THE PANIC PLAN
THE PANIC PLAN
What to do step-by-step if your brain hits the I CAN'T DO THIS button in labour.
IF YOU’VE CAUGHT YOURSELF WONDERING…
What if all the birth prep disappears out of my brain the second things get real?
What if somebody asks me a question and my mind just goes blank?
What if I just start saying yes to things because I can't think straight?
What if I hear myself saying "I can't do this"... and mean it?
What if I don't cope as well as I hope I will?
If any of those feel familiar... this is for you.
And yes, panic sometimes shows up.
Labour is a big, intense thing and your brain might have a few thoughts about that.
The Panic Plan isn't about never panicking.
It's about knowing that if your brain suddenly decides:
Absolutely not thank you very much.
You've already got a way back.
so that if:
- someone starts talking quickly and your brain suddenly feels very loud...
you know how to slow things down.
- the plan stops being the plan...
you don't feel like you've disappeared.
- somebody asks a question and your mind goes blank...
you know what matters and what you want to ask next.
- things feel bigger than you expected...
you know how to find your footing again.
- your brain starts shouting: "I can't do this."
you have something to hold onto until it passes.

GRAB THE PANIC PLAN NOW
Because I don't think most of us are scared of birth itself.
I think we're scared of the moment we look around and think:
I can't do this.
I've done this twice.
And yes - I panicked in moments both times.
The difference wasn't that I stayed calm.
The difference was that I had a way back.
This is that.

Yours for keeps.
PS: If your birth partner’s been a bit:
“I’ll work it out on the day…” this is for them too 🤍
