has any one else had hypnobirthing?

[claireo]

there are hypnobirthing birth videos on youtube. if you want to know what its like maybe check some of them out. you'll see pretty much all the women are calm and almost silent. there's no screaming or panic, it looks like a great way to give birth and im really excited about it.

it helps out with alot of other things aswell. if your feeling really anxious or upset even just doing the relaxing techniques/breathing really do help. my mw says its a great thing to learn for even after the baby is born

^^ I spoke to a mum the other day who did the hypnobirthing course but ended up having to have a planned c-section. She said she didnt regret doing the course at all because the relaxation etc which she learned, she used during the c-section to stay calm and manage her fear.

^^^This is true - when my LO was breech and there was talk of sections the teacher told me that they techniques can be used even in those circumstances

I'm really interested in hypnobirthing-I didn't do it with DD but her birth was very calm and quiet x my mum and sister (birth partners) said afterwards how amazed they were but I think my mw had some knowledge of hypnobirthing as she used alot of the techniques/phrases that I've been reading about so I was lucky I guess x I'm definatly going to invest in the books x tiny let us know how the dads one is please! x x x
