Episode 59: Preparing your body for labour during pregnancy

In this episode, Jade and Alix are chatting all things birth prep, but not in a way that overwhelms or pressures you.

We're talking real, practical ways to support your body and mind in the lead-up to labour.

From movement and hydration to mental health and rest, we explore what actually helps and what’s just unnecessary noise (spoiler: perineal massage might not be the miracle you’ve been told it is).

We discuss:
👉 Why physical preparation matters—but doesn’t need to be extreme
👉 How hydration, nutrition and rest support your body in late pregnancy
👉 The truth about perineal massage (and why you can skip it if it’s not for you)
👉 Listening to your body and focusing on what feels right
👉 The power of tuning out the pressure and tuning in to yourself

This one’s perfect if you want to feel prepared—but not panicked—as your birth approaches.
