Day Fifty- Pushing Oct 16, 2019

Show notes

Tonight I am talking about the concept of pushing a baby out; how it has become mainstream but totally goes against everything we know about our instincts, not to mention how pushing can be a hindrance to labour. In this episode I will explore the Hypnobirthing friendly way for a baby to enter the world.

Day Forty-Nine- Instinct Oct 16, 2019

Show notes

Today I am talking about our all powerful, all knowing, and bloody incredible instinct. Instinct is something that has seem to be forgotten by the mainstream when it comes to labour, but the truth is our bodies were made to birth and our instinct knows that. A huge part of practicing hypnobirthing is about learning the power of the female body, trusting in that power and switching off our our mind-chatter to let our instincts kick in and do the hard work for us. I will explore this further in today's episode.

Day Forty-Eight- Birth Release Oct 11, 2019

Show notes

Tonight I am acknowledging that as I get closer to my birth some new and different fears start to surface and despite doing a lot of work around fear release & re-conditioning the mind. New and lingering fears do still appear. and so, tonight I am sharing with you a meditation to use to release some of these fears. This can also be used near your due time, at the start of labour or if you labour stalls.

Day Forty-Seven- Dating Oct 10, 2019

Show notes

Tonight, I am talking about dating- yes dating!Dating yourself and dating your partner during your pregnancy. Doesn’t sound too much like breathing a baby out, huh?! Well that you would be right about, but it is about connection; connection to yourself & your partner and about enjoying the sacred time you have left not being parents. This podcast comes from the beautiful coromandel where we are currently enjoying our rainy baby moon, if you want to see more of that then also follow me on instagram @what_the_f_is_endometriosis

Day Forty Five-Breastfeeding Oct 09, 2019

Show notes

Today is part 1 of 2 podcasts about breastfeeding; in this episode I will explore the benefits of breastfeeding and why I am choosing to give it a try but I will also discuss how overwhelming it can seem and the challenges seem to rarely be discussed.

Day- Forty Four- Vitamin K Oct 08, 2019

Show notes

Is it just me or do you feel that because you are pregnant people expect you to know heaps of stuff about random things that you have NEVER heard of?! An example for me has been the Vitamin K supplement; medical professionals, my midwife, even friends with children just start harping on about this thing as if I am suddenly an encyclopaedia of birth knowledge.. when in truth I had never heard of it! Lucky for you, I have now done my research and to save you some time I have explained the purpose of the supplement, and the pros & cons. WARNING- it is a little biased towards giving the supplement to baby BUT remember it is your decision, just ensure it is an informed one.
