Podcasts about 'love your birth'

Ep 104 Description:  “Women know how to birth their babies, like their bodies know how to breathe and their hearts know how to beat. We just have to get out of its way.” —Anne Many of the words that come to mind when thinking about birth reflect the fear and medicalization perpetuated by modern society. Terms like "painful," "dangerous," and "emergency" portray childbirth as something to be endured or avoided rather than a natural process. This stems from the widespread use of interventions like induction, epidurals, and cesarean section that have stripped birth of its innate beauty and turned it into a clinical event. By challenging these prevalent narratives and embracing midwifery models of care, women can reclaim birth as a profound, empowering life experience rather than something to dread or "survive." This week, we are joined by Anne Margolis, a licensed certified nurse midwife and yoga teacher with over 28 years of experience helping mothers have natural and healing birth experiences. She advocates for a holistic, trauma-sensitive approach to childbirth that empowers women.   Tune in as Debra and Anne discuss the medicalization of childbirth and its impact on women's empowerment and pleasure, the importance of autonomy and trust in the birthing process, the role of midwives in providing emotional support and trauma-sensitive care, the power of a positive mindset during childbirth, and more!

A positive birth experience can mean different things to different people. Your birth should be safe, empowering, and fulfilling according to what you feel is safe and empowering.Here are some key elements that can contribute to a positive birth experience:Empowering birth Education leads to being informed and in control: Knowledge allows you to know what to expect during labor and delivery, and feeling like you have a say in how things go, can help you feel more in control and less anxious. you techniques like breathing exercises, massage, and hydrotherapy can help manage pain and reduce stress during labor.Supportive caregivers: Having healthcare providers who listen to your concerns, respect your wishes, and provide personalized care can help you feel more supported and confident during labor and delivery.Minimal interventions: For women with low-risk pregnancies, avoiding unnecessary medical interventions like induction, episiotomy, and continuous fetal monitoring can help reduce the risk of complications and promote a more natural birth experience.Positive environment: Creating a calm and soothing atmosphere during labor and delivery, with low lighting, music, and familiar items from home, can help promote relaxation and reduce stress.Supportive partner: Having a partner or support person who is present and attentive during labor and delivery can help provide emotional support and encouragement.It's important to remember that every birth is unique and that you know you are in charge and you do not need to fear your birth.Resources: Grab a Free Pregnancy/Postpartum Checklist BundleConnect w/ Trish: On InstagramOn FacebookOn YouTubeOn Pinterest On TikTokFor more pregnancy & birth education, subscribe to The Birth Experience on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Next Steps with LNM:If you are ready to invest in your pregnancy & postpartum journey, you are in the right place.

Why do a small percentage of planned home births transfer to the hospital?  There are a number of reasons. In today's conversation with our friend Anne Margolis, certified nurse midwife and a powerhouse in the birth world. She has personally helped usher in over 1000 babies into the world. We've had her on the show a few times now and it's always magical to speak with her, because she ends up blowing our minds in some way when it comes to birth. We also discuss the importance of preparation for your home birth, particularly when it comes to preparing your mindset. The typical Western culture and approach to birth is very counterproductive to the experience of laboring and birthing a baby. So we talk about how we can minimize the “googling” and the overanalyzing that keeps us stuck in our heads, out of our bodies and in a fearful place. We also highly recommend that you follow Anne and check out all of her amazing resources for birthing people and parents.  Things we talk about in this episode: home birth to hospital transfer, birth preparation, mindset work, Western culture's approach to birth, first-time birthers and parents Links From the Episode: Anne's website: https://homesweethomebirth.com/ Anne's free mini-course: https://homesweethomebirth.com/gift Anne's Love Your Birth course: https://homesweethomebirth.com/love-your-birth-online-birthing-course Anne's courses (use the code DIAHOME for 10% off!): https://homesweethomebirth.com/my-online-courses   Offers From Our Awesome Partners: Needed: https://bit.ly/2DuMBxP - use code DIAH to get 20% off your order or DIAH100 for $100 off a Complete Plan   More From Doing It At Home: Doing It At Home book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3vJcPmU DIAH Website: https://www.diahpodcast.com/ DIAH Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doingitathome/ DIAH YouTube: https://bit.ly/3pzuzQC DIAH Merch: www.diahpodcast.com/merch Give Back to DIAH: https://bit.ly/3qgm4r9

In this episode we're sharing tips that we've picked up from talking to home birth moms who chose to have their kids present at their siblings birth. A number of moms on the show had their kids present when their siblings came into the world, and we thought it would be a great idea to share some of the creative ways they prepared their kids for childbirth. We're sharing 5 simple tips for preparing your kids for homebirth. We reference a few previous episodes in this podcast, including episode 49 - The 11 Pound Home Birth Baby with Natalie Bancroft and Laura Fifield, and an episode with Laura Drury which has yet to publish (but keep a look out for it). If you had your children present at your home birth, and have any additional advice for fellow listeners, we'd love to hear it!

In this episode, we’re talking with Catherine about her home birth. Catherine is a spunky, energetic mom of 2 from Canada. You can feel her enthusiasm through the speakers. Her lively nature and passionate storytelling captivates you. Catherine has a the perspective of hospital birth and a home birth. Cool fact: she got to use the same midwife for both births! And we’re honored to share that our show helped influence and support Catherine and her husband Carmen (who wasn’t so convinced to start off with) to choose a home birth. Their preparation process involved a lot of trust-building with the intention to protect the reverence of the birth experience. Isn’t that beautiful? And get this - Catherine and Carmen strategically chose not to tell anyone of their intentions to home birth. So everyone found out after baby arrived! We find this to be totally badass - being bold and true to yourself and going about things the way that resonates most with you. Catherine talks about how her home birth gave her the opportunity to open up and surrender more than she had in her first birth. Quotable from Catherine, “birth is reflective of your life.” Listen to how Catherine did what she calls “conquering pushing,” what it feels like to have a bowling ball between your butt and vagina (yes, we’re getting real, folks), and how your home birth can have lots of sandwiches.
