This CD did not live up to my expectations. It was the first CD that I bought to learn about hynobirthing and thought it would give me instructions on how to have an easy hypnotic birth, as the title indicates. But it's just a CD that deals with relaxation only, with odd comments like "I am aware of you breasts, I am aware of your purpose now"...and..."I acknowledge you right arm, different from my left arm". What really annoys me is that at the very end of the CD, she says: "The CD's in `The Hypnobirthing Bundle for Happy Hypnomoms and Blissful Hypnobabies' are very different from this. And they address different issues of pregnancy, labour, birth and postpartum. And they offer effective learning techniques." I realized at that moment that I had wasted my money on a CD that was only for relaxation. I had no clue there was a book by this person as well, and that it's content would be what I was looking for. Amazon.com should give an overview of what you are buying. I based my purchase decision on the name of the CD and the one customer review. The voice on the CD is very relaxing, but after listening to it I still had no clue what to do in the labour room. I bought Marie Mongan's hypnobirthing book that comes with a CD that has two tracks on it (not just one) and was much more satisfied. I now know what Hypnotic birthing is all about.

This CD was definitely relaxing, but if what you're after is a CD to get you through pregnancy and a natural childbirth, definitely invest in another "system" - Hypnobabies, Hypnobirthing etc. This isn't worth the price as it ended up in the back of the CD collection.

Iused this throughout my entire pregnancy. At first I just felt relaxed,hopeful and convinced I could accept pregnancy,labor and birth easily while I was listening, Then I began to feel confident even when not in an hypnotic state. Eventually I felt calm ,centered ,energized and comfortable in all areas of my life. I had a wonderful pregnancy and an easylabor and birth. It really helped at a deep level. I highly recommend this whether you are preparing for a c section,epidural or a natural birth. I actually used the whole program. The Leclaire Hypnobirthing Bundle For Happy Hypnomoms And Blissful Hypnobabies. It is truly a gift of wellbeing

My primary reason for reading this author's book "Hypnobirthing: The Original Method" was to address some anxiety I had about giving birth - I was frightened about the prospect of the severe pain involved and it was my first child. Not only is this book filled with all the latest applications and philosophies of mind/body medicine, but there is also THIS CD that comes with it and it is very soothing and relaxing, and it helped me truly apply the techniques in the book. After following Dr. Leclaire Oneill's method, I felt confident, strong, and relaxed right after my water broke and throughout my 6 hour labor! In fact, I actually did NOT have an epidural and my husband was able to remain calm and assist me - because I made HIM read the book too! I then gave the book to my sister-in-law who used the method with her 3rd pregnancy, and she said, "I wish I had known about this with the first one!"

This CD along with the author's 'Hypnobirthing-The Original Method" was of immense value to me, my husband and the 2 sons I gave birth to using Dr. O'Neill's book and audio CDs. I was able to have a stress-free and pain-free birth without an epidural and I think that's unbelievably amazing coming from someone who was very scared and nervous about her first pregnancy. My husband said it was the perfect 'bonding tool' for us, as he knew virtually nothing about childbirth at the start, but it made us both communicate, he related to me more...and because we shared it together, he felt more bonded with our son from the beginning. I highly recommend this author's books and audio CD's.

Wow. I really had no idea about what hypnobirthing was, in fact, I had many misconceptions about what hypnosis was in general. After having a very rough first pregnancy (nausea for 8 MONTHS), I wasn't sure I wanted to have more children because the experience was horrific and I was in and out of the hospital often for dehydration and couldn't keep food down. A friend of my sister recommended the, "Hypnobirthing: The Original Method" book to me. When you buy one CD, you get another one free and so I bought this 'Creating Comfort Within' CD and got the 'Labor' CD for free. After reading the book and listening to the CD's, I felt more confident and excited about getting pregnant again. When I eventually did get pregnant - I religiously practiced all of the excercises in the book and regularly listened to the CD...I even got my husband on board! Being pregnant with my second child, I had very minimal nausea for the first 8 weeks and then it was smooth sailing from there. I was happy, joyful, positive, and actually enjoyed being pregnant. I would recommend this program to women who have had difficulties in the past and/or if you are fearful or anxious about the 'big day'. My husband even said that listening to the CDs with me really gave him a new persepctive and appreciation of the miracle of pregnancy and childbirth - and it helped him be calm and collected in the delivery room. I truly believe now in the power of the MIND over the BODY.

I am a fan of this author's work and I have used her method's TWICE now. It's more than just relaxation, but a way of truly connecting one's body and mind. I felt that several of this author's books and cd's helped me and my husband approach the birth of our children in a very deep and connected way. Recent article on this author:
