Before I became a birth coach supporting thousands of women through pregnancy and birth, I was absolutely terrified of birth.

I had tokophobia (an intense fear of pregnancy and childbirth), severe medical anxiety, vaginismus and trauma from a previous abusive relationship. I worked in the NHS and still managed to pass out at the sight of blood, needles and anything remotely medical.

So when I saw those two pink lines, my first thought wasn't excitement.

It was panic.

In this episode, I'm sharing the story behind Bump 2 Babies UK, how therapy and hypnobirthing changed my life, my experience with postnatal depression and why I'm so passionate about helping women build birth confidence today.

If you're scared of birth, overwhelmed by pregnancy or wondering whether confidence is something you'll ever feel, this episode is for you.

Because birth confidence isn't something you're born with.

It's something you build.

Babe, I've got you.

If you're pregnant and want to feel calm, confident and fearless about birth, you're in the right place.

Description

Birth, Babe🪩💋

Welcome to Birth, Babe. The podcast for women who are done hoping birth goes well and ready to actually prepare for it.

I'm Megan Woollard, founder of Bump 2 Babies UK, award-winning birth coach, NHS worker since 2015, mum of two and trusted by thousands of women worldwide to help them swap fear for confidence when it comes to birth.

Every week we'll be diving into honest conversations about pregnancy, birth, hypnobirthing, induction, caesareans, birth choices, confidence, mindset and everything nobody seems to explain properly.

No fearmongering.

No fluffy nonsense.

No pretending birth is all whale music and women moaning gracefully in birthing pools.

Just practical tools, real education and the confidence that comes from actually understanding what's happening in your body and your options.

So if you're lying awake at 2am wondering how the hell you're going to get a baby out of your body, feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or secretly shitting yourself about labour whilst telling everyone you're "fine"...

You're in exactly the right place.

Because birth confidence isn't something you're born with.

It's something you build.
