Entering Motherhood: Pregnancy, Birth, and Postpartum Support

271. Nesting, Surrender, and Home Birth with Taylor Shaffer


Listen Later

Host Sarah Marie Bilger talks with Taylor, a holistic doula, about preparing for the final weeks of pregnancy, especially for home birth. They cover the hormonal progression before labor, shifting your mindset from doing to allowing, boosting oxytocin through rest and connection, and simple physical practices (gentle movement, Spinning Babies, prenatal bodywork).

Taylor also shares concrete home-birth logistics: organizing birth supplies, prepping your birth and postpartum space, clear partner instructions, nourishment plans, and essential items to have on hand for the first few days after birth. The episode blends emotional support with actionable advice to help you feel calm, supported, and ready.
