In this episode, Dr. Shannon and Doula Rachael discuss what it means to have a gentle and family-centered cesarean birth and why it is so important.  Having a gentle and family centered cesarean helps the birthing parents participate and feel more connected with their birth.  You can have an empowering and satisfying birth experience no matter how your birth unfolds.  Having a supportive care provider who practices true informed and shared decision making along with preparing during pregnancy for the possible variations that may occur during the birthing process can help you feel more at ease and confident as you prepare for your upcoming birth.  Toward the end of the episode we give a specific list of things to consider when planning for a gentle and family-centered birth.

In this episode, we will discuss the following:

• Why is having a family-centered/gentle cesarea important?
• Reasons you may need a planned cesarean
• Reasons you may need an unplanned cesarean during labor
• If you need a cesarean, what can you do to prepare in a meaningful and effective way?
• Planned cesarean vs emergency cesarean
• Shared and informed decision making tool - BRAIN acronym
• What are some things you can advocate for?

We're highlighting another favorite episode from 2021!  This one is all about creating your birth support team.  We've talked about this in a lot of episodes last year, so it's a great one to revisit!  Enojoy!

One of the goals of this podcast is helping mamas make informed decisions.  One way to do that is to surround yourself with knowledge and knowledgeable birth workers.  That’s why this episode is all about building your birth support team.  We dive deep into the many birth professionals you can surround yourself with which includes providers, doulas, chiropractors, physical therapists, counselors, educators, and more!  Rachael and Shannon love working with so many other birth professionals because mamas deserve to be heard and treated with respect, and sometimes that takes a village.  Everyone’s birth support team can look so differently, but we’re so excited to share our thoughts, our own experiences, and be sure to check out later episodes where we’ll interview other birth professionals.

This podcast was created from a desire to share conversations and interviews about topics from pregnancy and birth to motherhood and the importance of a healthy body and mind through it all.  Our goal is to bring you fun, interesting, and helpful conversations that excite you and make you want to learn more.  We hope what we share will make an impact and help someone else along their journey.  We believe that when you are aligned in body, mind, and your intuition, you can conquer anything!  If you like what you are hearing and you don’t want to miss our newest episodes, be sure and tap subscribe.

Happy 2022 friends! This episode is a throwback to one of our favorite (and top downloaded) episodes  of 2021…all about birth plans!

Creating a birth plan can be an overwhelming and intimidating process, but as Doula Rachael and Dr. Shannon discuss today, the process can be so important and beneficial.  In this episode we discuss our own personal birth plans (which happen to be very different from each other’s!) We share how we started the birth planning process and what we learned by creating those plans. We work to pull back the veil of misconceptions surrounding birth plans. Birth can be unpredictable but that doesn’t mean birth plans are pointless.  The process of creating a birth plan is greater than the plan itself.

Here you will learn how to “be the bamboo” when creating your birth plan and while navigating your non-linear path to giving birth.  You will also learn what to consider when creating your birth plan (IV fluids, cervical exams, monitoring, pain medications, comfort tools, delivery room environment, pushing, umbilical cord, placenta delivery, newborn care, and so much more!).

Birth does not have to go a certain way to be empowering. Your mental, emotional and educational preparation alongside respectful and supportive care will help you have the empowering birth experience you want and deserve.

This is a great combo of our personal and professional experiences.

Check out Rachael’s Video: “Birth Plans are Pointless! Or are they?”

This podcast was created from a desire to share conversations and interviews about topics from pregnancy and birth to motherhood and the importance of a healthy body and mind through it all.  Our goal is to bring you fun, interesting, and helpful conversations that excite you and make you want to learn more.

We hope what we share will make an impact and help someone else along their journey.

We believe that when you are aligned in body, mind, and your intuition, you can conquer anything!

As a chiropractor and doula, we spend a lot of time with expecting and newly postpartum mothers. There is a ton of information you need and want to know about preparing for nursing. In this episode, we are going to talk about nursing posture.  Nursing posture is just one component (of many) to learn more about and to bring awareness to during this time. 

In this episode we discuss:

• The importance of posture while nursing
• Our personal experiences with posture issues after giving birth and in those first couple of years after giving birth.
• Helpful tips for feeding sessions (pumping or chest/breastfeeding)
• Nursing positions
• Nursing pillows
• Stretches to help relieve and reduce tension in the chest, neck, shoulders, and back.
• Chiropractic care to relieve and reduce aches and pains and address nervous system function

This week we continue our interview with Pelvic Floor PT specialist Dr. Tina Harris.  Last episode we explored the specifics of pelvic floor PT, and how Dr. Tina approaches care.  So much of her care is related to her life’s story and journey, and that’s what we go into with this week’s episode.  She has experienced infant loss and pregnancy after loss.  She has dealt with subpar prenatal care and learned to advocate for herself.  And she combines this into what she gives through her organization, Competent Heart Perinatal Specialist. On top of that she is a best-selling author and also the founder of CH Expressions.  As someone who strives to help her clients create their birth support team, we are so thankful that she has dedicated her life’s work to the birthing community.

As a doctor of physical therapy, Dr. Tina is looking at her clients as a whole.  She looks at how they are functioning, and she takes it a step further to assess the health and overall function of the pelvic floor.  Now don’t worry if you don’t know what bones, muscles, or ligaments make up the pelvic floor, or if you only think of physical therapy in terms of “post-injury care”, or what breathwork has to do with pelvic floor PT because we talk about ALL of that and more in part 1 of our interview.  Not only does Dr. Tina assess prenatal patients for functional movement patterns and postpartum patients for bladder issues (and more!) but she also adds in expertise as a doula, reiki practitioner and acupressure instructor.  She created her organization, Competent Heart Perinatal Specialist to help the birthing community find their tribe, create their village, and to support and empower themselves.  

She’s an author, life-long lover of birth, has dealt with infant loss; she continues to expand her skills to combine her talents and passions for holistic wellness, pelvic health, and childbirth to guide individuals towards healing and alignment of their body, mind, and spirit.

What do the holidays and your due date have to do with each other? The rate of inductions dramatically increases in the days leading up to a major holiday...and the rate of babies actually born on major holidays dramatically drops. This is due to the fact that some care providers want to manage the course of your labor and control whether or not they are working on a holiday.

The goal is to help you learn more about this topic and feel prepared to advocate for yourself during those final weeks of pregnancy.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The importance of learning about due dates
• How far along we were when our babies were born
• How due dates are calculated
• The rate of inductions before major holidays
• Focusing on your “due month”
• Who can help support you during this time

Be sure to listen to our other episodes where we talk about building your birth support team and choosing a care provider:

Episode # 3: Building Your Birth Support Team 

Episode # 14: Choosing a Care Provider for Your Birth

This podcast was created from a desire to share conversations and interviews about topics from pregnancy and birth to motherhood and the importance of a healthy body and mind through it all.  Our goal is to bring you fun, interesting, and helpful conversations that excite you and make you want to learn more.

We hope what we share will make an impact and help someone else along their journey.
