Ep 08 - Choices and the reality of birth with Charlie Edun
The Better Birth podcast is hosted by hypnobirthing and antenatal teacher Erin Fung. You can find out more about Erin at www.better-birth.co.uk. In this episode I chat to the wonderful Charlie Edun. Charlie, a doula and hypnobirthing teacher, is doing an MA looking at the dissonance between what we tell women about birth (e.g., choices) and the reality of birth (e.g, that it's largely institutionalised and coercive), and in this episode we explore the ideas around why we fear birth, how as antenatal educators we address this, and the structures that reinforce this message.
