Hannah Pearman-Eddon joins the podcast to talk about hypnobirthing, antenatal support, birth choices and building community for pregnant women in and around Bishop's Stortford.
Hannah is an antenatal and hypnobirthing coach, and also runs the Pregnant in Bishop's Stortford 2026 and 2027 Facebook group.
We talk about what hypnobirthing actually is, why birth does not have to be something people only talk about with fear, and how preparation can help parents feel more informed, calm and in control.
Hannah also talks about the importance of finding your village before the baby arrives, why new parents need connection early, and how local groups can make a real difference.
