It’s the thing everyone is told to expect when you’re giving birth, and usually with an added dash of watermelons and nostrils thrown in for good measure. In this episode we’ll be ditching the misconceptions and talking about the reality of pain in labour (yes, it can hurt!) and how we might just be thinking about it in a really unhelpful way. In our usual unfiltered, honest and relaxed way, we talk about expectations of pain, provide some top tips for managing those expectations, explore what is ‘normal’ and go through some of the main ways to stay comfortable. Oh, and there’s a bit of added doula tattoo chat too!We hope you enjoy this episode, don’t forget to leave us a review and follow the podcast so you don’t miss any of our juicy birth chat!
