Empowering Birth Experiences: Insights from The Omaha Better Birth Project

Welcome back to Omaha Mom Talks! I’m so excited to have you join us for today’s episode. In this powerful and deeply important conversation, I’m joined by Samantha Wall - Omaha mom, public health professional, and founder of The Omaha Better Birth Project. Together, we explore birth as more than a medical event - it is a human, emotional, and systems-level experience that can shape families for years to come. Sam shares how her own entry into motherhood opened her eyes to gaps in support, patterns in birth experiences, and the inequities many families face when navigating pregnancy and delivery. What to Expect: In this episode, we discuss: ·       How Samantha’s first birth experience led her into advocacy work ·       The emotional realities of motherhood during pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond ·       What an empowered and supportive birth experience can be  ·       What The Omaha Better Birth Project is doing to close gaps in care and access ·       What doulas actually do and how they can transform the birth experience ·       How partners and support people can show up more effectively At its core, this conversation is about ensuring families feel seen, heard, and supported during one of life’s most vulnerable transitions. Whether you’re preparing for birth, supporting someone who is, or passionate about maternal health -  this episode will leave you more informed and more connected to the kind of care every family deserves.
