Just want to say a huge thank you for this podcast after an incredibly healing and empowering second birth experience, at home. It truly means the world to me that I got the birth I had dreamed of but wasn’t quite sure really existed. Listening to and learning from this podcast definitely helped....Read full review »

I love this podcast! From positive birth stories to making informed choices. Th pod cast helped me advocate for myself throughout my pregnancy loss, full term pregnancy and my glorious birth. I honestly couldn’t have envisioned such a great birth without all of these wonderful women. Hope to...Read full review »

As a first time mum to be, I have loved this podcast! Was hooked from the first one! Since listening, I feel confident enough in myself to opt for a home birth! Not that it is at all pushed in this podcast as the best option - I actually feel in general the podcast is quite impartial and...Read full review »

Such a great podcast. Informative / interesting / so helpful! Thank you

During my first pregnancy I knew I didn’t want lots of medical intervention with my birth, I began reading and researching into other avenues and came across this podcast! It was amazing and empowering and led me to having a beautiful water birth with no drugs what so ever! Less than two years...Read full review »

This podcast has been brilliant in helping me prepare for birth, particularly thinking about different birth scenarios and helping me get into a positive mindset ❤️

I attended a hypnobirthing course in complete ignorance, not even realising birth partners were meant to attend! Following the course I really bought into the philosophy, and this podcast was great for keeping teachings in my mind as we approached full term. Some great guests as well, and I made...Read full review »

I listened to Claire’s podcast starting around 15 weeks pregnant, it was my go to on my commute to work. I feel so educated, informed, and empowered after listening to it through the end of my pregnancy. I achieved a positive unmedicated hospital birth using hypnobirthing and tell everyone about...Read full review »

Love the host’s energy and the format of the show. Discovered this podcast at seven weeks pregnant. It has already helped me feel much more serene, excited and empowered about birth! Listening to other people’s stories, with minimal interjection or “making it about me”itis that’s unfortunately...Read full review »

Very helpful information on how to have a peaceful and calm birth

Only women can give birth. We are not birthing persons. We are WOMEN.
JMFow via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/24
After listening to this podacst, I had a beautifully successful, unmedicated hospital birth. I recommend this podcast to anyone I know trying to conceive or expecting! It’s a wonderful tool for anyone, and explains what to expect in such great depth through the various birth stories and guests....Read full review »

So grateful for these conversations! I’m often jarred by the ads that interrupt the amazing content like birth stories and meditations, without any warning or transition
Pursuit of Life via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/06/23
An abrupt and loud advertisement in the middle of a hypobirthing session really derails the mind… I can’t use the podcast for labor or labor prep purposes if I’m worried there will be an interruption. There are a lot of free meditations out there without advertisements. Sorry :(
Sarriee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/23
I enjoyed this podcast as I started listening to the first few episodes of Clare sharing tips / explaining key info, which to be fair she does well. What has turned me off is that during the episodes with a relaxation or meditation track, there is always an abrupt interruption for Clare’s advert...Read full review »

Honestly I’ve listened from the first episode to the most recent twice over now. I’m a FTM and 37 weeks pregnant. I knew I wanted to do hypno birthing from the second I found out I was pregnant but I have the concentration levels of a squirrel😂 listening to this podcast whilst going about daily...Read full review »

I’ve listened to this podcast from early pregnancy and it’s amazing. So informative, so educational and also light heart and easy to listen too! Really interesting guest speakers and really positive birth stories which are lovely to hear. So many different topics covered which are so important...Read full review »
Jess147147 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/07/23
This is a must listen for any pregnant woman. I am 27 weeks pregnant and have been listening for about 2 weeks from the start, and my mindset has changed so much in that short time frame. I am a FTM and have gone from being absolutely terrified to excited to giving birth. I have already read one...Read full review »
fpower91 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/04/23
I’m not sure if it’s an option to get this without ads. I was thoroughly engrossed in the candle meditation until suddenly a ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK AD interrupted. I laughed out loud. No longer relaxed, but I am amused.
ashcourts via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/06/23
I’m due to give birth very soon and have been listening to this podcast regularly over the past few weeks. It’s been a great source of information and reassurance - helping me to prepare for labour and emphasising our body and minds’ natural capacity to go through this. Many thanks, Claire!
Fidgi R via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/30/23
Claire is a brilliant hypnobirthing teacher who gives supportive and insightful advice. I’ve been listening every day throughout my second and third trimester and it helps me to feel positive, calm and in control of my pregnancy and pending labour. Can’t recommend Claire’s podcast and classes...Read full review »

So refreshing to hear all this guidance and wisdom on birthing children, which should be inherently physiological but is now over medicalized. Great resource for mamas and papas to-be and those who already have had less than ideal births and would like to be empowered for the next one. 🙌🏻🎉
HiFromNas via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/15/23
Crucial and wonderful to hear positivity around birth. Great regardless of the type of birth you plan to or end up having.
Beka89 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/23
So helpful and informative

I studied hypnobirthing for my first pregnancy and had a wonderful birth experience. Listening to this podcast boosted my belief in the power of hypnobirthing. Now in my second pregnancy I look forward to each episode. 💙💖
lcorri01 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/31/23
I came across this show at the perfect time — for most of my pregnancy I had been very anxious about birth & avoided thinking about it as much as possible! But a few weeks into my third trimester a friend shared her really positive birth story with me & that sent me down a different path....Read full review »

