Why The Birth Plan Isn't Enough: What Real Birth Preparation Actually Looks Like

33 min17 juli 2026

Om avsnittet

Most women prepare for birth in their heads. But birth doesn't happen in your head.


In this episode, I'm joined by Sally Ann Beresford - doula of 24 years, award-winning author, and host of The Ultimate Birth Partner Podcast -  for an honest conversation about what's actually missing from birth preparation.


We unpack:

Why a checklist birth plan isn't enough and why a 'birth manifesto' is a better idea

Why knowing how you want to feel during labour matters more than what you want to happen

How to prepare your birth partner to actually support you

Why putting away the contraction timer might be the best thing you do

The difference between preparing for a home birth vs hospital

What physiological birth really means and why it's quietly disappearing

Why trusting your instincts matters
