There may be several reasons why the thought of childbirth makes you fearful

There may be several reasons why the thought of childbirth makes you fearful. The main one though is probably what you may have heard from well meaning people talking about their own experiences. You tend to hear more negative stories than positive ones which can make your anxiety levels go through the roof!

If you want to read some positive birth stories, scroll down my page as I have a post with hundreds of them in the comments.

Labour is a progressive thing. Your body is working towards an end goal which is to birth a baby. As labour progresses it intensifies, especially during the transitional stage but this just means you are getting closer and closer to the birth and about to meet your baby!

There are many ways in which you can remove the fear from childbirth and replace it with calmness, confidence and positivity. One way is to complete a hypnobirthing programme to help change your mindset, and provide the tools and techniques to have a positive birth experience. These include mental, physical and environmental factors. Click the link in my bio to watch a short video explaining more about hypnobirthing and details of my online course.
