This episode is a special as it isn't about hypnobirthing or pregnancy, but instead it is about my pumping journey and why I ended up exclusively pumping for my daughter for 12 months.

In this week's episode, I sit down to interview a previous client of mine, Jim, who has been a birth partner for the birth of both of his children. He gives two different perspectives on being a birth partner, one where he felt helpless and quite scared and the second after they had done hypnobirthing, where he felt like he had a real role to play and ended up having an amazing experience. This episode really shows how hypnobirthing is for birth partners too.
