If you’re currently pregnant, you might be wondering where to give birth.

In this episode of the Nourishing Birth and Beyond podcast, I explore the topic of home birth, highlighting its safety and the personalised, empowering experience it provides compared to hospital births. I am sure to address common misconceptions, the importance of feeling safe and relaxed during birth, and the role of birth hormones in facilitating a natural birth. This episode will encourage you to consider home birth as a viable option, supported by midwives, and to explore the nuances of your own birth preferences and needs.

In this episode of the Nourishing Birth and Beyond podcast I speak to guest Ellie Waddington, a hypnobirthing teacher, to explore the significance of empowering expectant parents by addressing both the birthing individual’s and their partner’s experiences and fears. We discuss the impact of societal conditioning on birth perceptions, the need for informed decision-making, and the importance of personalised support through hypnobirthing. Our conversation highlights the challenges posed by the conventional medical model, advocating for a more holistic and individualised approach to childbirth that empowers parents to make informed choices and fosters positive birth experiences.
