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! For more information on hypnobirthing please visit my website www.thenurturenest.co.uk or my Instagram page @the_nurture_nest.

Episode 12 - Letβs Talk About Pain
Monday Oct 19, 2020
Monday Oct 19, 2020
The episode talks about why pain is such a bad word, why we should ignore those people who tell us how βpainfulβ labour is and how hypnobirthing can help to reduce pain during labour. I also talk about some of the pain relief options that are available to you because hypnobirthing is not anti pain relief AT ALL.

Episode 8 - Special Episode - How I Exclusively Pumped for 1 Year
Monday Aug 17, 2020
Monday Aug 17, 2020
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.
There isn't loads of information available about exclusively pumping, which is why I wanted to record my story as well as give some of my top tips.

Episode 7 - Interview with a Birth Partner
Sunday Aug 09, 2020
Sunday Aug 09, 2020
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.
