You probably know by now that birth story episodes are my absolute favorites, and this one is no exception!

My guest on this episode of the podcast is Linnea Taylor. Linnea shares her experiences with 4 cesarean births, including dealing with placenta previa, and not being awake for 2 of her babies births. You’ll not only learn some valuable lessons, you’ll also laugh, and shed a few tears. Linnea is really able to find joy in some challenging circumstances.

Linnea’s experiences are each unique, and each is important for any mama-to-be to hear and learn from. Even if you aren’t planning on having a cesarean birth, as both Linnea and I mention in this episode, birth is unpredictable and it’s good to be prepared for the unexpected.

If you’d like to connect with Linnea, you can find the links to reach her below.

Hopefully you won’t have to go through the experiences I had during my pregnancy with nausea and vomiting. But given how common it is, chances are that you’ll experience it to at least some degree during your pregnancy.

And let’s be real, having nausea and vomiting is miserable!

That’s why I made this episode of the All About Pregnancy & Birth podcast. To give you both non-medication and medication options you can try to relieve that horrible “morning sickness”.

I want you to have the very best pregnancy that you can, and getting that nausea and vomiting under control will definitely make things sail more smoothly.

Do you know what one of my favorite parts of the All About Pregnancy & Birth podcast is? The birth stories! I love helping you, my listeners, see how each pregnancy and birth is unique, and how each birth story can teach a lesson. This birth story episode is no different.

Tarynn Saling has three unique birth stories, each with some great takeaways. She shares her experiences of what it was like giving birth in a rural area. And you MUST hear the jaw dropping experience of her third baby being born 5 weeks early in a rural Emergency Department!

While there are a lot of great tips and lessons to be learned by pregnant women who live in a rural area, there are a ton of lessons in this episode that can help any pregnant woman, no matter where she lives. So definitely listen in!

Tarynn Saling shares what it was like having 3 babies in a rural area, including the jaw dropping experience of having her 3rd baby in the Emergency Department 5 weeks early. Full show notes at www.ncrcoaching.com/episode11.

There are some startling statistics when it comes to maternal morbidity and mortality in the United States, especially if you’re a black woman.

We’re one of the richest countries in the world, and yet the rates of maternal morbidity and mortality are increasing, rather than decreasing. Pretty shocking, isn’t it?

You might be asking yourself what I mean when I say maternal morbidity and mortality. And if so, you’re not alone. A lot of pregnant and postpartum mamas don’t fully understand those terms either.

But you’re in luck, because on this episode of the All About Pregnancy & Birth podcast, not only do I share with you what those words mean, and the specifics behind the statistics, but I also give you things you can do to stay safe and alive during both your pregnancy and postpartum periods.

This is a true public health crisis. Each and every pregnant and postpartum mama needs to catch this episode.

Do you know what a doula is, what they do, and just how important they can be to you during your pregnancy and labor?

I definitely do. That's why I have a doula as part of my Facebook group communities. But as much as I thought I knew, I still learned a thing or two during this episode of the All About Pregnancy and Birth podcast!

During this episode, I talk with my friend and the community manager of both my course Facebook group and podcast Facebook group, experienced doula Keisha Graham.

Keisha gives some GREAT information that every pregnant woman will find valuable. She also illustrates the massive impact that having a doula during your pregnancy, labor and delivery can have. So be sure to listen in and also let us know what you think in the podcast community Facebook group!
