Episode 41: Birth Prep: 3 Mistakes You’re Making (and Don’t Know It)

In this episode of the Nourishing Birth and Beyond podcast, I address three common mistakes in birth preparation: relying solely on a birth plan, fearing pain management, and not proactively learning about caesarean sections. I emphasise the need for a solid understanding of birth processes, the role of hormones in pain management, and the importance of being informed about medical interventions. I also highlight the significance of creating a supportive birth environment and encourage listeners to take an active role in their birth journey. Additionally, I invite listeners to a free workshop on water birth essentials to further empower them in making informed decisions about their birthing experience.

In the Nourishing Birth and Beyond podcast, I provide a supportive and inclusive space for expectant and new parents to feel empowered and informed about their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey.

I invite listeners to a free water birth webinar, which delves into the benefits and considerations of water birth, regardless of whether listeners are certain about their birth preferences. The podcast encourages proactive preparation and understanding to foster trust in one’s body and the birth process.
