Natal Hypnotherapy Books for Birth professionals

Primal Health Ref: 9781905570089
This book is essential reading for all who care about the health of our children and the ongoing health of society as a whole. Michel Odent, the leading pioneer for natural childbirth, indicates that the period between conception and a child's first birthday is critical to life-long health. In this prophetic book - first published in 1986 and reproduced here in its original form - he argues that different parts of the 'primal adaptive system' develop, regulate and adjust themselves during foetal life and the time around birth and infancy. 'Everything which happens during this period of dependence on the mother has an influence on this basic state of health, this primal health.' He suggests that the later well-being of adults, their ability to withstand the 'diseases of civilization' such as hypertension, cancer, alcoholism and failures of the immune system resulting in AIDS, allergies and viral diseases, can all be traced back to society's ignorance of the vital importance of the primal period.

The Doula Book Ref: 9780738206097
A Doula, from the Greek word meaning "woman caregiver," acts as a companion to a woman before, during, and, to a lesser extent, after labour. Unlike a midwife, she does not provide obstetrical care (i.e., deliver babies) but rather offers continuous and individualized emotional and physical support in order to foster a sense of reassurance, shorten labour, and decrease the need for pain killers and ceasarean section. In this update of Mothering the Mother (1993), neonatologist Klaus, pediatrician John H. Kennell, and psychotherapist Phyllis H. Klaus carefully delineate the specific functions and characteristics of a well-trained Doula, the criteria for selecting one, and the numerous benefits of using one. Real-life examples of the interaction among the Doula, the mother, and her partner illuminate what it's like to work with a Doula. Appendixes provide detailed information. A great book for anyone considering becoming a doula or wishing to hire one.

Childbirth without fear Ref: 9780953096466
This is one of the books which inspired Maggie Howell to develop Natal Hypnotherapy.

Even though it was written in 1933, the principles behind the book are still quoted today. The book opens with a story of a young girl giving birth quietly in seclusion at home who looks up at the doctor and says afterwards - "That did not hurt, it wasn't meant to hurt was it?"

The book explores the connection between fear and pain. Grantly Dick-Read explains that "There is no physiological function in the body that gives rise to pain in the normal course of health. In no other animal species is the process of birth apparently associated with any suffering, pain or agony, except where pathology exists or in an unnatural state, such as captivity."

Instinctive Birthing Ref: 9781904760023
The maternity services in the UK have recently been evaluated and found wanting. This comes as no surprise to Val Clarke, a community midwife and independent practitioner for over 25 years. She’s witnessed first hand the medicalisation of birth and the limitations of the National Health Service - both to the very real detriment of mothers and babies. Yet, even within a system where consistent and good quality antenatal care may be hard to find, the essential theme of her book is that it is possible for all women to have the births they want.

Though some women may feel more comfortable with a high-tech experience, others with a water birth, and still others with a caesarean, all women will have more successful birthing experiences if throughout their pregnancies, labours and deliveries, they are acting in concert with their instincts. Those feelings that can tell a woman if her baby is healthy, labour positions to adopt, even the right time to push!
