    Episode 145 - Induction: What You Should Know Before Saying Yes

    In this episode of The Hypnobirthing Podcast, I’m talking all about induction, what it really means, why it might be offered, and what I believe every parent should know before making a decision. Induction is one of the most common interventions in maternity care, and many people are offered it at some point during pregnancy. But something I hear time and time again is that parents didn’t fully understand what induction involved, or that they didn’t realise they had options. So this episode is here to gently guide you through it.

    Episode 143 - Busting Common Birth Myths

    In this episode of The Hypnobirthing Podcast, I break down some of the most common myths surrounding birth, and gently challenge the messages so many parents hear during pregnancy. From dramatic TV portrayals to well-meaning but often frightening stories from others, it’s easy to feel anxious about what birth might be like. But how much of what we hear is actually true? This episode is all about separating myth from reality, so you can approach your birth feeling calmer, more informed, and more confident.

    Episode 142 - Looking Back on Birth One Year Later: Sinead’s Story

    In this episode I’m joined by Sinead, who shares her birth story and reflects on her experience around a year after welcoming her baby. Sinead talks about how listening to birth stories during her pregnancy helped her feel more prepared and informed about what to expect, and how that shaped the way she approached her own birth. It’s such a lovely full-circle moment to have someone who listened to the podcast during pregnancy come on to share her own story. We talk about her preparation for birth, how she used hypnobirthing techniques along the way, and what it’s been like looking back on her experience now with a bit of time and perspective. Sinead shares some really thoughtful reflections about birth preparation, trusting yourself, and how hearing positive stories can make such a difference during pregnancy.

    Episode 138 - From Pregnancy to Birth: Sian’s Experience with Hypnobirthing

    In this episode of The Hypnobirthing Podcast, I’m joined by Sian, who shares her journey through pregnancy, hypnobirthing, and birth as a mum of two. Sian reflects on how discovering hypnobirthing influenced her confidence during pregnancy, the expectations she had going into labour, and how her real-life birth experiences compared to what she had imagined. We talk honestly about decision-making, conversations with healthcare professionals, and the emotions that can come up when birth doesn’t go exactly to plan. This episode is a gentle reminder that birth preparation isn’t about controlling outcomes; it’s about understanding your options, feeling informed, and trusting yourself to navigate whatever comes your way.
