Meconium in the Waters: Katie’s Empowering Shift from Home Birth to Hospital


Listen Later

In this episode of The Hypnobirthing Podcast, I’m joined by listener Katie, a first-time mum who laboured for a long time at home but ultimately ended up giving birth in hospital due to the presence of meconium in her waters.

Katie shares her beautiful and empowering story, walking us through her mindset as she prepared for a home birth and how she navigated the unexpected changes with calm and confidence. Even though her plans changed, she felt in control and supported throughout, thanks to her hypnobirthing techniques and a strong connection with her birth team.

We talk about:

  • How Katie prepared mentally and physically for her home birth
  • The moment her plans changed and how she handled the transfer to hospital
  • The role of her birth partner and support network
  • Using hypnobirthing tools to stay grounded and calm during labour
  • Reflections on her experience and advice to other first-time mums
  • Katie’s story is a wonderful reminder that birth doesn’t have to go exactly to plan to be a positive, empowering experience.
