Episode 134 - Two Births, Two Mindsets: Eliza’s Hypnobirthing Journey
In this episode, CI chat with Eliza, who shares her two very different birth experiences. Her first birth was straightforward but left her feeling shocked and overwhelmed. Determined to feel more in control second time around, she discovered hypnobirthing, and it completely changed everything.
Eliza talks about:
Why her “good on paper” first birth didn’t feel good
How hypnobirthing shifted her mindset
A calm, instinctive early labour at home
The incredibly fast birth that almost happened in triage
How understanding her body made all the difference
A powerful episode for anyone preparing for birth or looking for confidence after a difficult first experience.
