Building Birth Confidence
Building Birth Confidence is the podcast for anyone who is pregnant after a difficult birth, pregnancy loss, or traumatic experience, and who is scared, exhausted, and trying to find a way through.#
I’m Katie, an NHS Mental Health Midwife and Perinatal Trauma Specialist. Every week I bring you honest, clinically informed conversations about the things that rarely get said out loud: the fear, the guilt, the disconnect, the grief that comes with pregnancy after trauma. And the tools, the understanding, and the realistic hope that can make a real difference.
This is not a positive thinking podcast. This is a podcast for people who need more than reassurance. You deserve support that actually meets where you are.
New episodes every week. Start wherever feels right.
Building Birth Confidence
What If This Time Could Be Different?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When you’ve experienced birth trauma, hope can feel risky, even dangerous.
But what if preparing differently this time is the very thing that makes a different experience possible?
In this short, empowering episode, Katie offers a gentle mindset shift to help you explore the possibility of a better birth, and guides you through a short safe place visualisation to help activate calm, hope, and trust in yourself.
✨ What you’ll hear:
- Why your brain tries to predict a repeat of trauma
- How to gently introduce the idea of a new story
- A short visualisation practice to connect with safety and hope
You don’t have to be fearless to hope. You just need a little space to begin.
