 Craig Nutraceuticals | Home » » » HypBirth: Natural Childbirth Preparation Kit (DVD) | | | | | | | Description: | | The HypBirth program is scientifically based on removing stress hormones that are largely responsible for the pain in childbirth. Learn how to eliminate these stress hormones and instead, elevate your body's own natural pain reliever and "love drug" endorphins. With the HypBirth program you can expect to achieve a more comfortable labor, a generally faster delivery. You can also expect to build confidence and comfort during your pregnancy.
HypBirth has been successfully used by thousands of women. It is the most comprehensive and easy-to-use program for the preparation and facilitation of childbirth hypnosis available.
The HypBirth program includes a complete hour-and-a-half training DVD that interactively takes you through each of the 8 CDs included in the program. With the gentle sounds of lullaby music in the background, listen to the instructor's voice and feel she is speaking directly to you. Also included is HypBirth HypNotes, which will enable your partner to be your facilitator.
In as little as four weeks with HypBirth, you can gain confidence, and comfort, that your labor will be in control and generally much faster.
Practicing daily with the HypBirth program creates a level of relaxation needed to stop the flow of catecholamines, the stress hormones that are released during labor. These hormones are designed to signal the body of impending danger by creating an instant "fight-or-flight" response. Catecholamines work very well during stressful situations as when you are truly in danger, but in labor they only hinder the process.
Without the presence of catecholamines your body is naturally filled with endorphins, nature's "love drug" and a natural pain reliever. When endorphins are released, your muscles are relaxed and there is a feeling of well-being and safety. Catecholamine release is a fear-based response, creating constriction in the muscles that is generally associated with pain. . | | | Features: | |

 great purchaseMar 05, 2010
I really wanted to take the class, but my husband and I couldn't find one to fit our schedules. In the end, I bought these CDs and he read "the Bradley method." It turned out to be a winning combination. I really used the techniques in this book for my labor with twins. I was able to do hypnobirthing through the night until I couldn't take it anymore, and called my midwife at 7am. When she got to my house I was at least 3cm dilated. At that time I got in a birthing tub, which was the BEST technique by far. I continued doing the hypnosis until my babies were born at 2:10 and 2:43. No drugs. This is a great coping mechanism, and I feel it helped speed up my labor.

Worked for first pregnancyDec 12, 2009
I loaded all the CDs onto my MP3 player and started listening to them about week 31 of pregnancy. The instructions state you should start on about week 33, when you should listen to the same CD about 7 days in a row before moving on to the next one. There are four main CDs and the other CD's have extra material that you can practice with. Once you are done with the four main CDs you can pick what you want to listen to each day until you go into labor. I didn't think I'd be able to listen every single day so I started early to make up for some lost days. I found the instructional video content to be okay, but the video quality was very low budget. If you can get past the chintzy decor and the bad lighting and sound in the video, the content still does what it intends to: provide instruction on how to use the CDs. You only need to watch a short part of the video once before moving on to each of the four main CDs. I found the CDs to be great, the four main ones are divided in to three sections each, one that is to relax you, one to teach you tools to use during labor and one that had positive birth words or affirmations. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but sometimes the sound level varied on the CDs, with one section becoming much louder all of the sudden.
When I used the CD's in the evening, I fell asleep quite often, so during the weekend I would try to use them during the day and sometimes I'd double up so I could make up for days that I fell asleep or missed practicing altogether.
I went into labor feeling like I had some tools to rely on. I did not have a fast labor; in fact, I had a very long labor, over 30 hours from the very first contraction. It was a great labor though, and I did it naturally without an epidural. I delivered at a hospital with midwives. There was a jetted tub in the room which I used three different times. I was checked early on at 2 cm and then I was not checked again until much later. My contractions never got really strong or really close together. The time between contractions was varied the whole time, with 3 minutes in between, then 10, then 5 then back to 3 or back to 10. When I was checked the second time, I thought they were going to tell me I was at about 5 cm because of the erratic pattern, but I was already at 10 cm. I had already gone through transition and did not even know it because my contractions were never that painful. I truly think it was because of the Hypbirth tools that I used to relax and let my body do its work. My focus during the whole labor was to relax every single part of my body from head to toe. Once I found a position that I was comfortable pushing in, I pushed for 30 minutes. Pushing felt very primal with moaning and grunting sounds I had no idea I could make.
Using this preparation kit was worth it. I mentioned to a friend that I wanted to share this with all my pregnant friends, but someone pointed out that I am the type of person that likes yoga a lot and that maybe that's why this worked well for me and that some folks may not want to go inward like that. I don't know if you have to be into yoga to appreciate this kind of tool, but I think it's worth a try if you have the time.

It definitely helpsSep 30, 2008
My results: 6 hr labor and no epidural. The techniques helped with pain management during the labor period. There is not much training for the delivery period, which probably would have helped. A great side benefit was improved sleep quality during the weeks I listened to the CD sets. I think the CDs are worth it for the sleep factor!

VBAC - It worked like a dreamApr 22, 2008
My baby is now three years old. I used this product with her. I was intent on a natural birth and my first birth (a decade earlier) was a c-section. The labor nurse said that she had never seen anyone as relaxed as I was. I kept my fingers near my cd player to begin a cd with each contraction.
I delivered in record time. They admitted me at 11:XX in the morning with the intention of inducing labor. I guess my body wasn't interested in a round of induced labor drugs, so I went into natural labor by noon. Hubby arrived with birth bag (which had my cds). By 3:00pm, my baby girl was here. The last time I did this it took 27 hours, so I will take less than 3 any day.
I was very worried about this product not working. Many days, I would fall asleep on the cds. No fear, they worked like a dream. If I become pregnant again, I intend to purchase again, as I loaned the old set to a co-worker and never got them back.
Invest the time and money, you won't be sorry.

I got the birth I wanted!Dec 13, 2007
After my first birth being exactly what I didn't want (lots of interventions), I was determined to have a natural birth the second time around. A friend recommended HypBirth and I immediately bought it and started using it, early in my pregnancy. What a difference!! I was calm right up to the end of my pregnancy, without any nervous jitters about a repeat performance.
My labor was similar physically (days long) but completely different mentally. At the hospital, just before transition, I heard a few different nurses say "I've never seen ANYONE so calm during labor". I got what I wanted - a completely natural birth. AND I felt great after the delivery!
I highly recommend HypBirth to anyone who wants a calm, natural birth.
