68- Breathing Techniques for Every Stage of Labor


Listen Later

Did you know the way you breathe during labor can literally transform your entire birth experience?

Your breath isn’t just about getting oxygen—it’s one of the most powerful tools you have to ease pain, stay grounded, and help your body work in sync with your contractions.

When you know how to use it, your breath becomes your secret weapon.


In this episode, we’re diving deep into:

🌬️ The best breathing techniques for early labor, active labor, and transition (and when to switch it up)

🌬️ The science behind breathwork and why the way you breathe actually changes how you feel pain

🌬️ The biggest breathing mistakes people make (and how to quickly course-correct if you find yourself panicking)

🌬️ How your birth team—partners, doulas, and support people—can coach and guide your breath when you need it most


Whether you’re planning an unmedicated birth, a VBAC, a hospital birth, or anything in between—this episode will leave you feeling prepared, powerful, and ready to breathe your way through whatever labor throws at you.


Because when the waves get big, your breath will be your anchor. 🌊💨
