Birth, Babe.

EPISODE 3: What If I Can't Cope With Labour?

"What if I panic?"

"What if I lose control?"

"What if I can't do this?"

If you've ever had those thoughts, my girl, you are so not alone.

In this episode, we're talking about one of the biggest fears women carry into birth: the fear of not coping.

Because here's the truth…

You don't need to be fearless.

You don't need to have the "perfect" birth.

And you definitely don't need to become some magical birth goddess to have an incredible experience.

We'll chat about:

💗 Why the pressure to have the "perfect" birth is exhausting
💗 Why everyone's version of a beautiful birth is so bloody different
💗 Why comparison steals your confidence
💗 Why you don't need to prove anything to anybody
💗 Why confidence and fear can exist together
💗 How preparation changes everything
💗 Why you might surprise yourself more than you think

Whether your dream birth involves a pool and fairy lights, an epidural and plenty of snacks, or a planned caesarean where you feel calm and informed, this episode is your reminder that there are a thousand ways to have an incredible birth.

And every single one of them counts.

Remember, lovely…

There is no perfect birth.

There is only your birth.

And that's more than enough. 💗

Before I became a birth coach supporting thousands of women through pregnancy and birth, I was absolutely terrified of birth.

I had tokophobia (an intense fear of pregnancy and childbirth), severe medical anxiety, vaginismus and trauma from a previous abusive relationship. I worked in the NHS and still managed to pass out at the sight of blood, needles and anything remotely medical.

So when I saw those two pink lines, my first thought wasn't excitement.

It was panic.

In this episode, I'm sharing the story behind Bump 2 Babies UK, how therapy and hypnobirthing changed my life, my experience with postnatal depression and why I'm so passionate about helping women build birth confidence today.

If you're scared of birth, overwhelmed by pregnancy or wondering whether confidence is something you'll ever feel, this episode is for you.

Because birth confidence isn't something you're born with.

It's something you build.

Babe, I've got you.

If you're pregnant and want to feel calm, confident and fearless about birth, you're in the right place.

🎙️ EPISODE 1: Why Are We So Bloody Scared Of Birth?

Why are so many women terrified of birth?

Not because they're weak.
Not because they're bad at coping.
And definitely not because they're broken.

In this first episode, I'm diving into why we've been conditioned to fear birth from childhood and how years of dramatic TV, horror stories, movies and panic-filled birth scenes have shaped the way we think about labour.

Because fear isn't something you're born with.

It's something you've been taught.

And the good news? You can unlearn it.

Inside this episode we'll talk about:

✨ Why so many women fear birth
✨ How TV and social media have conditioned us to expect trauma
✨ Why birth preparation has become all about the baby and not the woman
✨ Why you don't need to "just get through it"
✨ How proper birth preparation can completely change your experience

If you're pregnant and want to feel calm, confident and fearless about birth, you're in the right place.
