The "Pregnancy Relaxation CD" will help mums to: increase your energy and feelings of well being; get an improved sleep; maintain a healthy blood pressure; reduce, even eliminate aches and pains; increase communication with your baby; maintain a feeling of calm and relaxation; and, learn techniques that will help with giving birth. If you are a lucky mum-to-be of more than one baby, you may sometimes feel a bit left out as most books and information refer to "mother and baby" as opposed to mother and babies! As a result, and based on feedback from mothers who have used our regular CDs, we have re-made them specifically for mums who have more than one baby. We have 3 CDs specially designed for mums with twins who want to give birth vaginally. The "Natal Hypnotherapy Pregnancy Relaxation CD (Twins edition)" provides mums with a gentle way to develop their own relaxation skills to learn effective breathing techniques and to become more focussed on having a positive healthy pregnancy. This "Pregnancy Relaxation CD" is also part of the "Natal Hypnotherapy Programme for TWINS" which won the "Pregnancy Product of the Year" and also voted for Practical Parenting's editor's award. When to listen to the "Pregnancy Relaxation TWINS CD"? From conception through to 32 weeks, 2-3 times per week. How the "Pregnancy Relaxation TWINS CD" works? This deeply relaxing CD can be used at any time of your pregnancy and is a wonderful antidote to the regular stresses and strains of normal life, let alone when you are pregnant! The deep relaxation techniques, guided visualization and positive suggestions ensure you have a more comfortable and enjoyable pregnancy.

Review
"I received my CD today, just tried it and I love it. They are not selling any as good as yours on this side of the pond! The first pregnancy relaxation recording I listened to was in my birthing class and it was from Canada. The woman on the recording had a wonderful tone, but I don't remember noticing her accent. I really loved that recording, but it was only available on tape. My husband is a technology lover, so we only have CD players. The CD's I sampled off of Amazon.com mainly had really bad music and got really bad reviews. They did not seem very thorough. What initially attracted me to your CD is that I DIDN'T notice the music. I also like that you touch on pregnancy, labor, a connection with the baby, and after... I think all of those things come together to compound our fear of labor, not just the pain. I sampled many CDs, including ones created by midwives, and I don't know why there is not a quality CD on the market here in the US." Angie Flanagan, 09/20/2004, 16:07 h

About the Author
Maggie Howell Founder of Natal Hypnotherapy Having learnt self-hypnosis while pregnant, to help with the birth of her first child, Maggie Howell went on to give birth to her eldest son, Joseph, at home in a relaxed and comfortable environment: "When Maggie first mentioned that she was going to use self-hypnosis for her first labour, I was sceptical as to whether she would be able to achieve this. During her labour I was happy to be proved wrong. Her ability to remain relaxed, totally in control, yet fully communicative throughout the experience was impressive." Judy Aitkin, NHS midwife. Ria Haydon, NHS midwife agrees: "Maggie's demeanour was calm. She appeared to be 'sleeping' during most of her contractions, breathing slightly more deeply as they peaked. She used no pharmacological methods of pain relief and conducted her labour and delivery entirely under self-hypnosis. She appeared to experience no pain and very little discomfort throughout." The midwives were so impressed with the effects that they asked Maggie to talk to local antenatal clinics about her experiences. Maggie then decided to give up a successful career in the events and conference industry and train to be a Clinical Hypnotherapist. The aim then, and now, was to use the power of hypnosis to help women overcome their fear of birth and enable them to be more in control and manage the physical sensations involved in child birth. Maggie developed the Natal Hypnotherapy CDs as a result of her research and hypnotherapy work with individual mothers and antenatal groups. She has since used the techniques herself for the births of her second and third son. Maggie is a Doula (trained birth companion) and currently works with midwives, antenatal groups and hospitals running workshops and classes. She also runs 'effective birth preparation' courses for couples teaching them how to use hypnosis for an instinctive birth as well as training workshops for birth professionals.
