6 Ways to Prepare for An Unmedicated Birth

The Birth Experience with Labor Nurse Mama

In this insightful podcast episode we focus on preparing for an unmedicated birth.

Emphasizing on how you can address your fears and the importance of understanding your “WHY” for choosing an unmedicated birth.

6 Ways to Prepare for An Unmedicated Birth:

1. Mindset Matters: Addressing your fears and your mindset happens long before the labor room. Replace your fears with TRUTH, and having a clear “WHY” for choosing an unmedicated birth is essential for a positive mindset.
2. Being Educated: Education gives you a sense of calm & peace to make the best decisions for your during your birth. Winging your birth is not an option.
3. Preparing Your Body: Understanding the power of the pelvis and movement during birth is monumental to your birth experience.
4. Creating a Supportive Birth Environment: If you create a birth environment that is supportive, you are going to feel safe while allowing the natural pain killers that we have flowing through our body to flow.
5. Unmedicated Pain Management Tools & Techniques: Understanding the importance of various unmedicated pain management techniques, including breath work, hot/cold therapy, & the comb technique.
6. Understanding Your Interventions & Your Birth Rights: Like I’ve said before, we don’t just refuse willy nilly. You need to know what this intervention is for, why it is used, and when it is appropriate. Should I say yes? Should I say no? You need to know your rights to navigate this.
