#62 BIRTH STORY Positive birth experience where you are in control WITH an epidural with Jacquie
•
Welcome to the Natural Birth Code Podcast! So excited to have you here, ready to dive into some real talk about birth experiences. Today, I am absolutely stoked to introduce you to Jacque. Trust me, you're gonna adore her. She's an NBC mama who's been through the whole shebang – yoga, birth workshops, you name it. And now, seven months post-birth, she's here to share her journey.
Get ready, because Jacque's story is a game-changer. We're talking about her experience with an epidural, and let me tell you, it's not your typical tale. See, we often have these preconceived notions about what's "good" or "bad" when it comes to birth preferences. But Jacque's here to flip that script. She embraced the unexpected, and her positive attitude toward her epidural is seriously inspiring.
You know, it's all about facing those fears head-on. We've all been there, sweating bullets over what might go wrong. But when you shine a light on those worries and give 'em a name, they lose their power. Jacque did just that, and her journey shows us that sometimes, the scariest thing on paper turns out to be a blessing in disguise.
So, get ready for some major inspiration – this is one podcast episode you won't wanna miss!
In this podcast we discuss:
- Conception with a sperm donor
- The importance of a support network
- Pregnancy preparation for birth
- How to have a positive birth experience where you are in control WITH an epidural
- Single parenting
- The importance of trusting in your intuition, and having confidence during your labour and birth experience
This podcast is for:
- The woman who can’t handle the thought of their birth going not to plan
- The woman wildly scared of getting the epidural
- The single mamas
- Mama who has difficulty in trusting and listening to their intuition- where does it even come from?
- Mamas who feel that because they haven’t birthed before they have no idea what to expect
- The Mamas who love a good birth story
