This week we are revisiting one of our most listened to episodes, ever! This Christmas we wanted to give you the gift of information - and this episode is packed FULL of info we want you to know! We get asked often in our community about preparing for labor and delivery, which is why we recorded this episode in 2022 and thousands of you have listened. We wanted to provide moms listening with tangible tips, so that you can set yourself up for success. During the episode we heard from people that are really excited about the labor and delivery experience, others that were terrified, and everything in-between. Whether you’ve listened to this one before or you’re hearing it for the first time, it’s our hope that you take away some new knowledge to prepare for your next labor and delivery!

If you like this episode, we have so much more for you inside of our Prepping for Labor + Delivery Online Course. You can get the course here and we can’t wait to support you in your labor and delivery!

If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag us @expectingandempowered. As we like to say, knowledge is power, and we just really want to give more people the information that they may need on their childbirth journey!
