well as notes of affirmations to encourage you.

The Honest Reviewer

I don’t think it looked like that outwardly, I distinctly remember feeling like a wild animal whilst going through transition, but it had purpose. After my first birth, I was adamant to have a better experience second time around.

I however, was at total ease during the whole process. I planned a natural, water birth at the hospital with no intervention or pain killers and thanks to this book was completely at ease about the whole thing. I was intrigued when I originally heard of hypnobirthing while reading ‘Dare to dream’ by Izzy Judd. Don’t be put off by the word hypnobirthing - it’s nothing weird or hippy, it’s just tuning in to what your body already knows how to do naturally.

A few of them even flicked through the book and were loving it, mentioning that every pregnant woman should read it! Loved this book. The midwives who looked after us were in aw of how calm I was the whole time.
