I used this book in conjuction with a class to have a natural, beautiful birth. My review of the book: presents a nice history of birthing, understanding of the method and includes a CD to use. Introduces people to specific techniques to use while in labor. It does provide a place to start, but I found the class really supplemented the book and provided a lot of the more useful techniques we used while in labor. For a brief review of hypnobirthing, my labor wasn't anything like the videos I watched (although I know some women do report totally serene and pain free births), but I did have a natural, drug-free labor using hypnobirthing. I wouldn't call it pain free, but it was definitely manageable and hpynobirthing provided the support I needed! If you are wanting to do natural childbirth, I would highly recommend looking into this method.
