Midwife at Your Cervix đ«Ą
A hypnobirthing podcast by me, Midwife Beth from The Bump to Baby Chapter.
If youâre feeling overwhelmed about birth, unsure how youâll cope with contractions, or in the dark about what to expect with your new baby and postnatal recovery, this podcast is for you.
As a practicing midwife, Iâve made it my goal to give you honest, evidence-based, and non-judgemental guidance on everything birth, bump, and baby. So you can feel calm, confident, and genuinely prepared.
This isnât just another pregnancy podcast. Inside, we go beyond the basics. I bring together hypnobirthing, biomechanics, and real antenatal education to help you understand how your body works in labour and how to work with it.
Iâll be busting birth myths, sharing real talk about labour and postpartum, and bringing in top-tier midwives to help you cut through the noise and feel in control.
If you want to feel ready for birth, not just hope youâll cope, youâre in the right place.

Your Brain Is Preparing You for Birth⊠Based on This
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 youâve 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.
Youâll learn how to reframe what youâve witnessed, reduce fear, and retrain your brain for a calmer, more confident birth.

You Want to Avoid an Epidural⊠But Youâre Nervous About the Pain
You want to avoid an epidural⊠but youâre nervous about how painful contractions might be.
In this episode of Midwife at Your Cervix, a birth podcast hosted by a practicing midwife, I talk you through exactly what Iâd 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 babyâs position (biomechanics), your mindset (hypnobirthing), your birth environment, and your understanding of whatâs happening in your body all play a huge role in how labour feels and how prepared you feel when it begins. This isnât about avoiding pain altogether, itâs 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, (https://thebumptobabychapter.co.uk/the-birth-chapter-course/) where I bring together mindset, biomechanics, and real antenatal education to help you feel properly ready for labour.
