The Hypnobirthing Podcast

In this episode, I’m setting the scene for the season by gently unpacking what hypnobirthing really is, and what it isn’t. So many parents come to hypnobirthing feeling pressure to do it “right,” to stay calm, or to have a certain kind of birth, and I want to take that pressure away.Hypnobirthing isn’t about control or perfection. It’s about understanding your body, feeling safe, and having choices. I talk about the nervous system, why safety matters in birth, and what a positive birth truly means; regardless of how your birth unfolds.If you’re pregnant and looking for more support, I share details of my hypnobirthing courses and doula support in the below. And if this episode helped, I’d love you to follow the podcast or leave a review.Thank you for being here 🤍🌸 Resources & Linkso 🤰 Doula Packages – Discover how I can support you throughout pregnancy and birth: The Nurture Nest Doula Serviceso 🎓 Hypnobirthing Courses – Learn tools and techniques to feel calm and confident: Explore Courseso ☕ Say Thanks – If this podcast has helped you, you can buy me a coffee hereo 📚 Claire’s Book Recommendations – My favourite reads for pregnancy and birth: Amazon Book Listo 📖 The Little Book of Positive Birth Stories – Celebrate inspiring birth stories: Get Your Copy Hereo 🎬 Birth Time Documentary – Get 20% off with code CICADA20: Watch Hereo 📸 Instagram – Daily tips, birth stories & inspiration: @the_nurture_nesto 🛁 Birth Pool Discount – Get 10% off here: Claim Offero ⚡ BabyCare TENS Discount – 10% off with code 10NURTURENEST: Shop Here Hosted on Acast.
