How to Actually Give Birth Without an Epidural (Tips From a Labor & Delivery Nurse + Doula) | Ep. 27


Listen Later

You want to give birth without an epidural—but how do you actually get there?


In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on exactly what I would do if I were preparing for a natural, unmedicated birth starting today. As a former L&D nurse, doula, and mom who’s been on both sides of the bed (so to speak), I’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and what absolutely matters when it comes to preparing for a natural birth.


Whether you’re a first-time mom or just wanting a different experience this time around, this episode will walk you through the practical, emotional, and spiritual steps I recommend to truly prepare for birth without medication.


We’ll cover:
— Why knowing your why is foundational
— The critical difference your provider and birth setting make
— How to train your brain to believe that birth is normal
— What it actually looks like to cope well through labor
— And the biggest red flags that can sabotage your plan


I’m not here to sugarcoat the work it takes—but I am here to affirm that this is possible, and you are capable.