I’ve started listening to this podcast while I am 24 weeks pregnant with my first baby. It is really calming to listen to Claire discuss how to prepare for birth, and also hearing the stories she shares with other of their birth stories. I really enjoy hearing first hand stories from...Read full review »
Ktb89 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/10/23
In the middle of the podcast she said whether you “breast feed or chest feed a baby…” How can I take anyone seriously who doesn’t know that ONLY women with breasts, breast feed? I’ve listened to a few episodes and I’ve noticed she talks about how great hypnobirthing is but hasn’t said exactly...Read full review »

I used this podcast for my second baby as I tried some hypnobirthing for my first baby but felt I didn’t use the techniques as much as I would have liked. The stories gave me a lot of confidence to challenge any decisions/suggestions during labour and what can actually help labour to...Read full review »
Emily_H89 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/19/23
I’ve listened to the first few episodes of this podcast and think it’s brilliant - I initially thought I might want to skip straight to a hypnobirthing course and wasn’t sure if I’d get much from the podcast given its aim isn’t to teach Hypnbirthing, but I’m so glad I listened. It’s incredibly...Read full review »
L Fahmy via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/09/23
I love listening to all the episodes for hypnobirthing HOWEVER the episode with Kemi Johnson was the biggest case of scaremongering I have ever ever experienced. She is so anti NHS and it was so terrifying to know that new mums may listen to that and it will scare them so much that they will not...Read full review »

I found this pod during the final weeks of my second pregnancy. I’m so happy I did! It was informative and so positive to hear each episode. I highly recommend this podcast to any and all pregnant women around me.
Hairstylist1616 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/02/22
Really enjoyed some of these episodes. I think it’s important that we don’t demonize hospitals or medical professionals. The intentions of which are to keep both mum and baby safe in the majority of circumstances. They have valid input and years of experience and where I'm sure there is room...Read full review »

Thank you so much. I found this podcast a few weeks ago.

I have devoured this podcast since I found it a month or two again. Due to give birth for 3rd time next week and I’ve found this podcast so helpful, particularly to compliment other hypnotbirthing books I’ve been reading. More positive birth stories please! X
jumbleleaf via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/11/22
I LOVE Claire’s brilliant hypnobirthing podcast — complete essential for any mother to be. I only started listening with my 3rd pregnancy, and just wished I had her knowledge for my previous pregnancies! I recommend to all my pregnant friends.
mothermack via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/07/22
I love the variety of topics, especially other people’s positive birth stories. We hear so many negative things about birth so it was so helpful to hear so many positive stories while I was pregnant and how these people utilized hypnobirthing! Thank you Claire!
HeatherV2383 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/06/22
I absolutely love this podcast and it’s kept me company throughout many a dog walk during my pregnancy. I had my little girl 5 days ago via c-section and I honestly believe that all these positive birth stories and prep have helped me have the most wonderful caesarean experience. She was born to...Read full review »

I am pregnant with my first child and heard hypnobirthing was all the rage. Curious about what it was, I did some digging and found Claire’s podcast - and I’m so glad I did! Listening to this podcast helps me better understand the importance of language and mindset, and allows me to feel more...Read full review »

I just started listening last week at 27 weeks and it feels like an audiobook that I can’t put down. I’ve gotten to the 20th episode and have really enjoyed the information. I previously completed another hypnobirthing course for my first daughter, 3 years ago, and wanted something to refresh my...Read full review »

I started listening to this podcast when I first found out I was pregnant and I was super overwhelmed and petrified at the thought of birth.

Matilda_AUS via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/06/22
Loved listening to these when I was pregnant, really informative and Claire is very knowledgeable and personable. Even if you don’t adopt all the elements of hypnobirthing, listening to these podcasts will help you go through the process being more informed and confident about birth. I genuinely...Read full review »

Maybe an unfair review as I couldn’t get past the first 5 minutes of ‘what is hypnobirthing’. As someone who has absolutely no idea what it is but keeps hearing it, I was engaged and eager to listen and learn. However she spent 5 entire minutes talking about ‘assumptions’ of what people think it...Read full review »

I am 16 weeks and just stumbled across this podcast. After having some fears around childbirth but desperately wanting to change the narrative and have the most positive experience possible, I have found these episodes to be so helpful and so reassuring. I was planning to do Hypnobirthing anyway...Read full review »

Really love this podcast. Started from 34 weeks pregnant and have been binge listening. Definitely more confident about my up coming vbac!
Shuyue Xiao via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/01/22
Frequently tells you to do research and take a hypo birthing class - what’s the point of the podcast if to not provide information?
Audrey6894 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/31/22
What a warm, kind and thoughtful podcast. I really enjoy listening to Claire discuss all of these super important topics on birthing. The resources on hypnobirthing, mindset and more are so great and appreciated! Can't wait to dive in to more podcasts. Thanks!Read full review »
Jen @ GoDiaperFree via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/27/22
I came across Claire’s podcast at the beginning of my pregnancy knowing very little about Hypnobirthing. I have since completed 2 courses and listened to all the episodes. I am almost at the end of my pregnancy and am so grateful to have had these podcasts. Claire and her guests have been a big...Read full review »
