I started to listen to this CD in the last month of my pregnancy. (every night) I alternated between this CD and Blissful Birth by Glenn Harrold. During labor I was just relaxing. Yes, that is correct...relaxing...my epidural was going strong and I was leveled at 5 cm. with no progress for 4 hours. I decided to pop in this CD. Within 5 minutes, my contractions were going wild, the nurse came flying in to check my charts. I asked her if I should stop listening, and she said, "No. Keep listening!" Within 15 minutes I progressed to 10 cm. and within 15 more minutes, my baby was born. I really think this CD caused my mind to kick start everything! It is AMAZING what the mind can do!

Great CDs
rating: 5
I bought this CD set along with several others to help prepare me for the birth of my daugher in August. I have really enjoyed listening to this product, and was happy that they came in 2 CDs, one for pregnancy and one just for the birth. I used the 1st CD throughout my 2nd and 3rd trimesters, and just started the 2nd CD. I really like the guided imagery and background music. I listen to it daily and have to admit I have fallen asleep to the sound of her voice sometimes. I definitely feel these CDs help with all that chatter in my mind and allow me to relax and let go of my worries for a while; great CD!

Amazing help in preparing for labor
rating: 5
I bought this CD too late to use the pregnancy CD effectively, so I just used the Labor and Delivery CD for the last three weeks of my pregnancy. It became my twice a day ritual that I truly looked forward to and even my husband loved falling asleep to it at night. Bellruth has a really relaxing voice and the messages of the CD are affirming and non judgmental. When it came time for my labor, I used this CD at home when my contractions started getting more serious. We brought this CD and a few other musical CDs to the hospital and initially I listened to the music, then when I started going into transition, all I wanted to hear in the background was Bellruth's CD. It must have played over and over at least 10 times. This was really important in helping me to relax my muscles and keep breathing during contractions, my nurses, midwives and doula were all very impressed. I had the delivery that I had really hoped for, all natural with lots of help and support. This CD was a big part of that. I can't recommend it strongly enough.

Quite Good
rating: 5
This CD is quite good. It's the only thing I have calming enough to listen to to put me to sleep--my doula (birth coach) said that's a great thing, actually, b/c that means it will relax me druing labor. When I'm not super tired the words for the childbirth part are very inspiring. That's really the only CD of the 2 disc set I listened to since I'm due any day now. I listen to it just about every day. But author/narrator says even if the first time you listen to it is during labor that would be helpful, and I agree!

I was impressed
rating: 5
I was not sure what to expect with this set. I wanted something that would help me relax during delivery and I figured the best time to start was before the baby was born. I got the set yesterday and have listened to the pregnancy CD only. I am sure the childbirth cd will be just as helpful. Today I feel very relaxed and calm. Because of this cd set I plan to purchase other Health Journey CD's. The music in the background on this cd is very nice. I bought another meditation cd on iTunes that was highly recommended and the music was so annoying I could not relax. This one is nice and as others have said Belleruth's voice is also very pleasant and calming. I would recommend this cd to any pregnant woman. I wish I had had it when I was in my first trimester and dealing with the early stressors of pregnancy. I am also into yoga and truly believe that you can do a lot with your breathing. That is kind of key to these cd's so if you are not into that and do not have an open mind about it these may not be for you. (I have seen other reviews for her products that knock them for that, but that is what it is about)
