In today’s episode, I’m joined by Emy, a listener who shares her beautifully calm and instinct-led first birth story. Originally from Sweden and now living in Bristol, Emy talks about how hypnobirthing helped her prepare mentally, release fear, and embrace the unknowns of birth with confidence and positivity.

From early surges at home to a magical birthing suite experience, Emy’s story is full of empowering moments, supportive instincts, and wonderful reminders of how important it is to trust your body. This is a birth story you won’t want to miss—especially if you’re preparing for your first birth.

A huge thank you to Emy for sharing her story so openly!
