At last... who would have thought I would rave about Nicole Richie



So after my last tirade slating Mr and Mrs Rooney's almost unbelievable decision to generate a perfectly timed birth of their child to fit in with the international football calendar, I am so pleased to read that Nicole Richie, pregnant with her second child is undergoing hypnosis for her fears around childbirth.

She used this form of preparation with her first child and guess what, had a natural birth, a radical childbirth story it seems in celebville. I am a massive advocate of hypnobirthing (see details below) and did use this and the cd's prior to the birth of my first baby.

I strongly believe the NHS should implement this book free for all pregnant ladies and hypnobirthing courses a neccesity for pregnant couples. You can now get £190 back from the governement towards a hypnobirthing course. http://campaigns.direct.gov.uk/money4mum2be/ this is noted on the Hypnobirthing website http://www.hypnobirthing.co.uk/, I am not sure if you are made aware of this when you go to your antenatal check ups or not. It should be!

It should also be obligatory for midwives to read and practice if not all but some of the hypnobirthing methods.

come and get on it, spread the word... yehaaaaaaa natural births rock!
