Rebroadcast - Unmedicated Birth: How To Prepare If This Is Your Goal

This is a rebroadcast of one of our most loved episodes — whether you are listening for the first time or coming back for another listen, I know you are going to get something out of it. Enjoy! ❤️ I have three babies I gave birth to and two girls who made me a mama in a different way — and all three times I gave birth I was planning to go unmedicated. It only happened once. And it was not because my body failed me. It was because I did not have the tools I needed and I did not know then what I know now.  About nutrition. About mindset. About preparing my birth partner. About what actually helps once you are deep in labor and things get really hard. That is exactly why this episode exists. In this one I am walking you through everything — starting in pregnancy with nutrition, movement, posture, and mindset work, and moving all the way through labor with the tools, positions, support, and options that make the biggest difference when you are working toward an unmedicated birth.  There is no judgment here about how you choose to give birth. But if unmedicated birth is your goal — I want you to have every single thing you need to get there. ❤️ Here are some highlights from the episode: • Why staying healthy and low risk gives you the most options for your birth — and where nutrition fits into all of it • The three exercises and daily movement that prepare your body for labor — and how to actually build the habit • Why your posture matters more than you think for your baby's position • Mindset work, positive affirmations, and why this might matter even more for mamas who have given birth before • Labor practice — what it is, why it works, and how to do it starting today • How to prepare your birth partner so they actually know how to support you when it counts • Understanding how birth physiologically works — and why that knowledge changes everything about how it feels • Knowing your options before you get to the induction conversation • Why staying home longer is one of the most powerful tools for an unmedicated birth  • Water as nature's epidural, freedom of movement, emptying your bladder, and eating and drinking in labor • Being adaptable — why you should never be suffering just to stay unmedicated, and how to make confident decisions if things shift Links Mentioned:  🔗 My Essential Birth Course: myessentialbirth.com/getstarted  🔗 3 Free Exercises: myessentialbirth.com/3-exercises  📱 Instagram: @myessentialbirth Don't forget to RATE & FOLLOW the Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy Podcast!
