Summary
This book will make your birth better. It is for every woman and every type of birth.
As featured on Dragons’ Den.
Expert hypnobirthing teacher and founder of The Positive Birth Company, Siobhan Miller has made it her mission to change the way women around the world approach and experience birth. Through her teaching she seeks to educate and empower women—and their birth partners—so that they can enjoy amazing and positive birth experiences, however they choose to bring their babies into the world.
In this book, Siobhan debunks common myths about hypnobirthing and explains why she believes it can make every type of birth a better experience—from a water birth at home to an unplanned caesarean in theatre.
So, what is hypnobirthing? Essentially, it's a form of antenatal education, an approach to birth that is both evidence-based and logical. Hypnobirthing certainly doesn't involve being hypnotised; instead, it teaches you how your body works on a muscular and hormonal level when in labour and how you can use various relaxation techniques to ensure you are working with your body (rather than against it), making birth more efficient and comfortable.
Siobhan's advice and guidance will change your mindset and enable you to navigate your birth with practical tools that ensure you feel calm and in control throughout.
By the time you finish this book you'll feel relaxed, capable and genuinely excited about giving birth.
Critic reviews
"Siobhan manages to completely demystify hypnobirthing, making it accessible and relevant to all women and all births. This book will be a complete game changer and I will be recommending it to mums-to-be from now on." (Sarah Turner, author of The Unmumsy Mum)

Up to the point
I like how practical and condensed this is, really good guide when compared to other books talking too much about benefits of hypnobirthing and not giving much guidance to follow.

Informative and useful
I now understand more about birthing and what my preferences are for when it happens. A very useful read for a first time mum.

Felt a bit patronising
My friend recommended this book but I didn’t love it. The tone and some of content felt a bit patronising - I never want to heat the BRAIN acronym ever again. I also had to stop listening for a while and pick back up as it actually made me more anxious!

Great preparation for labour
I'd recommend this book to any woman who is pregnant and is feeling apprehensive about birth. The tools in this book helped me to prepare for labour in the practical sense e g. what to pack in the birth bag, but more importantly to give me the information and tools I needed to be able to think about and prepare the environment I would be giving birth in. This made me feel calm and ready going into labour which I'm very thankful for.

Interesting but repetitive
Really interesting and learned a lot, however it’s very very repetitive, which gets a bit dull and meant that I zoned out a bit on some bits. Repeats things like how to set the space and what the birth parter needs to provide etc.

Great read for mums to be!
Found Siobhan’s voice really soothing and calming. At the end of the book, I felt empowered and ready to face the upcoming birth of my baby. At the end of each chapter there is a ‘positive birth story’, which helps to apply what you have learnt in the chapter. Would recommend and lots of good takeaways.

I loved this book
All about it is great. It's the most useful birthing book I've read so far. I tried the techniques during an examination and they absolutely worked. I'm looking forward to having my baby and practice what I've learnt.

A must read if you’re expecting!
If you’ve never heard of hypnobirthing, or have a fixed idea of what it is. I challenge you to listen/read this book and not feel differently.
It is anxiety reducing and gives you practical ways to make your birth experience better.
If you read it with and open mind I don’t see how It wouldn’t be beneficial to you.
