In this episode, we recall my unmedicated (FTM) labor & delivery story of our favorite little guy! :) My hope in sharing this experience is 1. to encourage any pregnant mamas (or soon to be) out there who desire a 100% natural birth, but aren't quite sure what it would be like, or doubt whether they had the strength to accomplish it. And 2. I just personally wanted to be able to recall the details of this day and share with any friends and family members for years to come. :)

In short, I'd say the top 3 things that contributed to our wonderful experience are:
1. Trust God's design for childbirth. He literally created your body to birth babies!!!
2. Take Karen Welton's Pain Free Birth Class (mindset preparation is KEY)
3. Choose the right provider-- one who supports your desires for a natural birth and who loves childbirth at its core! The right energy in your birthing room is crucial. We absolutely LOVED Alba Birth Center (if you're in northern Wisconsin) or find midwives with similar values, if you're out of state! 

NATURAL BIRTH IS COOL. :) I hope you enjoy this episode and are encouraged. Whether this is your first birth or your 10th birth, YOU GOT THIS! 

*Side note, we do have a disclaimer near the beginning of this episode, but if you birthed your babies in any other way, you're not less-than! This is simply my experience being shared and the reasons behind why I chose this route!*
