About this listen

HypnoBirthing has gained momentum around the globe as a positive and empowering method of childbirth. Here's why: HypnoBirthing helps women to become empowered by developing an awareness of the instinctive birthing capability of their bodies. It greatly reduces the pain of labor and childbirth; frequently eliminates the need for drugs; reduces the need for caesarian surgery or other doctor-controlled birth interventions; and it also shortens birthing and recovery time, allowing for better and earlier bonding with the baby, which has been proven to be vital to the mother-child bond. What's more, parents report their infants sleep better and feed more easily when they haven't experienced birth trauma.

HypnoBirthing founder Marie Mongan knows from her own four births that it is not necessary for childbirth to be a terribly painful experience. In this audiobook, she shows women how the Mongan Method works and how parents can take control of the greatest and most important event of their lives.

So, why is birth such a traumatic event for so many women? And why do more than 40 percent of births now end in caesarian section, the highest percentage in history? The answer is simple: because our culture teaches women to fear birth as a painful and unsettling experience. Fear causes three physical reactions in the body - tightening of the muscles, reduced blood flow to the birthing muscles, and the release of certain hormones - which increase the pain and discomfort of childbirth. This is not hocus-pocus - this is science.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Protecting Your Right to Birth Naturally

As recently retired Midwife with more than 40 years of Clinical Practice in hospitals, now more than ever before parents need to understand clearly the deviations from Natural Birthing that will be offered to them. Marie Mongan has created a wonderful philosophy and childbirth preparation program.
Such an important read!

The best preparation for birth

Are you scared or intimidated by the idea of giving birth? Yes so was I. Until I got to read and listen to this book. everything made so much sense and resonated with me on a very deep level. I am in love with the content and the teachings of this book and the thought of giving birth. I turned my fear into pure excitement of giving birth - My body's ability of giving birth naturally. I immediately enrolled into a Hypnobirthing birth class with my partner too. I can only highly recommend this to anyone who is pregnant!!!
