  • The Pregnancy Diaries: Week 30 - Braxton Hicks? The 3-Part Theory to Shift Your Mindset for Labor Success
    Dec 18 2024

    Send us a text

    Are you preparing for labor and wondering how to feel calm and confident about the big day? Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, labor is as much a mental experience as it is a physical one.

    At 30 weeks pregnant with baby #2, Chelsea felt her first Braxton Hicks contractions—a wake-up call to the mindset work she’d been neglecting this time around. Inspired by Childbirth Without Fear by Dick Grantly Read, Chelsea explores how understanding your body’s natural design and the fear-tension-pain cycle can transform your mindset and help you approach labor with confidence.

    Tune in to discover:

    • The Fear-Tension-Pain Cycle: What it is and how breaking the cycle can reduce discomfort during labor.
    • How Your Body is Designed for Birth: Trusting the natural processes of childbirth to feel more in control.
    • Simple Steps for Mindset Prep: From affirmations to relaxation techniques, learn actionable ways to shift your mindset.

    This episode is a powerful reminder that labor is not just about physical preparation—it’s about mental readiness too. Whether you’re aiming for an unmedicated birth or simply want to feel more at peace, this conversation will leave you feeling informed, inspired, and empowered to take on labor your way.
