Ever freeze up trying to explain your birth plan — and end up saying, “I just want a natural birth”?
You’re not alone, mama. In this episode of The Moved by Birth Podcast, we’re breaking down the words that actually matter when you’re planning your birth, so you can feel confident, calm, and clear in every conversation with your provider.

We’ll walk through the most common birth terminology — from vaginal birth and C-sections, to inductions, low-intervention vs high-intervention birth, and the real difference between “natural” and “unmedicated.” You’ll learn what each term means, when it’s used, and how to use this language to advocate for yourself and communicate your preferences clearly.
