Preparing for Childbirth: Guided Imagery Exercises to Ease Labor and Delivery

Research studies show that women who prepare themselves mentally for childbirth experience shorter labors, less discomfort, and fewer complications. On Preparing for Childbirth, Dr. Martin Rossman – a practitioner of holistic medicine for over 30 years – teaches three guided imagery exercises: learning deep relaxation, rehearsing the process of childbirth, and guided imagery for the week before delivery. A woman’s body is perfectly designed to bring a baby into this world, teaches Rossman, and with Preparing for Childbirth, expectant mothers will discover a means for allowing the natural process of labor and delivery to take place while feeling focused, confident, and well-prepared.
