  • Ep 1 Birth Experiences: Water Birth & Unmedicated Birth

    A podcast brought to you by Elephant in the Womb blog (www.elephantinthewomb.ca).


    The Birth Experiences series is a set of interviews with moms sharing their unique birth story, and answering common questions about their different experiences. What is labor & birth like? Well it's different for everyone - tune in monthly to hear about all the different ways it can go and the variety of challenges that can be faced. No birth experience is exactly the same.

    Episode I features Rebecca and Jessica, both women who had unmedicated births with midwives. Rebecca had a water birth in a birth centre setting, while Jessica had a different experience in a hospital setting.

    Other topics that are covered include Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD), Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), doulas, nitrous oxide, and non-medicated pain management/coping techniques.

    Learn a little bit more about these wonderful women below:

    Hey friends! I am Rebecca, and I reside in Ohio in the states. I'm a mom to a beautiful girl named Piper. I had a water birth, which was the most empowering decision I have ever made for myself. In fact, my birth influenced me to become a doula after discovering a passion for being an advocate for myself (and others) and finding empowerment in education. I invite you to check out my blog at https://coil.com/u/TheWrongOrder to learn more about birth, motherhood, and creativity. 

    Hi I’m Jessica! I’m a 29 year old Canadian, married to my husband Steven and we have a 14 month old son named Landon. He arrived in June of 2019 and is the light of our lives. I had all my prenatal care, including my birth by midwives and did so unmedicated (with some laughing gas in there). I had a rough pregnancy but great birth experience!

About Elephant in the Womb

From the publisher's feed

A podcast about the elephant in the room - women's health being constantly overlooked, understudied, or not discussed. My goal is to change that - to amplify the voices of women (inclusively) through this podcast and to help people and parents gain more reliable and evidence-based information about their own health and well-being, as well as their children's.
