The Birth Conversation Every First Time Mum Should Hear | Debra Pascali-Bonaro

<p>If someone told you birth could feel pleasurable, would you believe them?</p><p>For most women, the words orgasmic birth sound impossible, confronting or even unbelievable.

When Everyone Has an Opinion About Your Pregnancy

<p>The moment you find out you&#39;re pregnant, the advice begins.</p><p>What supplements should you take? Which birth class should you choose? Should you create a birth plan? What should you eat? How should your baby sleep? What pram should you buy?</p><p>Suddenly, everyone has an opinion and before you&#39;ve even met your baby, it can feel like you&#39;re already getting motherhood wrong.</p><p>In this episode, we&#39;re talking about the overwhelm that so many first time mums experience in pregnancy. The endless research, the conflicting advice, the social media rabbit holes and the pressure to make the &quot;perfect&quot; decisions.</p><p>I&#39;ll share why information overload can actually disconnect us from our confidence, how to filter advice without spiralling and why trusting yourself doesn&#39;t mean ignoring expert guidance but it means learning to hear your own voice amongst the noise.</p><p>If you&#39;ve ever found yourself lying awake at night wondering if you&#39;re doing enough, researching one more thing before bed, or feeling more confused the more information you consume, this episode is for you.</p><p>Because motherhood isn&#39;t a test you need to pass.</p><p>And sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop searching for another answer and start listening to yourself.</p><p><br></p><p>Follow my Instagram for more doula / pregnancy content through the week! <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tanikalace/">⁠@tanikalace⁠</a></p><p>Follow my TikTok for BTS of mum life<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tanikalace">⁠ @tanikalace⁠</a></p><p>Apply to share your conception journey, birth or postpartum story here</p><p><a href="https://tally.so/r/D4ee7Z">https://tally.so/r/D4ee7Z</a></p>
