Today we finish out our series on loss by interviewing Olivia as she discusses her still birth followed by the birth of her rainbow baby.

When people lose babies late in pregnancy or shortly after birth, it can seem impossible to cope. It also can feel impossible to support someone through their grief. In this episode we interview Gina about the loss of her daughter Phoebe and discuss some considerations to take into account when there is a loss late in pregnancy.

Grief and loss are so hard. So many people go through pregnancy loss everyday, but the subject can tend to be very hush hush. This sometimes leaves the people going through it feeling very isolated. In this first episode in a series of loss, we shed some light on miscarriage to help create a community of support for those experiencing this grief. Cheers!

Sometimes births are really long. Staying up for days at a time is challenging, to say the least. In this episode we talk about some of our long labors and tips and tricks we use to cope when we just have to keep on keeping on. Cheers!!

As out of hospital providers we always hope that labor will start on its own and progress wonderfully. Since birth is not always glitter and rainbows, sometimes there are situations where we have to decide whether to help labor along. Today we discuss some of the times we consider "natural"labor induction methods and our experiences with some of the most common "natural" labor induction methods. We hope that it can help you on your path to empowering birth. Cheers!!

We had a crazy 48 hours of birth work. When you are a birth worker you never know what the next day may have planned for you. So enjoy our rendition of our 2 days in the life of a birth worker. Cheers!!

Today we talk about holding space in birth. How we can get out of our own way to help moms in labor to the best of our ability. We also talk about the way that holding space in birth and holding space through loss overlap and the lessons we learn from those experiences. Cheers!!

Birth can look very different depending on if this is your first go around or if you have had babies before. Today we talk about some of those differences, and ways primips can avoid some of the classic primip complications, We also share our birth story of the week. She is a bad ass first time mom who rocked her birth. Cheers!

Today we discuss 2 very different birth stories and discuss the enormous well of strength that can be tapped into through birth. Different experiences require different types of strength, but every person giving birth is so much stronger than they know. Cheers!

Breech births are a topic that birth professionals have strong opinions about. Today we talk about our opinions about the safety of breech birth, how to prevent baby being breech, the importance of providers trained in breech and we tell the story of Kim and Meredith's surprise breech birth. Enjoy and Cheers!
