Difficult to follow
I thought an audiobook would be best for this type of practice however in this format I'm finding it difficult to follow. There is no accompanying document to set out which chapter contain which exercises, and no introduction title to the additional material. I've not yet been able to find the tracks for the three main techniques that the author recommends are practiced three times a week! There are a lot of chapters but the content of these could be put more succinctly,after all the only way to 'achieve' mindfulness is by practice...which I can't do with the audiobook as I can't find the relevant tracks!

Can’t find tracks
Does anyone know how to find the 3 tracks she mentions here? It states that there’s 3 mp3s to listen to but I can’t find them anywhere easily??

Just perfect for birth preparation
A book read by the author who has the most relaxing voice.
Genuine practical information and advice which suits my no nonsense attitude. Although I do struggle with affirmations.
The author will email you the audio downloads if you contact her through FB.
All around thoroughly recommended.

thoroughly recommend, full of tracks to listen to
Sophie has a lovely voice and throughout the book there are little relaxation tracks to help guide you to the right mindset. I liked the explanations of how and why mindful hypnosis is effective for birthing and the stories from other parents were inspiring and reassuring. I listen in the bath regularly and at bedtime and am on my third or fourth repeat fo the book now waiting for baby number 2's arrival.
There are 3 free tracks to download from the website she mentions throughout - my only criticism is the address has changed from what she says, but good old Google managed to find it for me if you search her name and the book title - as well as hypnosis tracks from chapters 17 onwards in the audiobook itself for quicker access (try bookmarking and naming them so you remember what each one is about.)

very confusing and difficult to follow
I am not sure what the takeaway from the book is. So far I have listened to over 2/3rds of the book but I'm still confused about what to do when actually faced with tough situations. I tried to make notes but its not useful as there are no guidelines from author about what is imp to note. I am a first time mother and have no idea what to expect. Only thing I understood so far is how to relax and its "1,2,3 ,relax relax relax" thats it. Apart from this I don't know what else to do.
Its just like listening to a long story about what happens, surverys, other birth expereinces .. which is all already available on so many blogs/youtubes these days. I am very confused about what to do. Do I just listen? But how to remember?
Even medicial options available at the time of labor have been disussed but I think I slept through most of the info as it was again another long story format. No real structure to the audible. Writer also says to losten to this book often in later stages of pregnancy but its over 10 hrs long and seems like I'm barely going to finish it once just in time. Info is all over the place, I have no idea what actually to use from the book.
I think a better structured book would have made my life easier with specific sections on troubleshooting pains, options, plans, who to talk to, point of contacts, meditations, hypnobirthing techniques(as this is the most imp part and I have no idea when did the writer talk about this!! I have covered around 7 hours of listening now, though I have a vague idea that when she talked about imagining favorite place, thats when she was talking about hypnobirthing!)
Before getting the book I had a notion that I will be fully prepared and calm about my labour but after lsitening to it I realised that I'm even more confused. My biggest pain is that I have to guess what is imp and what is not. Very Disappointed

Too confusing to follow
The excersizes aren't in any sort of chapter format and there are too many to follow properly. I wouldn't recommend.

Highly recommend!
As a first time mum with a low pain threshold I was petrified to give birth but didn’t want a medicalised birth so thought I’d try this book and I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough! I felt so much calmer and mentally prepared leading up to my due date after listening to it for a few weeks. I had the meditation tracks playing throughout my labour which was amazing as it helped me to focus on my breathing through contractions and I genuinely feel it helped to minimise my pain during a natural birth that I never thought I was capable of doing. 100% recommend this book to everyone.

Reading voice is not helping with hypnosis at all
The voice is annoying and clicking. Ruins the idea of the whole book. Didn’t feel like learning much, waiting to get to the point!

Good calming listen
One book you won’t want to speed up. Recommend this book for a positive birth mentality and general life
