Today's episode is a little impromptu and is all about the prediction of your baby's weight. How can this affect your labour plans? And how can you navigate your way through this?

Predicted Baby Weight - What impact can this have?

This series is all about hypnobirthing and positivity around birth. I am a hypnobirthing teacher and a mum of two and am aware how much negativity there is around birth and it can be scary and daunting for parents to be. This series is a safe space for everything positive and will include some useful chat, inspiring guests and amazing positive birth stories.
If you are interested in hypnobirthing or you are pregnant and needing a positive space to visit - this is the podcast for you!
