Summary

In this episode, I’m chatting with Krysle, a mum of two, about her journey into hypnobirthing and how it shaped both of her birth experiences. We talk about how listening to positive birth stories changed her expectations, what it was like navigating hospital policies and monitoring, and how preparation helped her stay grounded and make informed decisions during labour. Krystle shares honestly about the mental side of birth, the importance of flexibility, and how trusting yourself can make a huge difference, even when birth takes unexpected turns. This is a really reassuring episode for anyone who wants a realistic but empowering perspective on preparing for birth.
