062: Alenna's Hypnobirthing Birth Story: A Natural Birth Journey

In our final February love fest episode, I chat with Alenna, who shares her personal Hypnobirthing birth story. From how she and her husband accidentally found Hypnobirthing to what happened on delivery day, Alenna and her husband were on the same page about not using medication and did a lot of proactive practice ahead of time. You may hear about the peanut ball and its magic for the first time in this episode! Alenna did great with remembering to ignore early labor to save energy for the real stuff later. A tip that most of us ignore and then regret later. As a self proclaimed control freak, she allowed herself to go with the flow even as a backup doula was called in because hers was at another birth.  Her education and practice enabled her voice to come through and ask the important questions as they presented themselves. Alenna follows up with some great tips and real talk about preparing for birth and postpartum life. Thank you to Seneca for taking the baby and dog on a walk so we could meet up for this conversation - and we missed you!  Be sure to subscribe so you never miss an episode!
