In this episode we dive deep into Laura's two empowering birth stories. 

Why she decided on having out-of-hospital, unmedicated, birth center births, the exact details on how they each began and how they progressed, the lessons she learned each time, and what she aims to do differently for her third birth!  

A great, positive birth episode you'll want to tune into to get into the right birth headspace.

FOR REFERENCE. Free standing independent Birth Center in S. Pasadena was former Del Mar Birth Center, now new birth center (new owners, same design) called Moxi Birth.

In this episode we go through all of the different possibilities of how a partner (your husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, mom or sister) can help you through all different stages of labor: from early labor at home, through the car ride to the hospital or birth center, active labor, pushing and immediate postpartum.

A great episode to listen with your partner and be able to have open conversations about options and goals before labor even begins.

Remi also explains some lessons she learned from having two families with three kids, ages 2 months, 1 year and 3 year olds, live with them for a week! A great preview of realistic expectations.

Enjoy!
