    Episode 174 - Is birth really as painful as people say?

    In today's solo episode, I explore some of the most common myths and misconceptions surrounding labour pain. I look at why labour is experienced differently from person to person, how fear and anxiety can influence the experience of pain, why pain intensity isn't the only factor that determines whether someone has a positive birth experience, and why using pain relief is never a sign that you've failed.

    Episode 168 - When home birth doesn't go to plan: Georgie's positive first birth story

    In this episode, Georgie joins me to share her first birth story. Although Georgie had planned a home birth, circumstances meant she chose to transfer into hospital during labour. She shares how, despite her plans changing, she went on to have an incredibly positive birth experience with no regrets. This episode is a lovely reminder that birth doesn't always go to plan, but it can still be a positive and empowering experience. Thank you, Georgie, for sharing your story.
