𝟬𝟴𝟯: 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵: 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗰𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗞𝘆𝗹𝗲⁣
⁣
In this episode, Care welcomes back Kyle and introduces Becca as they recount their unique and emotional birth story. Becca called me for classes when she was only two months along and we started her birth prep with that phone call. Her friend Kaitlyn is a doula and prompted her to call early so we could get a handle on her initial anxieties in early pregnancy.⁣
⁣
Coming from a small town in Nevada 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆. We talk about the decision to have a home birth at their midwife's home, the intensity of labor, and the unexpected turns that showcase the importance of having a supportive and skilled birth team. ⁣
⁣
Throughout their story, they emphasize 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, and being able to adapt to the ever-changing turns of pregnancy, birth, and parenthood. Their experience highlights the unpredictability of birth and the importance of preparation, flexibility, and support systems. We can only plan for so much and that’s when the trust and preparation kick in!⁣

⁣
Here's the stats spelt out...⁣
⁣
(NB: These are for uncomplicated 'low risk' pregnancies and therefore a baseline to destroyed how gestation alone impacted SB rates - other pregnancy complexes will alter these percentages depending on your individual situation)⁣
⁣
Take this information and use it to compare against the risk of the.induction itself for you and your baby.⁣
⁣
Only you can interpret what feels 'safe'' going forwards because safe is a feeling, not an action.⁣
⁣
This is your birth, your way. ⁣

HOW ARE WE DOING THIS WITH OUR BIRTHS? ⁣
⁣
ARE WE ASKING QUESTIONS AND GETTING THE RESULTS WE ARE LOOKING FOR?⁣
⁣
ARE WE INVESTIGATING OTHER OPTIONS, THE LATEST SCIENCE AND NOT "JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS?"⁣
⁣
𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗜𝗧 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡... 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗗 𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬.⁣

⁣
Most people follow the herd by instinct.⁣
Repeating patterns programmed since birth.⁣
Passed down by others who never questioned why.⁣
⁣
Entire generations live this way.⁣
Adapting out of fear of rejection.⁣
Trading authenticity for acceptance.⁣
⁣
But what is repeated without question often destroys.⁣
Norms are not always truth.⁣
Imitation is not always wisdom.⁣
⁣
History remembers the ones who broke the loop.⁣
Who chose authenticity over approval.⁣
Who created new patterns and changed themselves and the world.⁣
⁣
The herd forgets.⁣
Creators of new paths are remembered for ages.⁣
⁣
So who are you?⁣
A cycle repeated without thought,⁣
or the one who breaks it and becomes who you are meant to be?⁣

It’s a dad show! Kyle wanted his own chance to talk about his journey into fatherhood and 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗰𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆! ⁣
⁣
In this episode, I get to introduce you to Kyle, a new father and military veteran. ⁣
⁣
When Kyle came into Hypnobirthing, he was initially hesitant and skeptical and it was evident from his face lol! But something switched as classes went on and Kyle shares how understanding his role in the birthing process and demystifying the act of childbirth 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. ⁣
⁣
Kyle credits the birth education for both he and his wife as the profound change their relationship experienced and his newfound respect for the birthing process. ⁣
⁣
The show highlights the importance of communication, understanding, and mutual support in preparing for parenthood.⁣
⁣
It's a powerful testament to the impact of thorough birth education, partnership, and emotional intelligence in navigating the journey to parenthood.⁣

⁣
It’s their food.⁣
Their water.⁣
Their comfort.⁣
They’re figuring it out and learning, just like you - and they may not be very efficient at it.⁣
They may snack.⁣
⁣
And we’re out there telling women to not feed them but every 3-4 hours?! There’s a small percentage of babies and mothers who will do just fine with that interval. ⁣
⁣
BUT THE VAST MAJORITY of babies will wish and want to nurse more frequently. And the VAST MAJORITY of women’s brains and breasts will need a more frequent signal to bring in a robust, full supply to be able to exclusively nurse their babies. ⁣
⁣
Lovingly, ignore this advice if you are told it. It’s bull. And these people have zero idea what they are saying. Work with an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) who can help you with the latch, understanding the frequency and length of feeds, etc. ⁣
⁣
Feed your baby when they cue you - which is likely about every 90 minutes to 3 hours max. Sometimes it’ll be 3 hours. At night, maaaaybe 4, for one stretch, later on. But to strictly prevent your baby from access to the breast because of bad advice is what I’m vehemently against. ⁣
⁣
PS - I’m not trying to sing under some guise that I have a good voice - I’m just sing/yelling out my frustrations so that they’re not banshee screams. 😂

⁣
NICU parents do not get the “normal, expected discharge” from the hospital where they start their new life with a baby. Instead, their days are filled with worry, feelings of overwhelm and a whole other language and routine to learn regarding their child’s condition. 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀 who meet families each day with the same kindness and understanding.⁣
⁣
From my personal NICU experience, a lot of what I needed to communicate well with the medical staff I had learned in the Hypnobirthing series I took while pregnant. 𝗜 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗳, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗯𝘆 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘆𝗲 when they were speaking. Eye contact was equally important when I was asking my questions and requesting that they step outside of what their routine was when it came to my daughter.⁣
⁣
If you don’t know that you can ask for other options for care - you won’t.⁣
⁣
If you don’t know that you can still bond and take care of your baby - you won’t.⁣
⁣
The nurses have a lot of tips and tricks to share and can teach you a lot before you go home with your baby. The NICU is a place that allows for 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗲𝘆𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀. Let your nurses know you want to be involved in all of it and then set up a schedule for your baby.

Along with her personal birth experiences, Maggie emphasizes the importance of education, preparation, and the ability to make informed decisions for a better birth outcome. We discuss everything from physiologically understanding birth to the role of the pelvic floor, and how being well-informed can reduce fear and lead to a more empowering birth experience, whether it's a home birth, hospital birth, or C-section.

In Hypnobirthing, we help you talk about your fears and either resolve them or create backup plans so you can go with the flow of labor.⁣
⁣
You will learn a broad scope of what birth can look like when you are connected to your baby and how many options you ACTUALLY have in the birth place that you choose.⁣
⁣
You come into the first week of class with possible fear and hesitation but after class 5 you leave feeling confident in your body, connected to the experience and are equipped with the mental and physical tools you'll need for this first, major experience with your baby. ⁣
⁣
𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂. ⁣
⁣
They are smart, little escape artists and they take the time that they need to figure out their placement and movement. Sometimes it's fast and sometimes it paced slower. Labor is so much simpler when you are allowing the process to unfold as your baby needs it to. Not placing an expectation on your "performance" is key. ⁣
⁣
YOU are a mammal. 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱. You've never met someone who's been pregnant forever. 𝗕𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁. ⁣
⁣
There are tools and support available to you in our Hypnobirthing classes. We love to help you find your way to your confidence and the innate power you already have inside. ⁣
