I recently attended a birth that was vastly longer than any other I supported.  Throughout the 57 hours of support I offered to mom; I observed, remembered and learned important lessons that I think can help an expecting a parent.

In this episode, I talk about:
  • The value of well-rounded childbirth education.
  • Ways a doula can make for a positive birth experience.
  • The value of rest in early labor.
  • When an epidural is a great idea.
  • Avoiding trauma when you deviate from the birth plan.
  • The power of mindset in labor.
