Holding Space

In this personal episode, I'm sharing my two cesarean birth stories...what I learned, what I changed, and what I wish I had done to prepare. In the sharing of my first belly birth, I explore the ways that Fear showed up and led to rigidity around my birth plan and ultimately a disconnection from truly listening to my body. I unpack the challenges around healing that followed, and the key ways I changed my birth preparation the second time around. In sharing my birth stories, I hope to empower you to connect with YOUR personal values as you prepare for the intense and incredible experience of birth. The birth meditations mentioned in the episode are now a part of my course Prepared Postpartum with board certified Ob/Gyn Dr. Christine Sterling, which you can learn more about at: https://thesterlinglife.mykajabi.com/preparedpostpartum Did you connect with that episode?
