Product Description

The GOLD Standard in Childbirth Hypnosis - Hypnobabies: Eyes Open Childbirth Hypnosis. Our 5 week Hypnobabies Home Study Course for Expectant Mothers is an *advanced* Childbirth Hypnosis course, and is for women who want to ENJOY their baby's natural birth by using hypnosis to eliminate pain and fear. Designed for moms who cannot attend a Hypnobabies Class or want to study on their own, Hypnobabies provides hypnosis tracks and extensive educational materials to prepare for a much easier and more comfortable birth. Hypnobabies is based on Master Hypnotist Gerald Kein's Painless Childbirth Program and is extremely successful. It is the only childbirth hypnosis program that teaches you "Eyes Open Childbirth Hypnosis", allowing full mobility during labor *without losing focus*, so you can remain deeply in hypnosis, relaxed and physically comfortable throughout. This enables you to use upright positions for descent and positioning of your baby. Be prepared to learn self-hypnosis techniques which you will practice on a daily basis until your baby is born, which is such and easy and naturally enjoyable daily routine! Hypnobabies is also a 5 week COMPLETE childbirth education course, with a Nutritional Program, Pre-natal Exercises, Birth Plan, Optimal Fetal Positioning, Avoiding Back Labor, Anatomy and Physiology, Birthing Choices, Comfort and Safety in Pregnancy, Consumer Issues, Staying Healthy and Low Risk, "Change of Plans" hypnosis, and much more. Using your Hypnobabies Workbook, CDs and hypnosis cues, you deeply train your inner mind that contractions in labor are felt as pressure, stretching, pushing and baby movement sensations. Hypnobabies uses the same kind of hypnosis techniques that people employ when preparing for surgery without any medication - Hypno-Anesthesia. Birth Partners learn how to fully and easily support you during labor, although Hypnobabies is also used very successfully by single mothers. You need 5 weeks to complete this course. Enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Hypnobabies is good, but not perfect December 27, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this course because I really wanted an unmedicated labor and I needed reassurance and confidence that I could get through it since it was my first child. This course really helped me to feel confident enough to get through the whole thing without any fear whatsoever, but I had no interest in using the Hypnobabies techniques during my labor because it was much easier for me to relax when I didn't listen to anything or anyone.

For confidence, Hypnobabies is great. However, I don't want women to think that the only way they can get the labor they want is with Hypnobabies. In reality, I didn't need to buy this kit in order to avoid an epidural. I don't think it really made my drug-free labor possible, but it may have helped. I followed the course faithfully and practiced regularly, but my labor was not pain-free. Hypnobabies never attempts to tell you that back labor with a posterior baby is pain-free. Instead, it tells you techniques to get the baby turned around. Unfortunately, none of those techniques got my baby turned, even with a doula helping. I don't blame Hypnobabies for this. My baby was just too low to be turned. I can honestly say I felt no pain at all in my belly for the entire 8 hours of my labor, but I felt such strong pressure on my back that the only thing that helped was counterpressure. Luckily I had a good husband and doula to push on my back and knees for 5 hours straight.

My biggest complaint about Hypnobabies is the way the handbook is written. It's extremely unprofessional and I had a hard time taking it seriously. Everything is underlined, asterisked, capitalized, bolded, and exclamation-marked. I almost wished I could write them a letter asking if I could rewrite it for them. It also had a lot of filler that you can find in just about any book on labor. After I had my baby, I took the important parts and wrote it up for future reference, which ended up being about 2 pages long.

So, buy this if you need confidence and reassurance, but don't expect a professionally made course on hypnosis. Also, don't worry about the price because Hypnobabies will buy the course back from you for $75-$85, even if you buy it through Amazon.

UPDATE: Hypnobabies no longer buys it back, but the resale value is still high through other sources.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best decision we ever made! November 7, 2008
During my first pregnancy I took a live class from a different hypnosis for birth program, and was very disappointed. So I really did my research into all the available options before investing in the Hypnobabies Home Study. In my opinion, it is so far above and beyond anything else available on the market that it is in a category all its own. The Hypnobabies Home Study is amazingly complete, easy to learn and use, and resulted in an amazingly enjoyable birth! The natural childbirth information is invaluable and the self-hypnosis skills have been life-changing. They worked powerfully during my baby's birth and I have discovered many wonderful ways to use them daily since then. They are excellent birth and pregnancy skills, but also life skills that I use to eliminate stress, improve my sleep and handle daily discomforts for me and my family. My husband loved the fact that even though his schedule didn't allow him to be very involved in my preparation for the birth, he was able to quickly learn very effective and simple ways to play a huge role in my comfort during our natural birth. During the birth, my caregivers were amazed by how calm, happy and interactive I was. They nearly sent me home because I was "too happy to really be in labor". They realized their mistake moments later when they discovered I was fully dilated and ready to birth my baby! They now recommend Hypnobabies to all their moms who are interested in having a truly comfortable, enjoyable birth. It's amazing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Would never have another baby without it November 17, 2008
After 3 medicated births that were not what I wanted out of my birth experience I did some major research for my fourth baby. I found Hypnobabies and ordered the home study course. WOW!!! What a difference. I felt so in control and empowered. I had a pain free birth that was more than I could have dreamed for. In fact my husband who is an OB/GYN and has seen hundreds of births said, "I didn't know childbirth could be like this." I make sure I tell everybody I know about Hypnobabies because I know what an amazing birth experience it gives to Moms and their babies. I don't think there is a better gift to your baby than being able to bring it into the world gently and joyfully without any drugs in their system. It's a gift I'm thankful for everyday
