When you hear the phrase “positive birth,” what comes to mind?

For many, it’s a calm, quiet birth that goes perfectly to plan, but that’s not the full story.

In this episode, Chloe explores what a positive birth really means, beyond the myths, the pressure and the picture-perfect version we so often see online. You’ll learn how feeling safe, supported and involved can completely change your experience of birth, even when things take a different path.

Together, we’ll talk about: • Why birth itself isn’t unpredictable, but our environment and support can be • How oxytocin and adrenaline affect labour (and why safety matters) • The power of sharing positive birth stories alongside difficult ones • The most common myths about “good” births and what really defines a positive one • How trust, confidence and connection shape the way we feel in birth

This episode is your reminder that positive birth isn’t about control or perfection, it’s about trust, safety and knowing you and your voice matter in the process.
