Cristina Pedroche shared yesterday that she is just over two months from welcoming her baby. The recent public figure, who is expecting her first child with partner and chef Dabiz Muñoz, had confirmed the pregnancy in December of the previous year and has since spoken openly about the steps she is taking to prepare for birth.
She explained that mornings are dedicated to a birth preparation course, rising early to participate. She also mentioned turning to several books on childbirth as valuable resources in the lead-up to the delivery.
In the laSexta community, a Vallecas resident suggested a technique sometimes labeled as hypnobirthing, a term Pedroche clarified early on. He emphasized that this approach does not involve hypnosis. He noted that the word was dropped because it could conjure odd associations in people’s minds.
Pedroche described the method as focusing on controlled breathing and steady meditation, practices she already tends to rely on. She added that the technique encourages a consistently positive mindset during pregnancy, though she clarified her own view on contractions. She said there can be uterine waves rather than a traditional fear of labor, emphasizing a calm, mental balance as part of the process.
The idea, she explained, is to ride the natural rhythm of pregnancy with awareness. When a wave of sensation arises, she imagines catching it and riding it with focus. Nature provides moments to pause, breathe, and find relaxation as part of the experience. The exchange prompted a playful quip from Dani Mateo, who joked that what might be offered is not an epidural but a different kind of barrier. The family conversation continued with light humor as they discussed whether such tools would be needed.
Ultimately, the dialogue framed childbirth as a personal journey that blends preparation, mental focus, and physical awareness. The ongoing discussion around birth techniques reflects a broader trend toward informed, hands-on parenting choices that many expectant parents explore in the weeks leading up to delivery. The emphasis remains on practical strategies and emotional readiness, with a touch of humor and shared experiences among friends and family.
