A woman's body is perfectly designed to bring a baby into this world, teaches Dr. Martin L. Rossman, and women who prepare themselves for childbirth experience shorter labors, less discomfort, and fewer complications.
On Preparing for Childbirth, Dr. Rossman, a leading expert in therapeutic guided imagery, teaches you three proven exercises to allow the natural process of labor and delivery to take place while feeling focused, confident, and well-prepared.
Suggestions for Working with Guided Imagery:

  • For your own safety and the safety of others, never listen to guided imagery exercises while you are driving or operating dangerous equipment
  • A quiet, darkened place, or an eye pillow, may make it easier to concentrate
  • Try headphones or speakers if you have the choice and see which one you prefer
  • Get comfortable and feel free to move anytime to stay comfortable
  • Let your answering machine answer the phone, turn off the ringer, or unplug the phone
  • Tell your housemates that you d like to be undisturbed for about 30 minutes, unless there is a genuine emergency
  • Taking some time to write or draw about your experience afterward is a good way to deepen your experience with your guided imagery
