Women are born with the ability to give birth to their babies.

Unfortunately, modern society and the history of fear surrounding birth have a negative affect on how people view labour and that's where 'hypnobirthing' comes into its own.

Hypnobirthing is relevant to all. It is a way of introducing women to the concept of choice surrounding their births. It is a way of changing our pre-existing stories relating to birth, whether it is a process we have already been through or are about to go through.

Hypnobirthing is not just about hypnosis. Equally as important is instilling confidence in the physiology of birth because that provides the foundation upon which everything else is built. So however you're planning on giving birth, you can find it useful to understand the roles our different body parts play in the overall process.

This book will give you the knowledge and the confidence to make the birth choices that are right for you and right for your baby, and to fully enjoy the journey that brings a wonderful new life into this world.

This book covers both the physiology of birth and the practice of hypnobirthing together with beautiful full colour artwork to guide the reader confidently through the birth process.
