Show Notes
In this episode of Midwife at Your Cervix, we explore how what you see and hear about birth during pregnancy can shape your own labour experience - through the lens of your brain and hypnobirthing. If you’ve ever heard a woman in labour, watched a dramatic birth scene, or left a triage visit feeling anxious, this episode will help you understand why those moments stick and what your brain does with them. A s a midwife trained in hypnobirthing and biomechanics, Beth explains how the brain uses past experiences to predict birth, how fear responses can impact labour physiology, and why effective birth preparation goes far beyond breathing techniques.
You’ll learn how to reframe what you’ve witnessed, reduce fear, and retrain your brain for a calmer, more confident birth.
