Title: Didn't help much
Product review: I used the hypnobirthing method with my daughter, and unfortunately it didn't work for me. I practiced with the CDs my entire pregnancy, and they did help me sleep better and to relax. I slept great almost my whole pregnancy, and I do give credit to the CDs for that. I even hired a doula, who got certified in Hypnobirthing in time for my delivery, but I didn't really feel that it was very helpful once my labor started. When my contractions started, they were painful. The book refers to "pressure" but I definitely felt pain. I tried listening to the CDs, getting on the birthing ball, and doing some meditation, but nothing made it more comfortable. For me, labor hurt! It went downhill from there. Severe pain in the hospital so I requested an epidural, ended up getting pitocin, and then finally delivered via C-section. Now with my second child, I am considering a VBAC and looking into Hypnobabies, which I hear prepares you much better.
