I would highly recommend hypnobirthing. I took part in some classes before the births of both my children. Despite the very different birthing experiences, I was able to use hypnobirthing to help me through it, both times. I saw Zoe Donkin at the Hypnobirthing Place. http://www.hypnobirthingplace.co.uk/ She was fantastic. Very calming and really listens to you and what is going to help you in your pregnancy and labour. Nothing is taboo! I felt able to take the tools I learned in Zoe?s classes and put them to use during pregnancy and then in my labour. For me, hypnobirthing helped me in a difficult first labour, and helped to empower me for a different experience in my second. Can?t recommend high enough!
