EP 9:
Let's jump right in!

As I go through this episode, I'll be answering the questions laid out at the beginning: what is mom-guilt? Is it a thing? Do all mommies have it? Does it go away?

the best way to understand it is to know that it's rooted in unrealistic expectations of yourself.

Some of the thoughts that can trigger feelings of guilt are:

thinking that everything should be perfect.

-feeling like I needed to be spot on for everything.

-not wanting to say no.

-not being okay with imperfections.

All that is unnecessary weight to bare.

Trust me as a new mom you'll have plenty of things to carry.

Mom-guilt shouldn't be it.

In This Episode you'll learn 4 key things new moms should NOT feel guilty about AND I'll also share a powerful technique that I teach my clients to make a quick pivot to purposeful positive thoughts to do motherhood joyfully!

How your birth plan will help you decrease overwhelm and increase confidence

Most women struggle with their transition into motherhood.

• Researchers found that during pregnancy, 1 out of 2 pregnant moms admitted that they were nervous and scared of becoming a mother
• 1-in-4 said they were completely daunted by motherhood
• More than half of the women polled during pregnancy admitted to being overwhelmed after they gave birth

As a matter of fact, 57% said that the first few weeks and months after giving birth was a bit of a blur.

When it comes to giving birth, "winging it" just won't cut it.

I'm here with good news:

Women who have a birth plan are more likely to have a positive birth experience as well as a simple and more comfortable transition into motherhood.

Tune in to this episode to hear how successful mothers use a birth plan to their advantage.

EP2:
People ask me, "Stephanie, what is the purpose of a birth plan?"

Simply put - the purpose of a birth plan is to support you during labor, birth and postpartum so that you are more likely to have a positive birth experience of your choosing.

Now, there are a lot of benefits that stem from having a birth plan and being prepared (which we'll get into in this episode)

But when we get down to business, having a birth plan allows you the privilege to have "birth happen through you and not to you."

In this Oh Baybee! Episode you'll learn:

• How a birth plan will improve the communication with your health provider and healthcare staff
• Why planning will increase your chance of having a positive birth experience
• How your plan will help you advocate for yourself and your baby

Having an effective birth plan may seem insignificant but trust me - (when done well) you'll have a positive birth memory that will last a lifetime.

Happy Birthing!
