We start off by debunking some myths about hypnobirthing and move into speaking about why it’s so important to practice the hypnobirthing techniques during pregnancy. Anna explained what these techniques may look like and why they are quite effective. We ended off the episode by speaking about the importance of being the subject of your birth rather than an object and what hypnobirthing has to do with that. In the episode i also briefly mentioned the work of midwife Johanna who was actually also a guest on the podcast on episode 17 so if you want to hear more of what we spoke about, definitely have a listen to that episode.
