There’s a lot of confusion around birth. All of my friends had very different experiences and very different opinions, so I found myself doing a lot of research. In the conversations I had with the people I trust, Elizabeth’s name kept coming up. I gave her a call and instantly felt a connection. I knew immediately this is who I wanted to walk me through this process, and although we decided to do a hospital birth, I knew I wanted to make it as close to a home birth as possible. In this episode we discuss the difference between a midwife and a doula, how past triggers can negatively effect your birth, feeling seen and heard, how to make an epidural empowering, why I absolutely could not have gone through this process with just my doctor, AND we answer some of your questions.

We also discuss the importance of the emotional impact that the pregnancy, labor and birth can have on the mother and as a result the effects on the newborn baby.

This is a fun podcast for me because I have been on (literally) the whole journey with Jeni and Monique. I supported them with their conception and then they chose to birth with the GraceFull Midwives to have an unmedicated out of hospital birth. Their plans changed when they found out their child was breech; but, we are very lucky in Los Angeles because we have an amazing doctor in town who will support unmedicated vaginal breech births in the hospital. This podcast is choc-o-bloc filled with great information about same-sex couple conception, using acupuncture for conception (thank you Susan Minich!) IUI and vaginal breech birthing (thank you Dr. Emiliano Chavira). We hope you find this episode as inspirational and fun as we did! _________ For more information about me, Elizabeth Bachner, go to GraceFull.com or follow us: @gracefullbirth or @BigBirthJunkie.

Becky is an active and healthy person, so she assumed pregnancy and birth would come easily to her. Instead, she was met with many complications and challenges that forced her to slow down and take it easy as she was on modified bed rest and medicated until she made it to 36 weeks. Becky experienced prodromal labor and daily contractions for the last 8 weeks of her pregnancy. When her son was finally born at 39 weeks, he came very quickly. In the immediate post-partum at the hospital, she experienced a severe post-partum hemorrhage and lost 3/4 of her blood supply because her cervix was torn during birth. The postpartum recovery was challenged by a lack of support after almost losing her life during birth. She found that people asked about the baby, but not about her and she had to return to work 6.5 weeks after giving birth. As you can imagine, she was still very much healing physically and mentally. Yes, a lot happened. Becky women are strong, and Becky is able to resource how resilient and strong she was during her son's birth. She reminds herself to this day that she was able to remain calm and do what needed to be done to save her and her baby. A real lot happened at the birth of her son, but she knows that she can handle anything now and that she will do anything she can for her child. _________ For more information about our hostess, Elizabeth Bachner, go to GraceFull.com or follow us: @gracefullbirth or @BigBirthJunkie.
