E234. Davina McCall - We've Forgotten How To Trust Our Bodies In Birth

Davina McCall: Why We've Forgotten How To Trust Our Bodies In Birth - with Davina McCall

Becoming a mother changes everything.

But what if the stories we've been told about birth aren't the whole truth?

In this week's episode, I'm joined by the incredible Davina McCall for a powerful conversation about pregnancy, birth, motherhood and learning to trust ourselves in a world that often tells women to do the opposite.

Davina shares her honest experiences of pregnancy, why she actually loved giving birth, the mindset shifts that transformed her labour experience, and why birth isn't simply one day- it's something that can shape how we step into motherhood for years to come.

We talk about fear, empowerment, body trust, positive birth stories, and why women deserve better information, support and confidence as they prepare to meet their babies.

Whether you're pregnant, planning a family or reflecting on your own birth experiences, this is a conversation that will leave you feeling stronger, more informed and deeply reassured.

If you'd like some help thinking through your options and creating a birth plan that truly reflects your preferences.
