In this episode of the Nourishing Birth and Beyond Podcast I provide a detailed discussion on three methods to alleviate labour pain: using a TENS machine, which interrupts pain signals with a tingling sensation; practicing controlled breathing to reduce stress and support hormone balance; and incorporating movement to aid labour progression and comfort.
In this episode of the Nourishing Birth and Beyond podcast, host I talk with Amy about her journey to home birth. Amy shares her initial fears about childbirth and how she overcame them through hypnobirthing and preparation. She discusses the importance of feeling empowered and supported, highlighting the significant role her doula played in her experience. Despite challenges with her midwife, Amy’s preparation and support system helped her achieve a positive home birth. The episode also touches on the broader themes of birth preparation, the influence of societal norms, and the value of investing in a supportive birth experience.
