In this episode of the Nurture Hub Pregnancy and Birth podcast, I dive into the profound impact that words and language have on pregnancy and birth experiences. We explore how common medical terms like “failure to progress,” “inadequate pelvis,” and “incompetent cervix” can undermine confidence and create fear, while positive language can empower, soothe, and build trust in your body’s ability to birth. We discuss how the words spoken to you by medical professionals, your birth team, and even yourself can influence your mindset, shape your beliefs, and affect your birth outcomes. Learn how Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Hypnobirthing use positive, empowering language to help you feel in control and confident. Plus, discover practical tools like affirmations and meditations to create a more positive mindset for birth. Ready to reclaim your birth experience with the power of language?
