In this special episode of the Breathe to Birth Podcast, Chloe guides you through a deep body scan meditation designed to help you settle into your body, release tension, and create a sense of calm and ease.

This gentle, grounding practice supports you to slow down, soften areas of holding, and reconnect with your breath, helping you feel more centred and at ease in both body and mind.

This is a meditation Chloe has shared with her community before and is now making available here for podcast listeners.

Whether you’re pregnant, preparing for birth, or simply in need of a moment to pause, this meditation offers a supportive space to breathe, relax, and reset.

Music: “Full Moon” by Hannah Rose

In this episode of the Breathe to Birth Podcast, Chloe explores why birth plans and preferences matter. Not as rigid checklists or guarantees, but as a way to feel informed, involved and supported in your birth.

Chloe shares why birth plans aren’t about controlling how birth unfolds, but about understanding your options, communicating what matters to you, and feeling able to take an active role in decision-making as labour progresses. She reflects on how preparation, clarity, and flexibility can change how birth feels, even when things don’t go exactly as expected.

This episode is an invitation to rethink birth plans as a tool for confidence and self-trust, rather than something that can “fail” if birth takes a different path.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Why birth plans are often misunderstood

• The difference between a rigid plan and meaningful preferences

• How birth plans can support calm and confidence in labour

• Practical tips for writing birth preferences that feel realistic and supportive

• How knowing your options can help you feel more involved in your birth
