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.

Should I do a Hypnobirthing Course?
Monday Jan 24, 2022
Monday Jan 24, 2022
Today's episode is a short and sweet solo one from me! I get asked a lot what sort of hypnobirthing course to do, when in pregnancy should you do a course and even if a course is necessary. Because I get asked a lot, I figured many of you are probably wondering the same, so I have answered these questions in today's episode.

Birth Story: A Quick, Positive Second Labour
Monday Jan 10, 2022
Monday Jan 10, 2022
First episode of 2022!
I spoke to listener Jo, all about her two birth experiences. Her first left her feeling scared about going through labour again, that was until she discovered hypnobirthing. She went on to have a very calm, positive birth with her second child.
Thank you so much to Jo for sharing her story with me.

Predicted Baby Weight - What impact can this have?
Monday Oct 18, 2021
Monday Oct 18, 2021
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?
AS ALWAYS - please remember I am not medically qualified. Please always ask your caregivers lots of questions and ask them for any risks and what that specifically means for you. We are all individuals and so our level of risk will be different.

Physiological Birth with Kemi Johnson
Monday Sep 06, 2021
Monday Sep 06, 2021
Today's episode is so exciting. I chat to birth keeper, doula, hypnobirthing teacher and Independent Midwife, Kemi Johnson all about what physiological birth is, how we can best achieve it and why the current maternity system is letting us down.
This episode is honest and harsh at times. But it is so important that you listen so you are aware of the system you find yourself in, and how you can protect yourself against it.
