Ep11: How Can a Doula Get Her Client a Vaginal Birth?


Listen Later

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into one of the most misunderstood questions in the birth world:

“How can I make sure I get a vaginal birth?”


For years, the reflex answer has been, “Hire a doula who will fight for you.” But what if that answer is not only outdated—but dangerously misleading?

We unpack why this thinking often leads to burnout for doulas, disappointment for mothers, and detachment for partners.


Most importantly, we reveal what actually works—from a place of science-backed wisdom and spiritual authority.

This episode is a wake-up call to everyone who’s been looking to outsource safety in birth rather than step into it boldly.


🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why the narrative of “get a doula to protect you” sets everyone up for failure
  • The neurophysiology of labor and how to support your nervous system through it
  • How partner involvement impacts oxytocin, birth outcomes, and maternal satisfaction
  • How to actually use a doula to empower—not override—your voice
  • Practical and powerful tools for natural and medicated births alike
  • The real role of the birth team and how to preserve self-agency
  • How birth can be a space of holy surrender and miraculous alignment with the Lord
