Strength in Every Setting: Steph’s 3 Natural Births in Hospitals & a Birthing Center! // S3E26

Stephanie Peck, a busy mom of three and winner of our mommy makeover contest, takes us on a beautiful journey through her natural birthing experiences. She opens up about her first two births in a hospital setting, then shares how her third birth at a birthing center was a completely different experience. From the first signs of labor to her water breaking, Stephanie walks us through each moment in a real, relatable way that every mom can connect with!   We chat about her 3 different birth experiences- We dive into the little things that can make a big difference, like cervical checks, the environment, moving around during labor, using birthing balls, and finding the best pushing positions for YOU!    Stephanie also opens up about what it was like giving birth during the COVID-19 pandemic, with all the stress of hospital protocols, and why that led her to switch to a birthing center for her later birth. We talk about the power of feeling in control during childbirth and how birthing centers and hospitals offer such different environments.    We get real about overdue pregnancies, the pressure society puts on us, and those precious first moments of bonding with baby. It’s an episode full of real, raw, and loving stories that any mom can relate to!   Key Highlights:   The decision to have a Natural Birth    Birthing in a Hospital   Birthing during a Pandemic   Choosing a Birthing Center   Connect with Melania & Ally:   Instagram: @rawmomversations   Website: www.rawmomversations.com   For partnership and collaboration inquiries:   Email: [email protected]     Podcast Disclaimer: The raw MOMversation podcast is for entertainment purposes only and not a substitute for professional or medical advice.
