Lessons from a Very Long Labor

from Sage Motherhood · host Stefanie Melo

I recently attended a birth that was vastly longer than any other I supported. Throughout the 57 hours of support I offered to mom; I observed, remembered and learned important lessons that I think can help an expecting a parent. In this episode I talk about: The value of well-rounded childbirth education. Ways a doula can make for a positive birth experience. The value of rest in early labor. When an epidural is a great idea. Avoiding trauma when you deviate from the birth plan. The power of mindset in labor. Sign up for our Expert Baby Registry Class at Dulce Vida Coffee on March 16.
