HypnoBirthing: The Mongan Method, 4th Edition

A Natural Approach to Safer, Easier, More Comfortable Birthing

By: Marie F. Mongan M.Ed. M.Hy.

Narrated by: Eliza Foss

HypnoBirthing has gained momentum around the globe as a positive and empowering method of childbirth. Here's why: HypnoBirthing helps women to become empowered by developing an awareness of the instinctive birthing capability of their bodies. It greatly reduces the pain of labor and childbirth; frequently eliminates the need for drugs; reduces the need for caesarian surgery or other doctor-controlled birth interventions; and it also shortens birthing and recovery time, allowing for better and earlier bonding with the baby, which has been proven to be vital to the mother-child bond. What's more, parents report their infants sleep better and feed more easily when they haven't experienced birth trauma.

HypnoBirthing founder Marie Mongan knows from her own four births that it is not necessary for childbirth to be a terribly painful experience. In this audiobook, she shows women how the Mongan Method works and how parents can take control of the greatest and most important event of their lives.

So, why is birth such a traumatic event for so many women? And why do more than 40 percent of births now end in caesarian section, the highest percentage in history? The answer is simple: because our culture teaches women to fear birth as a painful and unsettling experience. Fear causes three physical reactions in the body - tightening of the muscles, reduced blood flow to the birthing muscles, and the release of certain hormones - which increase the pain and discomfort of childbirth. This is not hocus-pocus - this is science.

Woman are magical!

it's sad to see all the terrible reviews about Marie's course book. Her journey to bring instinctual birthing back to woman is a personal journey meant to inform and inspire others about natural, calm birth and HypnoBirthing techniques.

The book goes hand in hand with the HypnoBirthing birth education course. The program consists of 5 weekly 2.5 hour classes.

Amazing book

Amazing book. But I would recommend that you take a hypnobirthing class too, with a certified hypnobirthing professional to really prepare yourself for birth.

🥰🥰🥰🥰

Beautiful, enlightening, thorough book. Must have hard copy for highlighting!! life changing thought process.

Great book but needs to be supplemented to apply

I enjoyed the book very informative and provides a different angle.
Will need to supplement with other elements such as live instructions videos etc in order to apply.

really great books for hypnobirthing.

I read about 15 or 20 different books on the first year of parenting birth the pregnancy excetera. And this gave an entirely different look at what breathing is. highly recommend :-)

Very informative on natural birth.

I found it a little bias. However I learned a great deal of child birth natural mechanism. Now I can say I know what to expect.

Excellent

5 stars first time mom giving birth at home on 11/7/2020! I’m extremely excited to put use these techniques. This book truly helped my husband and I get closer during this journey to become first time parents.

So thankful

Extraordinarily helpful

The book and the hypnobirthing method is the most positive, encouraging and holistic book my partner and I have read about pregnancy and birth. It is a wonderful tool to navigate pregnancy and birth in an empowered way. I recommend to read it since the beginning of pregnancy or at least 2 months before birthing so mothers and fathers can practice the techniques provided in the book. The more you practice, the better you, your partner and the baby would feel during birth.

Good concept, slow reader

wife is super into doing this for our birth. I hope it works out. The reader reads very slow on this, so I recommend playing it at 1.1x speed. It does NOT sound sped up at this speed.
