E20: Doulas, Home Births and Hospital Births: How Doulas Support Calm, Confident Births

In this episode of the Best For Baby Podcast, I’m joined by experienced doula Emma Inglefield, founder of By Your Side Doula, to explore how doulas can completely transform your pregnancy, birth, and postnatal experience. If you’ve ever felt anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure about childbirth, this conversation will open your eyes to what’s truly possible. Emma shares what a doula actually does, how to prepare for a calm and confident birth and the powerful role of mindset, environment, and support during labour. We also dive into birth choices, including home birth vs hospital birth, the realities of induction, and how to feel informed and in control of your decisions. Whether you’re pregnant, planning a baby, or supporting someone who is, this episode will help you feel more empowered, informed, and confident. 💛 Key Takeaway Birth doesn’t have to be something you fear. With the right preparation and support, it can be a calm, empowering, and positive experience whatever path your birth takes. 🔗 Resources & Links Connect with Emma Inglefield: https://www.byyoursidedoula.co.uk/ Free virtual coffee mornings for mums: https://www.byyoursidedoula.co.uk/vir...
