We asked our community about having a village, and we heard from some people who didn't feel like they had one. 

In this episode we talk about what a village means, and how do you build one. We get a little hash in this episode, and don't mean to cause offence. Just a rolling conversation about what it means to us, and how we think everyone can have a village.

Don't worry I am ok. But know if you're in the depths of your cycle, and things don't feel normal,  it's ok to ask for help. We talk about where we are at lately today, Lara's feeling pretty low. Sarah's ovulating. Missing the days when we cycled together. We're catching up today, this episode is all over the place. 

To be honest after saying the things I said out loud I did some major reflection that its definitely not ok I feel that way, or normal. I will keep an eye on it and know I am safe. This one gets juicy, deep, and heavy. Buckle up friends.

Today on the podcast we have the incredibly insightful, the well spoken, the wise woman we love so much, Rebecca Ogilvie.

Wow, this is a powerful podcast. Rebecca had a birth that went completely sideways with her first. She was breech and went down the path of advocating for a vaginal breech birth. This is not an easy journey. We’ve lost the art of breech delivery. It scares Birth Care providers because they’ve lost the skills to be confident in them. If you find yourself breech late in your pregnancy this is a MUST LISTEN. You do have choice. You do have options, and breech doesn't have to be scary. .

We cover that adventure, her subsequent birth, what life going from one-two is actually like, her new business venture and her 14 month honeymoon (pre kids! Lol)  Rebecca is in the depths of toddler and baby life, and an entrepreneur. She is an incredible human who's voice is like balm for the soul. 

Her advice for you - Get help - call on your people, having someone in the house to help or to take one of the kids for a walk, and give you a few minutes with the other one. Make that one on one time happen. I am just figuring it out and winging it, and it never feels like I have enough help.

Today we are interviewing our dear friend Keilan who is newly pregnant and has a lot to say about the first trimester. We keep it real around here, and that includes not positive washing pregnancy or birth. We get down to the nitty gritty of the first three months here and talk about how isolating and scary it can be trying to keep it all a secret, and keep your baby inside and growing healthy all at the same time. "Don't get stressed out" you'll hear, which seems near impossible. 

You are the most nauseous, grumpy, exhausted, not showing, AND you're terrified to tell anyone because thats the societal norm. You're hiding a massive baby sized secret from some of your closest friends and family. Add on the fear that the pregnancy may not last and you have a recipe for some mental madness inside your soul. 

Listen in as we check in with Keilan in the midst of her first trimester and hear what its REALLY like.

On today's episode we're deep diving into VBACs. The culture in the US and Canada is a little bit different so we discuss the things we're seeing. We talk about how normal it really should be, and the success rates. Jenni is a VBAC expert and her knowledge is incredible. She is proof that you really can niche down a speciality and build an amazing community around something you're so passionate about. 

She wants everyone to "Stop being so dramatic about VBACs" and also know that decels in a babies heart rate can be so normal! Stop monitoring your babies heart rates continuously because its causing more problems than it's helping. 

You can find Jenni at @thevbacacademy on instagram. She's got so many amazing courses for you to choose from as a person who wants a VBAC or as a professional who needs more education about vbacs and supporting them. 

Caleigh is a NICU nurse with 4 kids, 3 of whom were born at home! She’s talking to us today about how she has to work to unlearn all of the institutional birth things she takes in at work, and lean into her crunchie home birther brain.

Her husband is also a Respiratory Therapist and he needs to walk a similar path each time leading up to their home births. Blocking out the worst of the worst stories he witnesses and trusting birth as a process.

Listen in as we talk trust, intuition and birth stories with Caleigh.

**She wanted us to add that as a NICU nurse she goes off 4-5 months before having her babies in order to get her mindset right!
