Trish welcomes her sweet birth student, LeeAnn, a first-time mom and a student of the 'Calm Labor Confident Birth' course. LeeAnn shares her breathtaking birth story, which started with a surprise in triage and ended with the unmedicated birth she always dreamed of. 

She walked us through her mindset shifts during pregnancy, the tools from the course, as well as the labor bat signal, that kept her calm and at ease, especially during those last weeks of pregnancy, and what it was like to have a fast, unmedicated first birth. She also gets into her postpartum experiences and offers real, valuable advice to other first-time moms.

“ I felt comfortable and I think there's so much out there nowadays about like, “Here's what you should do, Here's what you should not do” - and it's also contradictory. Your courses were very much like, “Here are your options, “ and you were very open about, if you want to go natural, if you want to do medicated -  you gave all the options. And I felt like that made me feel empowered to speak for what I wanted. “

-LeeAnn

Tune in to hear how LeeAnn took control of her birth journey and emerged empowered, confident, and in control as a first-time mama.
