Wine About Birth Podcast

It has been 3 years since we last interviewed our kids and we wanted an update. Today we interview all the girls. Join us as we discuss everything from birth work to periods and body positivity with our little women. Cheers!

We always say that births come in sets of 3. We were proved very right in this rule when we had 3 babies in 1 day, on the full moon. It was an exciting day and an exciting month. Today we tell the tales of those 3 births, including an exciting unexpected face presentation. Grab a glass of your favorite drink and join us as we wine about birth. We know we need a glass. Cheers!

Oh the joys and hardships of birth in the winter. We have had a completely full schedule this month as well as several snow storms. Today we talk about some of those births and the special challenges that come with the cold, snow and ice. Grab a beer in front of your fireplace and join us as we wine about winter. Cheers!!

The Unconscious Bias Bill...what is it? And why is it so important for the future of birth? We have always recognized a vast difference in regards to birthing outcomes within different cultures and non-white communities across our country. The Unconscious Bias Bill, if passed, is a huge step in filling those gaps within the state of Virginia. Today we interview Kathryn Haines and Kenda Sutton-El, who have been working tirelessly to pass this bill to help improve birthing outcomes for all people. Please join us in this call to action to make out of hospital birth safe AND accessible to everyone. Together we can help to improve birthing outcomes for everyone giving birth.

Triage...the time between the heads up that a client thinks labor is starting and the decision to head to the birth space. It is a tricky time as labor can sometimes fool us all. Today we discuss some of the ways we each handle this time period and some of the tools we use. Cheers!

Sexual education is so important for our growing children. We have found that the sexual education in our country is sorely lacking in efficacy. It isn't lowering teen pregnancy or sti transmission, and it isn't working well to teach our youth about healthy sexual relationships and boundaries. Today we talk about our opinions on the current state of sex ed. Cheers!!

Today we were delighted to sit down for an interview with Ivana Lombardo. Ivana is a hypnobirthing instructor and mother of two. She shared so much with us all about what hynobirthing is and how it can help mommas no matter what their birth plan is. We even found out it can help you in parenting and life in general. Grab a glass of your favorite vino and learn with us. Cheers!

Kim recently had the privilege of attending the birth of a 5 time repeat client. Our repeat clients are so special to us, so we thought we would make an episode all about what it is like getting to attend these births. We don't always fight over who catches a baby, but when we do its probably because it is one of our special repeats. Cheers and Enjoy!

During our years of birth work we have supported many people who became pregnant through IVF. Its not an easy journey. Today we interview one couple about their experiences with IVF from the beginning to the birth. Its a long one so grab your favorite beverage, sit back and relax and enjoy. Cheers!!

We have been gone for a long time...didnt know if we were coming back. But lo and behold we realized we miss you guys and also our time processing births together. So we are back. Cheers and Enjoy!!
