“I’ll just go with the flow and see what happens!” is not a phrase you will hear from us…at least in regard to giving birth. In this episode, our aim is to remind you of your autonomy in your birth.

We tell you not only what we included in our birth plans but more importantly why we made our choices. We hope to bring awareness to the myriad options you have when it comes to bringing your baby earthside! 

Along the way, we share pointers in regard to the format and content of our birth plans, what we changed our minds about, and of course, we can’t leave out the hot topic of newborn interventions.

Although our birth plans were similar, our actual births were wildly different. You will learn about all the options you truly have despite hospital or practitioner protocol or policy, and by the time you finish this rather lengthy episode, we hope you feel inspired and empowered to plan for the birth of dreams, no matter how or where you envision giving birth.

So often we’re told the benefits we’ll reap as a result of hormonal birth control and IUDs, but are we ever given informed consent on the physical and emotional risks? How empowering is it to believe your best or only options to plan and prevent pregnancy are from pharmaceuticals that trick your body into believing it’s pregnant or an intrauterine device that can become dislodged? 

In this episode, we discuss what real female empowerment looks like when it comes to planning and preventing pregnancy on our own terms without the pill or IUD. You’ll hear about our regrets and past experiences with hormonal birth control, what we know now, and how we empowered ourselves through cycle awareness, fertility signals and data to plan our pregnancies. 

Hear what our favorite trusted resources are for natural family planning so you can empower yourself and ditch the hormones and IUDs for good.
