If you’re a first time mom you have probably asked or will ask “but how will I know when I’m in labor.” That’s such a good question but I also think it may not be as important to answer as you think it is. For my last 3 births I have experienced prodromal labor which feels like early labor and it lasts for 2-3 weeks before I actually end up having a baby. This has taught me a few things… I’m excited to share with you today what my exact routine is for when I go into labor and the questions I ask myself so I’m prepared for what’s ahead. Early labor is my absolute favorite and I think that I can attribute it to this routine. This is also what I would tell all of my doula clients to do.

What happens when you desire to homebirth but your home is not an option? Maybe there isn’t a midwife near you, you’re living with family who doesn’t want you to birth there, or you’re living somewhere that doens’t feel safe. Does that rule out your option and your dream to homebirth?  

Today you’re going to hear a story about what happens when home isn’t an option but you still want to birth outside the system (yes birth centers are very much part of the system so it’s not about that…. My guest today comes on and shares her adventurous birth in a hotel!

Can you really re-wire your brain to increase the joy and peace in your pregnancy as well as have a pleasurable birth? Yes! You can! I know this because I did it and I have taught other women how to take their thoughts captive and use the tools found in the Bible, backed up by neuropsychology, to take the thoughts captive that are not serving you well and even causing illness and replace them with truth! This is powerful and I can’t wait to share with you the first tool I used when rewiring my brain from fear based to faith.
