About this episode
Birth isn’t just a physical experience; it’s a deeply mental and emotional one too. The way you prepare your mind can have a huge impact on how you feel during labour and beyond. In this episode of The Hypnobirthing Podcast , I share 7 powerful ways to prepare your mind for birth so you can approach your baby’s arrival with calm, confidence, and trust in your body. We’ll cover: ✨ Why knowledge is power in birth ✨ How to reframe negative beliefs and replace them with positive ones ✨ The importance of relaxation techniques and daily practice ✨ The role of visualisation in creating confidence ✨ How your support team impacts your mindset ✨ Managing the “what ifs” so you feel prepared for anything ✨ Using affirmations to remind yourself of your strength Along the way, I’ll share how positive birth stories (like those in my book The Little Book of Positive Birth Stories and here on the podcast) can transform your mindset, and why hypnobirthing tools are so effective for preparing mentally and emotionally. Whether you’re a first-time parent or adding to your family, this episode will give you practical, encouraging steps to feel ready for birth. 🌸 Resources & Links 🤰 Doula Packages – Discover how I can support you throughout pregnancy and birth: The Nurture Nest Doula Services 🎓 Hypnobirthing Courses – Learn tools and techniques to feel calm and confident: Explore Courses ☕ Say Thanks – If this podcast has helped you, you can buy me a coffee here 📚 Claire’s Book Recommendations – My favourite reads for pregnancy and birth: Amazon Book List 📖 The Little Book of Positive Birth Stories – Celebrate inspiring birth stories: Get Your Copy Here 🎬 Birth Time Documentary – Get 20% off with code CICADA20: Watch Here 📸 Instagram – Daily tips, birth stories & inspiration: @the_nurture_nest 🛁 Birth Pool Discount – Get 10% off here: Claim Offer ⚡ BabyCare TENS Discount – 10% off with code 10NURTURENEST: Shop Here Hosted on Acast.
