Thinking about having a home birth (unmedicated birth) - or already planning one - and wondering how to actually prepare for it without feeling overwhelmed or anxious? In this episode, I’m sharing 7 practical tips and mindset shifts that helped me walk into labor feeling grounded, calm, and ready.
From creating a soothing birth space and practicing pain-coping techniques, to training your body like you’re preparing for a marathon (because you kind of are), this episode is filled with things I wish more women knew before giving birth. I also talk about the power of affirmations, building the right support team, and how to mentally prepare for the unknown while still feeling confident in your plan.
Whether it’s your first baby or your third, I hope this gives you the encouragement and tools to prepare for a truly peaceful, unmedicated birth.
