This HaBO request comes from Molly, who is searching for a contemporary romance:
I’m typically a historical romance girl, but I read a contemporary in the last 5 years, likely more that really stuck with me.
The heroine was already married when the book started and very successful in advertising, I think. She and her husband had decided not to have any kids, but after they both came down with the flu, their birth control failed, and they wound up pregnant. It was sort of a story about reconnecting and rekindling their love for each other.
The thing that I really found interesting was, as she was reading up on pregnancy, she discovered hynobirthing and she wound up using it for delivering her baby. I had never heard of hypnobirthing, so it caused me to look it up and I ended up using it when I had my son. I’d love to remember what it was called, but it has eluded me.
Hypnobirthing ring any bells for anyone?
That is such a lovely story!
Unfortunately, I don’t think I have ever heard of hypnobirthing (watch it turns out I’ve totally read the book) so I’m no help, but someone *has* to know this one.
I’ve never read this book, but who feels like getting it on when they have the flu?
Really? Best way to forget about it!
My Mom was hypnotized when she delivered my brother in 1958. That woman was always ahead of her time, it would seem. Sorry, can’t help you with the book.
I haven’t read the book either, but I DID visit a hypno-therapist after my first – 48 unmedicated hours in labor – child’s birth in 1990. I only went once, took as much from it as I could, and had a much easier (that’s relatively speaking, of course), experience the second time. (Third time around I was overseas, there were complications, and the doctor slapped a gas mask over my face and I was gone – sigh). But that all aside, I’d really like to read the book, so I hope someone knows of it!
I used hypnobirthing with my second and didn’t realize I was in labor until the last minute. It was practically a drive-by delivery.
Nobody told me about hypnobirthingj!!! I would totally have tried it. This book sounds interesting, hope someone knows the name. Of course, my TBR pile is fairly daunting at the moment.
My mother would have adored hynobirthing
I don’t know what this book is but I did do hypnobirthing with my third baby and that sh*t works!
