This week on the Podcast, I’m excited to bring back some amazing women who have already shared their stories on the podcast - and now, they’re here again with new chapters to tell. ✨💕

First up is Molly - she shared her first birth story back in episode 17 of so go check that out to hear the first part of her story - and in episode 134 Molly returns to share her second birth story which was at Mercy Hospital in Portland with the support of midwives.

Birth after a challenging experience asks different questions, and Mollys story is full of real talk about how she navigated that with intention and grace.

When you’re encouraged to push before your body is ready - it can lead to more interventions, like vacuum assisted births or even unnecessary cesareans.

Pushing too early and not allowing yourself the space to “labor down” can disrupt the natural rhythm of birth, increase stress, and can cause trauma or complications that might have been avoided.

Birth is a process - not a race. ✨

Check out episode 133 of Podcast to hear Kia share all about her experience with pushing against the tide. Out now wherever you listen to podcasts, or right on my website MyMaineBirth.com

In Episode 133 of the podcast we talk about the importance of honoring your body’s natural timing and resisting the pressure to conform to external expectations. Because for the majority of healthy women - support that truly respects your autonomy, your own awareness of the pregnancy and birth process, and trusting your physiology, can make all the difference.

Pushing before your body is ready can cause real harm, stall progress, and trigger unnecessary interventions.

Kia’s experience with a vacuum assisted birth highlights this perfectly: pushing before her body was ready lead to a super challenging turn.

It’s important to remember that hospital policy is not law - and you can always say No to things you don’t want.

Check out episode 133 of out now! You can find it wherever you normally listen to podcasts or right on my website MyMaineBirth.com
