FEAR. Most of us experience some fear when approaching a birth. It’s practically taught to us. It’s in the cultural ether, passed down in the stories we hear, and the media depictions of birth.

But maybe your fear comes from a place of having had a previous traumatic birth experience. How do you cope with that? Is it possible - maybe even necessary- to be completely over your fear? Will being afraid of birthing again mean you will manifest a bad birth experience?

In this episode, Diana talks about all of those questions and more. She shares her personal journey with fear in both of her pregnancies and births, and shares her favorite, super practical coping strategies for coping with birth fears.
