I just read the book and hubby read the visualisations during labour, obv it would be better to do a course to get all the ins and outs etc but it worked for me, twice, two smooth labours, no pain relief, both water births, one home one in a midwife led birth centre (in fact they didn't believe I was actually in labour when we turned up as I was "too calm" they wanted to send me home until I insisted they check... I was 8cm. For me it went well doing what we did.
I listened to the Natal Hypnotherapy Programme (for Hospital or Birth Centre): A Self Hypnosis CD Programme for a Better Pregnancy and Birth Experience (Maggie Howell). It really helped me prepare for labour and got me through the contractions - I'd definitely recommend! I started listening from 37 weeks so you've still got time to get in the zone.

It is a great idea to get the Marie Mongan HypnoBirthing book. Fantastic that you've got the offer of one on loan.

If you would like to have a chat with me about 1:1 sessions at this stage of your pregnancy I would be delighted to speak to you. I often see mums at 37 weeks. You'll find me easily on line. You can also listen to a lovely soothing piece of hypnosis on my bounce back hypnosis website. It's called Cove of Calm. Every little helps. Congratulations! You will be meeting your wee baby face to face soon :-)

It's never too late sb. I'f you haven't already got the Mongan book I'd suggest picking up a copy of The Hypnobirthing Book by Katharine Graves instead - having used both I'd say it's better geared towards birth in the UK. If I can be of any help please do drop me a line. My advice would be to expose yourself to as many positive birth stories/videos as possible. There are lots of hypnobirths on YouTube and you can read lots of birth stories written by mums on my website http://londonhypnobirthing.co.uk/birthstories.html


If you follow me on Twitter @lovelybirths or on Facebook at London Hypnobirthing then you can get a daily positive affirmation for pregnancy and birth. You can save these on your phone/stick them in your diary etc. so that your subconscious mind is being filled with positive visions of birth.


Wishing you all the best for a wonderful second birth x

    • Very happy to add my recommendation for Leon, who has now helped me out twice. Prompt, efficient and helpful.
    • Today we are seeing the impact of increased taxes (employers NI) with tje UK unemployment rate rising  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxrp7znkdlo Unfortunately, to increase tax burdens will see the economy stall or a recession, as Angelina says, cutting spending, whilst painful short term, is a good way to bring down government borrowing.  True, we don't want to see cuts to services but there are other areas of government spending that can be reduced and with AI impacting all jobs across all businesses, maybe it will also reduce overall staffing costs. 
    • or cut costs.  The cost of debt is a huge burden, it cannot be increased.
    • Yes, they should clearly have been more honest on taxes before the election and not backed themselves into a corner. After 14 years of mismanagement and decline, they have to invest and at the same time start to bring borrowing down (otherwise they continues to be at the mercy of the bond markets). Continued cuts / degrading of public services is counter productive (a successful economy and society needs good infrastructure, education and health care).  The single biggest thing they could do to immediately improve growth would be to rejoin the single market, but I appreciate that is difficult politically.  So if you can't significantly boost growth short term, can't cut too much further, and need to raise money without borrowing, that only really leaves taxation.    Of course, where best to target those taxes - that's the real question.
