In this episode of Midwife at Your Cervix, a birth podcast hosted by a practicing midwife, I talk you through exactly what I’d say if I were your midwife- breaking down what actually makes labour feel more intense, and what you can do to better cope with contractions.


We cover how baby’s position (biomechanics), your mindset (hypnobirthing), your birth environment, and your understanding of what’s happening in your body all play a huge role in how labour feels and how prepared you feel when it begins. This isn’t about avoiding pain altogether, it’s about giving you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to work with your body, not against it.


This is exactly the kind of birth prep I go into inside The Birth Chapter - my online hypnobirthing course, where I bring together mindset, biomechanics, and real antenatal education to help you feel properly ready for labour.
