Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Paperback ISBN: 9780285643352 Publisher: Souvenir Press Age Range: Adult (Expectant Parents) Overview: HypnoBirthing: The Mongan Method by Marie Mongan is a warm, practical guide that reframes labour as a calm, natural event rather than something to fear. Drawing on self-hypnosis, deep relaxation and specialised breathing, Mongan's method helps mothers-to-be release tension and trust their body's own birthing instincts. A trusted companion for antenatal preparation, this paperback is ideal for first-time parents, couples attending birth classes, doulas and midwives, or anyone wanting a gentler, more empowered approach to childbirth. About the Book: HypnoBirthing: The Mongan Method sets out Marie Mongan's pioneering philosophy that birth does not need to be synonymous with pain and panic. She explains how fear triggers physical tension in the body, which in turn can slow labour and increase the likelihood of complications and intervention. Working through guided imagery, positive affirmations, deep abdominal breathing and visualisation exercises, the book teaches expectant mothers - and their birth partners - how to interrupt this fear-tension-pain cycle and allow the body to do what it is naturally designed to do. Chapter by chapter, readers move through preparation for pregnancy, understanding labour, relaxation scripts to rehearse at home, and guidance for birth partners. Mongan draws on decades training HypnoBirthing practitioners worldwide, with testimonials from mothers who found the method transformed dread into anticipation. The tone is reassuring rather than clinical, making the physiology accessible to a general reader. For couples wanting less reliance on pain medication and more sense of control, the book offers a structured, easy-to-follow programme to start well ahead of the due date.
