The podcast emphasises the importance of learning about the natural birth process to feel confident and in control, as opposed to relying on potentially misleading or dramatised cultural narratives. 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.

Sound bites from this episode:
“What you need to do in pregnancy is learn about birth so that you can support natural birth and your hormones and all the aspects that are needed to naturally birth your baby.”
“Lots of people think that they can just go with the flow when it comes to giving birth… if you haven’t done any of that, you’re not going with the flow, you’re going with someone else’s flow because someone else will be directing your birth and it won’t be you.”
“Imagine if you were learning to drive a car, but you’ve never been in a car before… If you’d never been in a car before and were trying to learn to drive with zero information, that would be incredibly challenging. And that’s how birth is.”
“We need to put in that groundwork so that when labour starts… you have this clarity of mind of understanding what’s normal.”
