The Birthing Affirmations are a series of positive statements to help you focus on the positive aspects of the labour process, to guide you in trusting your body and nature and encourage you to fell strong and empowered. This CD is for use during the entire pregnancy and has been found to be highly effective in providing strength and calmness during labour. 

 

The Pregnancy Relaxation CD has been designed to help you learn and achieve physical relaxation as well as helping you to prepare emotionally for welcoming your baby. The benefits of physical relaxation during pregnancy are great and it is important to practice physical relaxation as often as possible. The scripts offer you imagery for use during labour and birthing. There is also a fear release script to help you ensure a calm and confident birthing.

 

The Parents' Relaxation reacquaints the user with physical relaxation and also offers a script for emotional and spiritual relaxation, helping you to find that inner calmness, confidence and sense of well-being.

 

The CDs have been designed for use in conjunction with the BirthSkills program. They work well as stand alone products however you are encouraged to make use of the email support offered to ensure maximum efficiency of the scripts.

Emails from happy customers:

Hi Shari

 Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I gave birth to my baby boy on the 5th of May using the BirthSkills technique and it was the most wonderful experience of my life. 

I went into labour at 1.30am and the surges were 10 mins apart.  Because I had had a c section previously the hospital told me to come straight in.  We arrived at the hospital at 4am and I was already 3cm dilated.  I was put in the ward because my labour was progressing quite slowly with the surges remaining at 10 mins apart all day until about 4pm.  I remained calm and confident the whole time and stayed on my feet using my breathing and some of the positions in the birth skills manual. 

As the surges strengthened I read my affirmations and refocused my mind.  At 4pm the surges were every 3 mins and were quite intense.  I went to the birth suite at this time, and I was 8cm dilated.  The pushing seemed to go on forever and I did use the gas, but I still used my breathing and thought about the things I learnt from birth skills.  Baby Isaac was born at 6.45 pm and was 8 pounds 9 ounces and was 54cm long.  I had a 3rd degree tear, but it did not cause me much discomfort. 

Thank you so much for allowing me to have a wonderful birth, I am so proud of what I have achieved, I never thought I could endure something like this.

 I have attached some photos for you.

 Thanks again,  

Robyne 

 

Hi Shari,

Just thought I would finally make the time now that my baby is 14 weeks old to write and let you know that all went well.

The birth was absolutely wonderful and everything that I dreamed it could be. Having read through the information that you sent enabled me to really work with my body and get through all the contractions until my waters broke at home, drove to the hospital and delivered beautifully without any drugs within 40 minutes of arriving. Walked back to my room, had a long and blissful shower and have felt fabulous for every moment since. So thank you for the program which enabled me to have the trust in myself and my body that I could do this with ease. No sign of those nasty post delivery complications I suffered with my first baby.     

Baby Jett arrived at 8.27pm on February 23, 2006. He was 8lb 10 oz and 55cm long.

Thank you once again and best wishes,

Heatha
