The Hypnobirthing Podcast

In today's solo episode, I discuss my top tips for birth partners. As a doula, I have seen a lot of birth and I have seen the things that help and the things that don't. Please share this episode with a birth partner you think might benefit.

In this episode, I’m joined by Helen as she shares the positive birth stories of her two daughters, Sarah and Olivia. After pregnancy loss, anxiety and difficult pregnancies with hyperemesis, Helen found hypnobirthing and began preparing for birth feeling informed and confident. We talk about two different but incredibly positive birth experiences, trusting your instincts when labour doesn’t follow the textbook, and why contractions don’t always need to fit the classic ‘3 in 10’ pattern for things to be progressing. A lovely reminder that birth can unfold in its own way, and that listening to your body really matters.

In this episode, I’m joined by writer, producer and actress Jade Asha to talk all about her new film Due Dating. We chat about where the idea for the film came from, writing and filming while pregnant, portraying pregnancy on screen, maternal autonomy and the clichés Jade wanted to challenge along the way. We also hear what she hopes pregnant women will take away from watching the film.

You can watch now on Amazon Prime.

A solo episode for me discussing some of my own personal experiences of consultants and doctors coming into the birth space and initiating difficult conversations. I have some thoughts on this and how you can best prepare for these situations.
