Birth Story: Unmedicated First-Time Birth During a Georgia Snowstorm


Listen Later

What happens when your due date collides with a snowstorm in Georgia?

When I first connected with Abby, I knew her birth story was going to be special, but GAH!! It’s so good and I just know it’s going to inspire every mama listening. As a first-time mom, she navigated early bloody show, a surprise snowstorm, and nearly three days of labor with an amazing, calm, grounded intuition that’s absolutely contagious.

From the nausea that knocked her off her feet in the first trimester to the “crunchy-meets-medical” compromise she and her husband made for a hospital birth with a doula, we walked through the nitty gritty of pregnancy and labor, the most common issues every couples deal with for pregnancy & birth, and the incredible birth story she gets to share with all of you. You’ll hear:

  • The physical prep (yes, we’re talking deep squats in the shower and red raspberry leaf tea) and the mental prep that helped her stay strong through every stage.

  • Why breaking her water (something she didn’t plan to do) ended up being the right call.

  • How her husband and doula worked together with a “third-party consent” rule that kept her fully in control. 

  • That unforgettable moment she reached down and felt her baby’s head for the first time.

  • Why she believes her unmedicated birth shaped her beautiful postpartum experience and lasting confidence as a mom.
