PREGNANT COUPLE

Currently Playing: My Labor & Delivery Story For My Third Baby

My positive labor & delivery story with baby #3! I'm sharing my full birth story while it's still fresh, from the ways I tried to induce labor and the membrane sweep that finally got things moving, to my water breaking on its own for the first time ever. In this episode, I chat about the labor progression, the postpartum cramping I completely forgot about, and why I'm more at peace in the newborn bubble than I've ever been. If you're nervous about giving birth, I hope this gives you some comfort that good deliveries happen too! Key Takeaway / Points: My "evict baby" week of acupuncture, reflexology, curb walking, sex, and a very good membrane sweep A full timestamp of my time in the hospital before delivery and getting the epidural in time Why the L&D nurse might matter more to your delivery than the doctor What happened in the moments after I gave birth to my third baby The brutal third-time cramping and soaking up the newborn bubble with my last baby This episode is sponsored by Natural Cycles, the company behind the first FDA-cleared, hormone-free, and non-invasive birth control app that helps prevent or plan pregnancy naturally.
