I used Paola’s Birthing Made Easy hypnobirthing techniques for the labour and birth of my first child almost 3 years ago. My pregnancy yoga teacher recommended it to me. It was brilliant and using the techniques enabled me to have a smooth, quick and controlled birth. It helped me to use my contractions to help me push the baby down and to minimise the pain I experienced.
I intended to use the book and app for the birth of my second baby a week ago. However, my daughter arrived 4 weeks early so I hadn’t got into it as much as I had hoped! But having already used hypnobirthing once the techniques came back to me even though I had only re-read one chapter of the book and used the app briefly. I would highly recommend Birthing Made Easy and the app is a brilliant addition to the book.
