You’ve been prepping for birth, but with so much conflicting advice, it’s easy to feel nervous or unprepared… and you’re not alone! In this episode, I’m breaking down what most people don’t tell you about getting ready for labor — from birth myths and epidurals to baby positioning, mindset, and practical ways to feel confident no matter how your birth unfolds.

We’re covering what really matters during birth prep, including how to:
 • Spot the signs of active labor and plan for support
 • Understand epidurals, pain, and movement — what providers often don’t mention
 • Influence your baby’s position safely during pregnancy
 • Use mindset, flexibility, and planning to stay calm and confident
 • Prepare your birth partner to truly be your rock in the delivery room
 • Focus on three simple, actionable things you can start today to feel ready

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I ready for this?” or “What actually matters for a smooth birth?” — this episode is for you. It’s honest, empowering, and full of practical tips to help you feel informed AND ready for your best birth yet!
