Preparing for birth isn’t just about clothes and checklists. The emotional side of labour matters just as much—and can be harder to talk about.
Here are 5 ways to gently prepare your mind and emotions for what’s ahead:
Knowing what’s available - pain relief, birthing positions, midwife-led care etc can really helps reduce fear of the unknown.
Writing it down helps you feel more in control. Even if things change, you’ll have thought through what matters most to you.
Simple breathing, mindfulness, or hypnobirthing tracks can lower stress and build confidence.
Hearing real stories from mums you trust can bring reassurance and realistic expectations.
This one’s powerful. Take time each day to picture holding your baby. It helps keep you focused and grounded.
