67- When Labor Starts: Don’t Panic... Do This Instead


Listen Later

🚨 Labor has started… now what?!

That first contraction can feel exciting—and a little overwhelming. But don’t worry, you’re not winging it. In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly what to do when labor begins, step-by-step—physically, mentally, and emotionally.


We’re covering:

✔️ The most common early labor mistakes (and how to avoid falling into those traps)

✔️ How to know when to REST and when to MOVE to support smoother labor progress

✔️ How to shift your mindset from fear to fierce confidence (because you were built for this!)

✔️ The right time to head to the hospital—without rushing in too early


Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, a home birth, or a VBAC, this episode will leave you feeling prepared, calm, and totally in control when the first wave hits.


You’ve got this, mama. Let’s get you ready to rock your labor from the very first contraction! 💪🌟
