This book was a great introduction to the concept of hypnosis for childbirth pain control. It was my first exposure to the idea, and it sold me on it! This book made me believe I too could do a natural unmedicated childbirth. However, even though I listened to the CD and read the book, I felt I did not have enough tools to figure out how to make it happen. I yearned for a program to follow or a training method that this book did not offer. I eventually ordered and used the HypnoBabies Home study program.
