HypnoBirthing is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a calm, relaxing and stress free way of giving birth. This wonderful program teaches prospective parents breathing techniques, deep relaxation, visualizations, glove anaesthesia and self-hypnosis for a more gentle and natural experience of birthing.
With over 30 years experience Amanda Gwynne offers hypnoBirthing, baby massage, babymooning, bespoke antenatal education, and natural fertility workshops throughout the UK. You can listen to 30 second clips of her three-part CD online at: www.mama2b.com/hypnobirthing

Review by Ariane (TIPS Parent Tester)
The idea of Hypnobirthing is to have a safe, easier, more comfortable birth.
I have only listened to the CD a few times so far but already feel more confident about the labour. It makes you see it in a completely different way and actually look forward to it.
There are 3 parts to this CD.
Part 1 is for the first trimester, and mainly helps with getting through the difficult morning sickness and tiredness stage.
Part 2 is for the second trimester, and deals with getting to know your baby as it grows inside you and understand your feelings about labour.
Part 3 is for the third trimester, and deals with tiredness and labour, as well as helping you to feel confident about how you will be after the baby comes.
I am currently on part 2, and can’t wait to get on to part 3 (one more week to go!). I am much more relaxed and less worried about how labour is going to be, and almost looking forward to it. I’m sure given another few weeks I will be looking forward to it completely.
It’s great listening to it first thing in the morning as it helps you focus on the day ahead, and feel calmer and more relaxed about pregnancy in general.
I will definitely keep on listening to this and hopefully this will result in a positive labour experience.
