On this episode of The MamasteFit Podcast Roxanne welcomes Briana to share her experience of a vaginal unmedicated birth at a freestanding birth center. Briana discusses the challenges she faced when she discovered her baby was breech at 36 weeks and the steps she and her husband took to turn the baby. They eventually opted for an external cephalic version (ECV) procedure which led to a successful head-down position for the baby. Briana then details her birth experience, from laboring at home to giving birth in a birthing tub, and her journey through a challenging postpartum period characterized by exclusive pumping. The episode also features helpful advice on navigating pregnancy and birth with confidence, plus support resources for postpartum recovery.
