Text Your Birth Bestie

Do you feel nervous or anxious for your upcoming hospital birth?

I think it’s safe to say every pregnant woman has been there too. The unknowns of when labor will start, exactly how delivery will go, and the transition to postpartum are so familiar.
In this episode, we’re diving into the common, yet often unspoken, topic of anxiety during pregnancy, especially as your due date approaches. Including:

• Discover why anxiety is a common, natural emotion during pregnancy…
• Learn the power of positive visualization to boost your confidence for birth…
• Get insider knowledge on hospital policies and procedures to reduce anxiety…
• …and provide practical steps for a peaceful, anxiety-free birth journey.

Pregnancy is a journey filled with uncertainties, but anxiety doesn’t have to overshadow this special time. By acknowledging your feelings, embracing self-awareness, and utilizing tools to approach your worries with curiosity, you can navigate your hospital birth with confidence and a sense of control.
