Prepare Well

My husband and I are planning to grow our family this year, and I’ve been eager to learn as much as I can to prepare. This book has been incredibly informative, opening my eyes to so many things I hadn’t even considered. I’m so glad I picked it up and would highly recommend it to any mom-to-be!

Valuable information

This audiobook is a valuable resource for expectant parents seeking a positive and informed approach to childbirth. I recommend it to parents who are looking to gain a deeper understanding of the labor and delivery process, develop a positive mindset and reduce anxiety surrounding childbirth, and also learn practical techniques for coping with labor and managing discomfort.

I Got This Audiobook for My Wife

I recently bought this book for my wife, and I'm so glad I did. It's filled with practical advice and empowering information that can help women navigate the challenges of childbirth. The book emphasizes the importance of the mind-body connection, which I found fascinating.

By understanding how fear and anxiety can affect labor, my wife can stay calm and focused. The book also provides techniques to help her relax and manage pain naturally. I'm confident that this book will help her have a positive and empowering birth experience.

Personal experience and evidence based

Great listen for anyone pregnant. I loved hearing how Melanie's personal experiences took her to Hypnobirthing and her reflections on her two birth stories. I'm a Hypnobirthing teacher myself and this book aligned with what I teach, plus it was an interesting addition to hear about reflexology and post partum practises. I am now intrigued to read her other book on feminine wisdom! Thanks for sharing Mel.

empowered and more confident about the process now

This is an end-to-birth guide, and I feel super-empowered, more prepared with regard to the birthing process. What really resonated with me was how the author married this emotional preparation with practical tools. I appreciated the time spent understanding how fear impacts labor and the options provided for its management. It was a balanced discussion where both hospital and home births were presented without judgment. Although some parts did feel repetitive, I thought it was thorough and easy to understand. I particularly enjoyed the list of questions to ask during pregnancy and labor. The additional resources accessed through Etsy are interesting, although I have not accessed them. I have found this book to be really helpful and preparing me both physically and emotionally for birth. Better prepared and more enthusiastic about the experience.

Perfect Support for My Mom’s Pregnancy Journey

This audiobook has been such a blessing for my mom, who is 47 and expecting a baby. She’s been listening to it overnight as part of her preparation for the birth, and she absolutely loves it. The guidance and calming tone have really helped her feel more confident and at ease about the whole process. It’s become a comforting part of her routine, and she feels more connected to the experience because of it.

Really liked the analogy’s used

A very useful guide to understand how our body is affected by fear and anxiety when conditions aren’t conducive to labour, and what we can do to support ourselves when giving birth.
