Loved this! Great book. Well read too, the author has such a calming voice. Very reassuring and empowering. I listened to it maybe 4 times before I had my baby. I recommended to several friends and ultimately enjoyed the labor process. I was open minded to whatever journey baby and body lead me on. That is the message of the book. To create a mindset where you are not afraid. You got this, you can do it, no matter where your birth story goes. However, things went really well and I was able to go all natural. This book teaches you to listen to your body, your body was made to do this. It’s not too granola, it’s science based- relaxing your mind relaxes your body. It teaches you methods and reassures you repeatedly. You got this! You have to be relaxed so the baby can descend. Overall an amazing book that helped me overcome my fears of labor. My husband and I now have a great memory, which was the goal. I didn’t want a memory of pain or complications. Cant say enough about this book. Thank you Suzy!!

This book was helpful in getting me into a calmer mindset about birth. It was a quick read that emphasised our ability to be prepared for birth with our birth preferences, to make informed choices, and to have a calm birth despite unforeseen circumstances that may arise.

My girlfriend recommended this book to me and let me tell you it is AWESOME! I love how it's written and it has alleviated my fears of labor. This book helps you understand that our bodies were made for this, and that we are strong enough to do this! It also helps you be more aware of how much we take into consideration other people's fears and embed those negative thoughts into our mind. It has helped me and I am really looking forward to labor now !

I bought this book a few weeks before I was due, and it really helped me learn the benefits and importance of staying calm and optimistic about childbirth and through the birthing process. The breathing techniques and other tips are great! While I wouldn’t say I’m a hypnobirthing pro after labor, I would def. say this book is well worth it for anyone looking to have the best birthing experience possible. I’m REALLY glad I read it and like being a part of the online FB community.

3.0 out of 5 stars One big advertisement for their online courses.
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2021
Verified Purchase
I do want to preface this review by saying that I do think this book had some really good guidance and valid points. I don't regret reading it.

That being said, I feel like there were many moments in the book where they referenced their courses that are accessible online. Some of the information in the book wasn't nearly descriptive enough, and suggested various courses for more information. Some topics weren't even covered in the book at all, but were touched on in their online courses. Oh, and did I mention that the courses online are hundreds of dollars?

Bottom line: If you want an intro to hypnobirthing there are plenty of free resources online. If your intention is to use this as a supplement while doing their online courses then go for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Straight-talking, practical and supportive
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 17, 2016

This is my first pregnancy and I have been looking for a hypnobirthing book that I can relate to as I really want a positive and calm birth experience for me, my baby and my husband. I have read another book and various articles that are a bit too on the hippy side for me (and definitely so for my husband!) and have also found these others to be so evangelical about home birth and doing things naturally, that they can feel alienating for someone like me who has been identified as high risk and is therefore going to have my baby in hospital with a recommended early induction. What I absolutely loved about this book is that it is straightforward, plain talking and supportive of birth in all its forms. What really resonated for me was the idea that you cannot fail at birth, and already this has made me feel more confident and relaxed, to the point that I'm looking forward to it rather than feeling apprehensive and anxious about things not going to my ideal plan. The techniques and exercises you can practice and the mindful use of language all feel achievable and like they make perfect sense. You can hear Suzy's reassuring and friendly voice through the pages of this book, and I really liked the way it feels like you're being talked through the birth process by an old friend. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who wants to feel more prepared, empowered and positive about giving birth. Which I now do!

5.0 out of 5 stars The one stop shop to take the fear out of childbirth!
Reviewed in Australia on March 9, 2016
Verified Purchase
I am 33 weeks pregnant. I have been looking for something to help as my first birth whilst considered normal was horrific for me. the midwife was terrible the pain unbearable and I felt it was a horrible experience. Needless to say going into this pregnancy once I started getting horrible fears about labour to the point where I was moody frustrated and snappy all the time! I read articles on the Internet about hypnobirthing I bought another book and read most of it but couldn't get my head around and couldn't travel to attend classes as they are too far from where I live.. it all still seemed impossible... then I came across Suzy's book and from the first page I was hooked. Suzy your book sang to me it makes sense it's so well written it has helped me to erase almost all fear from myself. Since I've read the book even my husband has asked what happened as I am finally now excited and calm and ready to birth my baby. I listen to the affirmations daily I practise the breathing and I know this birth will be different and I'm not even there yet! So for that alone Suzy thank you so much you are making my journey an empowering and happy one and I just wanted to send you all my appreciation thank you

This book gave me the knowledge and skills to approach labour without fear. More than just breathing techniques, this book is filled with detailed information about the birth process itself from the history to the science of it. By demystifying the process it put me in a really good mindset and although my birth experience ended up being nothing like I planned, it was still positive.
Do yourself a favor, stop reading reviews and just buy this book. Read it as many times as you can before you give birth.
