Held - One More Breath

One More Breath 🤍

A short, comforting guided relaxation to help you find your focus, return to your breath and meet one moment at a time during labour and birth.

Sometimes, thinking about everything still to come can feel overwhelming.

How much longer?

What’s going to happen next?

Can I keep doing this?

One More Breath gently brings your attention away from everything ahead and back to the moment you’re in.

Through simple breathing, grounding and reassuring words, this recording offers you something familiar to return to when labour feels intense or your thoughts begin racing ahead.

You don’t need to think about the next hour.

Or the next stage.

Or everything that might happen.

Just this moment.

One breath in.

One breath out.

And when you’re ready, another.

This isn’t about controlling your labour or breathing in a particular way. It’s about finding a rhythm that feels comfortable for you and remembering that you can ask for whatever support you need.

You don’t have to hold the whole experience at once.

Just one moment.

One breath.

And then another.

Let yourself be Held. 🤍

Created and recorded by Kimberley Boyd — The Lincolnshire Doula.

A little note before listening 🤍

This is part of a 'Labour & Birth' collection of four recordings, you can purchase individually or as part of a bundle.

These recordings have been created to support relaxation, emotional wellbeing and preparation for labour and birth. They can be enjoyed alongside your usual maternity care but aren’t intended to replace individual advice or care from your midwife, doctor or other healthcare professional.

As these recordings encourage relaxation, please don’t listen while driving, operating machinery or anywhere you need to remain fully alert. During labour, always remain aware of your surroundings and the guidance of your care team.

However and wherever you are planning to birth, you are welcome here.

For personal use only. Please don’t copy, share or redistribute these recordings.

Total listening time across all four recordings: 1 hour 43 minutes 59 seconds.
