About this episode
In this episode of Entering Motherhood, host Sarah Marie and I dive into my very different birth stories: the unexpected emergency C-section for my first daughter and the powerful, unmedicated birth of my second. We explore how understanding your rights—through informed consent and clear communication with your care team—can completely reshape your experience in the delivery room. I share why having a doula by your side isn’t just a luxury but a key to feeling heard and supported, and how crafting a flexible birth plan and preparing both mentally and emotionally for labor sets the stage for empowerment. Join us as we celebrate the transformative journey of motherhood and the confidence that comes from being truly informed and backed by a caring birth team.
