Blissful Birth

By: Glenn Harrold, Janey Lee Grace

Narrated by: Glenn Harrold, Janey Lee Grace

Following on from Joyful Pregnancy, Blissful Birth is a superb high-quality download by the UK's best-selling audio hypnotherapist, Glenn Harrold, and Janey Lee Grace, co-presenter of the BBC Steve Wright Radio 2 show. Janey is a mother of four young children, author of Imperfectly Natural Baby and Toddler, and the patron of the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers.

Part One is an inspirational recording by Janey Lee Grace, which has two tracks to help you before and after giving birth. On Track 1 Janey offers encouragement and advice (taken from her own personal experience of four natural births) for the last few weeks of pregnancy and explains how to prepare your mind and body for the birth you desire. Much of the pain of labour can be eased by simple visualisation techniques, but Janey offers other practical suggestions too.

Track 2 is to be used post-natally to help you through those first few days and weeks. Janey will give you tips as to how to nurture yourself and your newborn baby naturally.

Part Two also has two tracks to help you before and after giving birth. Both tracks are high-quality hypnotherapy recordings combining powerful clinical hypnotherapy techniques with state-of-the-art digital recording technology. On both tracks you will be guided into a wonderful state of mental and physical relaxation. Track 1 will help you prepare for the final stages of your pregnancy and giving birth, and Track 2 will help you after giving birth. At the end of each recording you will be gently brought back to full waking consciousness with a combination of suggestion and music.

Critic reviews

"I bought this CD late on into my pregnancy and found it really useful....My son is now 9 weeks old and I have listened to the post natal track a number of times and have really enjoyed the chance to take some time out to relax." (Mel, Shropshire, UK)

Works

I used this to prepare for all three of my births and, though my first didn't go as planned, the last two have been truly blissful. There was pain but the breathing exercises totally helped and I felt so strong. Two unmedicated births and this helped so much. It helps if you listen in a similar position to how you plan to labor and if you move during labor, just keep the breathing exercises going, they really help.
