A few months ago I was contacted by the amazing Han-Son, founder of Daddilife and asked if I might be able to source one of my Hypnobirthing fathers who'd be willing to share his experiences of Hypnobirthing for the first ever Hypnobirthing book for dads.
Now - if you're reading this and were not contacted - it's not because I don't think you are amazing - I simply had too many of you wonderful men to chose from! As Ben. H. had recently become a father and it was all quite fresh in his mind he got the call up and, despite being a new father, kindly agreed to be interviewed for the book.
The book is brilliantly laid out, not too heavy but doesn't skimp on information. It's an easy read and will make a great accompaniment to a Hypnobirthing course, as well as a fabulous gift for an expecting father.
Scattered throughout are quotes from the fathers interviewed for the book which gives some real reassurance and makes the idea feel that bit more solid for any sceptics among us (my husband was one - heck I was once!!).
What's more, every copy comes with not one but two free gifts.
