342: How to Mentally Prepare for When Things Don’t Go as Planned in Your Birth with Jenny and Wendy from Pure Motherhood

In this episode, Matthew and Sarah chat with sisters Jenny and Wendy, creators of Pure Motherhood, a company that provides education, products, support and empowerment for moms and moms-to-be. We talk about how to mentally pivot when things don’t go the way you might have planned for in your birth. Some of the biggest “what if’s” and concerns around potential plan changes for home birth center around: Change of care provider Elements of the labor and/or birth being different than how you envisioned Transfer to the hospital either before or after birth Jenny is a childbirth educator and has experience with an unplanned cesarean birth and a planned HBAC (home birth after cesarean) that resulted in a hospital transfer for a cesarean birth. Wendy’s background is in creating holistic products to help mothers during pregnancy and postpartum. She had a planned home birth that resulted in a hospital transfer for a cesarean birth. Both women can certainly speak to what it’s like to pivot when things don’t go the way you planned. And they’re creating a platform for others to be educated, informed and prepared in their own individual journeys.
