In this episode, I explain the role of adrenaline in the childbirth process and how it can easily cause a birth to go off plan! I suggest ways to identify why you’d build adrenaline in birth as well as minimize or manage it so you can help your labour progress more efficiently. I also draw attention to the importance of building oxytocin, the 'love hormone', for a smoother labour process and advises expectant mothers on how to prepare for a more positive birth experience.

About the Host

Hi, I’m Kelly - a mum of 2 and Hypnobirthing teacher and Birth Educator. My story starts with the premature birth of my little girl. I was shell shocked and felt disappointed in the care I had received during my labour, that left me with a less an ideal birth experience. I started motherhood feeling lonely, overwhelmed and without the slightest clue of how to make things feel better. When I fell pregnant for the second time, I knew I had to take back control. I practised Hypnobirthing and built my knowledge around birth, going on to have an incredible and powerful birth to my son. But something clicked for me. I knew I wanted to help other women build up their knowledge so they could have better experiences too. This led me to train to become a Hypnobirthing teacher, and I have been helping women with my 5* rated course, to feel more supported and have better birth experiences since 2021. Through this work, I’ve met other incredible experts in the Motherhood space and have began to build up a bank of knowledge on how we can make motherhood feel less chaotic and more happy and empowering. I’ve seen and felt the highs and lows of birth and motherhood and I don’t think anyone should go through the journey alone. So welcome, to ‘The Motherhood Guide: Birth and Beyond’, where I combine my knowledge and experience to help you feel seen, heard, reassured and supported. 

Join me for a new episode every Monday, with solo episodes and interviews with other experts in the motherhood space.
