81. Hypnobirthing- It's Not As Weird As It Sounds- My Birth Plan + How I'm Prepping for Labor
Description
In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey as I prepare for my third childbirth—this time, leaning deeply into the practice of hypnobirthing. I open up about what this experience has been like for me, how I’ve used techniques like deep breathing, visualization, and affirmations to stay calm, and why I believe it’s so important to challenge the way we’ve been taught to think about labor and birth.
I also talk about some of the most common myths around birth—especially the idea that pain and fear are just part of the deal—and offer a different perspective rooted in trust, peace, and choice. Whether you’re planning a home birth or hospital birth, what matters most is creating an environment that supports you physically and emotionally.
In this episode, I share:
- How I’ve reframed my beliefs about pain, fear, and danger in childbirth
- The hypnobirthing tools I’ve found most powerful and how I use them
- What actually happens in the body during labor—and how mindset plays a huge role
- My thoughts on choosing between home and hospital birth here in Israel
- What I’ve learned about midwives, post-birth care at the milon, and navigating the birth system
- How I’m protecting my birth bubble and preparing to welcome this baby with joy
- What birth costs look like in Israel and how I’ve planned for it
- +so much more
Whether you’re pregnant, planning to be, or just curious about a different way to approach birth, I hope this episode inspires you to trust your body and your voice in the process.
