And why do more than 40% of births now end in caesarian section, the highest percentage in history? The answer is simple: because our culture teaches women to fear birth, it is a painful and unsettling experience. Fear causes three physical reactions in the body--tightening of the muscles, reduced blood flow, and the release of certain hormones--which increase the pain and discomfort of childbirth. This is not hocus-pocus this is science. Hypnobirthing drastically reduces the pain of labor and childbirth. It almost always eliminates the need for drugs. It reduces the need for caesarian or other doctor-controlled birth interventions. And it speeds recovery time, allowing for better and earlier bonding with the baby, which has been proven to be vital to the mother-child bond. Although The Hypnobirthing Institute was founded in 1989, this is not a new technique. It is based on the work of doctors in the 1920s and 1930s-the same work that spawned the worldwide phenomenon of Lamaze in the 1950s and the Bradley Method in the 1970s. What's new is the momentum Hypnobirthing is gaining--more than 25,000 books sold last year through the author's website (www.hypnobirthing.com)--and it's only getting stronger. Key Features Book includes an audio CD with guided relaxation exercises Happy Hypnobirthing graduates are spreading the word, causing the number of informed mothers-to-be to grow exponentially each year. This is a word-of-mouth phenomenon. A complete introduction to Hypnobirthing, giving the science and history behind the movement, how it should be practiced, and practical instruction for pregnancy, labor, and the birth itself. Does not have to be used as an exclusive natural birthing option. The relaxation techniques can be used along with drugs during labor or even just as quiet time for the pregnant mother every night. Hypnobirthing is trademarked to our author, so no one else can ever publish a book on this technique. 709355 24 5 1998 HypnoBirthing: The Mongan Method: A natural approach to a safe, easier, more comfortable birthing (3rd Edition) total:444|5:126|4:153|3:122|2:35|1:8| 444 1686 543 188 1 5 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Jan 05 17:35:46 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 05 18:15:27 -0800 2008 cause of death of women in developing nations.
