⚠️ If this is your mindset heading into labor, chances are high that you will end up accepting interventions.

Your mindset going into labor can make or break your dream birth!

🚫 focusing on the fear
🚫 doubting your God given ability
🚫 people pleasing
🚫 lack of birth education

Instead….

✨ focus on the beauty of the process
✨ trust that God has a plan for your labor and delivery AND that He created your body in a way to birth your baby!
✨stop trying to please your doctor, family or anyone else. Do what is right for you and your baby.
✨take a quality birth course, read books and listen to podcasts on physiological birth

✨ peaceful, calm, controlled

Those are the 3 words I would use to describe Christian’s beautiful unmedicated, physiological birth.
After laboring all night (literally!), Christian continued to stay calm and in control. I kept telling her husband that she would be approaching transition soon… little did we know she was already fully dilated! She then stayed completely calm and in control while being fully dilated for over an hour and not pushing yet 🤯 She never voiced any doubts or fears. She instead took each contraction as one step closer to meeting her baby 🤍 it was truly incredible to witness!

I wanted to give my body the best chance at having an unmedicated birth with our 4th pregnancy. The things you do during pregnancy and labor can really make a difference in how your birth plays out. Preparation is key when planning for an unmedicated birth. As a doula, it’s my goal to prepare my clients mentally, physically and emotionally for birth.

✔️Exercising through pregnancy with FIT4MOM Quad Cities
✔️Regular chiropractic adjustments with Dr. Emylee Flourish Family Chiropractic
✔️Hiring a like minded doula Gloria Birth Services
✔️Hiring the right provider
✔️making choices based on evidence instead of fear

I truly believe God’s hand has been on me throughout each of my births. This includes my first two, which did not go as I had hoped for.
But I still wonder if I would have pushed for 2+ hours with our first or if I would have still needed a c-section with our second. If I would have entered into those births with the knowledge and understanding that I have today, would they have gone differently?

It’s not enough to just desire a natural birth. You need to prepare mentally, emotionally and physically for the marathon you’re approaching.

Are you planning for an unmedicated hospital birth? Stay tuned for my next post on how my second two births were SO different!🤰🏼

Don’t wait until the last weeks of pregnancy to get prepared and informed about birth and postpartum!

My childbirth education course includes information on how to mentally and physically prep for an unmedicated birth, different interventions and their risks and benefits, labor positions, partner support, immediate postpartum, advocacy, and help making a birth plan. Go into labor confident and informed so you can make the right choices for you and your baby.
