Wine About Birth Podcast

Sometimes babies decide to be born in cars on the way to the birth space. It can be unexpected and overwhelming, but it makes for some really good stories. Today we talk about some of our car birth experiences, including our birth story of the week, which took place in the car. Enjoy and Cheers!

Today we interview Dr. Emily DeRocco. She is a webster certified chiropractor, mother of 5 (soon to be 6), twin momma, and home birthing momma. We are talking all about twins, our experiences and hers. Enjoy and Cheers!

Sometimes births happen fast...so fast that we don't make it in time. This past week we had a bunch of these births. Today we talk about how to prepare for if that happens to you and also share some of our missed birth stories of the week. Cheers!

All of us go through times of transition in life. Just like transition in birth, life transitions can be painful and scary. It can be really hard to be the best versions of ourselves when going through times of transition no matter how necessary changes are. Today we talk about the life transitions that we are all going through and how we are handling them while juggling families, birth work and friendship. We hope our transparency can help all of you who are also struggling to see you aren't alone and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Cheers!

Jess started the day with a birth, Kim is actively at a birth as we record, and Mer is just along for the ride. Listen to us stumble our way through this impromptu episode as we keep our commitment to not bail on the podcast in 2022.

We are back from our holiday break and we are talking about some of the things we accomplished in 2021 and some of our goals for 2022, both professional and personal. We also share our birth story of the week and spoiler alert... it was a Christmas baby. So excited to be back and see what 2022 holds. Cheers!

Today we had the tremendous honor of interviewing Lena Cerbone, CNM. There are so many different paths to midwifery and birth work and not all providers respect and support each other. During this episode we discuss some of the reasons why that might be and ways that we can help bridge that gap to help make birth safer and happier for the people who really matter, the ones who are giving birth. Cheers!

Birth work is a job that takes a lot of passion. It is also a job that can lead to burn out because it takes so much of us to be the providers we want to be. Today we talk a little bit about provider burnout and some of the things we do to help keep going when things get tough. Cheers!

It is Thanksgiving, so today we practice the art of gratitude and talk about the things we are thankful for. Enjoy and Cheers!

Postpartum hemorrhage sometimes happens and is a real fear for a lot of people. Today we talk about supporting the normal physiology of the birth of the placenta in order to help prevent hemorrhage. We also talk about the ways that we manage postpartum hemorrhage if it happens. Happy birthing and Cheers!
