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.

In today's episode I chat to Sophie about her birth story.
