Really helpful and relaxing.

I wish it came with a table of contents and Index to reference back.

a guide

just as the title describes. good inspirational guide, made me wish I lived in the UK though

Loved it!

With most audible books, the voices kind of suck. But if you can get used to that, it is a great book! The voices are just kind of cheesy sounding not robotic or anything. I am planning on using all the tips from this book during my childbirth and I bookmarked all the relaxations and meditations. I think it is going to be really helpful. Very excited.

Read differently

I would've preferred a woman reading the audio. The way I see it there's absolutely no way a man can comprehend what we women go through. However I did enjoy the book

Informative and Helpful

This is the best childbirth education book I have read so far. Its packed with information without being overwhelming. It is written intelligently without being too wordy and while being understandable. Some programs Ive found to be and numbingly boring and repetitive but this one is to the point and gives you the information you need to have a well informed natural birth.

Wonderful instructions, information, visualizations, and more

The visualizations were very effective. I will listen to this book at least two more times. It answered all of my questions and absolutely confirmed my desire to give birth in the most natural way possible. I know for sure I can do this and am saddened that so many woman won’t ever know this or do the research needed to undo the fear mainstream medicine has instilled in us that birth is the big scary and painful problem you must endure in order to get to the next step...

Very helpful

Listened to this prior to giving birth to my son and found it helped me relax when trying to fall asleep in the third trimester.

great read

great book. I liked the guided imagery parts the most. wished there was more of that. the author quotes lots of research and evidence for her claims which make her arguments credible and just make sense. it gave me a lot of confidence going into childbirth. highly recommend!

Great Book! Time to Practice!

I felt the audiobook was a great format for this book. The narrator is a man, but I found his voice to be soothing. However, I appreciated that the meditations were done by a woman. The bulk of the book is centered around stopping the fear surrounding childbirth. They achieve this through education. Thus, the book was like a mobile birthing class. The one downside is that the book's content is based in Europe and they operate slightly differently than we do. Nevertheless, the principles are the same. Another downside was that I had to manually take notes of which chapters had meditations at the end of them, which meditations were recommended for daily use, and which chapters were only a meditation. Once this was noted, I felt the helpfulness of this audiobook increased in folds. I hope you find this book as helpful as I did for preparing for an upcoming labor.

Why would you have a man narrate a birthing book?

Seriously, why? The last thing I want to hear is another old man telling me how to have a baby. It’s superficial, but it changes the experience of the book.
