Birth Mindset for Labour: How to Feel Unshakable Before Birth with Danae Birth Doula
Positive Pregnancy, Birth and Motherhood by Pop That Mumma founder of Birth Box and Oxytocin BubbleShow Notes
Get ready for a killer episode!! Today I'm joined by highly experienced birth doula, Danae Cappelletto, who has supported over 650 births.
We talk about birth mindset, preparing for labour, working with pain, building mental strength and how to feel more unshakable going into birth.
We also explore the deeper side of birth preparation, from physical readiness and resilience to fear, flow state and learning how to trust yourself in labour.
This is a powerful conversation for anyone wanting to feel stronger, calmer and more prepared for birth.
And, as always, a huge thank you to our sponsor, Bugaboo, for making this episode of the Positive Pregnancy, Birth & Motherhood podcast.

This has been on my mind for quite a while now, and I really wanted to share it with you all here.
A short episode to explain my album of tracks, The Oxytocin Bubble.
So many of us are used to just pulling out our phone and getting answers almost immediately about anything when asking AI. But what about when we do we this for our pregnancy and labour related questions? In this episode, I’ll be sharing: - How I used AI myself during pregnancy and even during labour, as a childbirth educator and doula - Why constantly checking with AI for reassurance might be eroding your trust in yourself - The moment AI told me my baby’s head was crowning when it definitely wasn’t - The importance of tuning into your body and using your intuition to get the answers - The false confidence in AI’s answers, and why fact-checking against credible sources still matters - When AI can actually be useful during this time
Those early days with a newborn are such a big transition, both for you after the birth and for your baby as they move from womb to world.
In this episode, I'm joined by journalist and author Molly Forbes, whose work is dedicated to helping families raise body-confident kids in a culture that constantly judges bodies.
