I read about hypnobirthing breifly while pregnant. I had a natural (drug and intervention free) vaginal breech birth.
I would recommend a birthing pool (fantastic pain relief!)
And making what ever sounds you need to during contractions. (i made a sort of moaning chanting sound and really focused on that instead of on the pain!
Goodluck!

I don’t recommend it’s use without the classes. A lot is missing from it that you would learn at the classes.

Really, if you make it a point to relax and concentrate through the contractions and find things to focus on you’ll find yourself going into an almost trance-like state in the thick of labor. I know I did, and I didn’t employ much of what was in the book.
