Product Description
Birthing through hypnosis is a Lamaze program for the 21st century. With this method, women use self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques during labor, eliminating much of the fear and tension that lead to pain. Better Birthing With Hypnosis introduces a new method of childbirth developed by the author to help mothers-to-be experience this sensation in a calm, joyous, and pain-free manner. It also provides a safe and peaceful entry into the world for the baby.

 Not bad, not great. December 18, 2006

This book was a bit content poor when it comes to actual self-hypnosis techniques. Honestly, just check it out from the library and photocopy the 10 pages of useful guided imagery scripts and return it. I have practiced meditation and "mindfulness" in the past but I found the book to be a bit much on the touchy-feely, new-agey scale. If you're prone to pregnancy paranoia this book will definitely bring it on as it stresses that EVERYTHING you DO, THINK and FEEL has an impact on the unborn (or, as the book calls it, the "uborn") fetus. After reading this last bit it made me feel like the book thought that if I had a particularly stressful day at work I was being a bad parent. It is also chock full of "Case Studies" showing how your unexamined feelings are all ready screwing up your child. Whatever. One thing that was nice about the book was that it didn't waste a lot of time discussing how you should put your foot down about how you don't want all these interventions that nobody does anymore anyway (i.e. enemas, pubic shaves, routine IVs) unless you have a 60 year old male gyno in a rural hospital. So, bottom line, read the meditation portions, skip the rest.

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.

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.

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

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.
