December 26, 2023{REBROADCAST} Contractions: What You Can Expect, How to Know It’s Time for You to Head to Your Birth Place, & How to Keep Track
We're sharing our most downloaded episode in 2023! 🎉

Most births are not like the movies. They don’t typically start with a massive gush of water followed by insanely intense contractions that have mom rushing to the hospital. 🚑 That’s not to say a birth can’t start with your waters breaking and even immediate contractions, but most often, you’re going to have some time to ease into labor.

With that in mind, I’m going to walk you through what you can expect with those first contractions, what you can do to help manage them as they increase in intensity and consistency, and how you can easily keep track if you want to. 📝
