In this episode I’m breaking down why birth pain feels so different from woman to woman, and how your body, your mind and your environment can either dial it up or calm it down. We’ll talk about: • Why pain in labour is visceral (you’re not imagining it) • How stress, fear and cultural conditioning can make it louder • The role of mindset, tools and expectation in changing your experience • How support — medical and emotional — shapes what you feelThis is the conversation nobody has properly: pain is not just something to grit your teeth through, it’s something you can work with.Feel birth confident: https://www.hypnobirthing-positive-birth.com/birthbox
