To kick off this fourth episode in the Birth with Confidence series we are discussing the importance of reframing labour pain as being normal and physiological rather than pathological. 

Rhea Dempsey, a birth worker, counsellor, childbirth educator and incredible author talks us through:

• The current birth culture and demonising of labour pain 
• The difference between pathological versus physiological pain
• Different sensations you may feel in labour that are completely NORMAL

Today’s episode is episode 4 of 6 in this series. If you want to listen to this entire podcast series all at once and to learn all about the issues within the current birth culture, crises of confidence and so.much.more then you can find all these episodes live right now inside my online membership program, the Pregnancy Posse.
