Quick note, this podcast is for educational purposes only, and does not replace your medical advice. Check out our full disclaimer at the bottom of the show notes. Hello. Hello. YDR. Three power moves that you can do for your birth. And part of this is coming [00:01:00] from a conversation that I had with a, an attorney who works on childbirth cases.
If you have an attorney working on childbirth cases, it's not a good situation. You guys get that, right? I want to ask you a question. What do you think is one of the most powerful things you can do to prevent birth trauma? What do you guys think is like one of the most powerful moves you can make?
And I'm not making this up. This is fact. What is the one of the most powerful things you can do to keep? yourself from having a traumatic birth experience. One that involves interventions and devastation even. Prepare and speak up for yourself. So what do you mean by prepare? Let's break that down because you're getting close.
his is why I took myself out [:
So imagine if you will, That an option is presented to you by a doctor or a nurse and you don't know what the heck she's talking about and you don't know what the alternatives are and you don't know why it's normally used and you don't know what it's used for. You're going to say yes, I promise you.
pharmacology, tells you when [:
You have just taken yourself out of that common thread. Of people who end up in baby childbirth cases with trauma. Knowledge is power. Don't you know how we, how we're like, Oh, I love you. I love that. I love this. And we've really watered down the term. I love you. I think we've really watered down the term knowledge is power, but when it comes to your birth experience, knowledge is everything.
And I will say that too. I'm blue in the face. I pray to goodness. You choose my birth class. I know you're here for a reason. I pray that you join our birth classes. The reason we do these special enrollments. Is to encourage more of you guys to join us because our goal here, mine and my doulas, my entire team is to change the birth culture so that you don't need an attorney for your childbirth.
le went down, right? So your [:
You cannot get better than that. Okay, so your first power move is education. What do you think your next power move is? What's the next thing? That is, okay, so here, so she told me that the common thing that all of her cases have is Pitocin in common. All of these trauma cases, all of these terrible litigation cases, Pitocin.
Okay? The one thing they all have in common that they didn't have, what do you guys think it was? What do you think that the majority of the people who don't end up, now we've already said she, she said one thing is a childbirth class, taking a good childbirth class, that's one thing they don't have in common.
er thing is educated support [:
She's theirs. She said that all of these clients, none of them have a doula. So does that make a case for having a doula? If you can't afford an in person doula, then you have options like we offer, our Labor Bat Signal, where you have a group chat on Telegram with me and two doulas to help you navigate those choices, just to have some extra support.
d power move that you Got to [:
Is mindset. It's the mental. Part of birth, the more worked up, the less knowledge you have, the more worked up you'll get, the more anxious you'll get, the more fearful you get, the more easy you'll be to be bullied and coerced. So when you get the knowledge along with that, you have to work on your mindset.
So my full birth program works on three parts. We've got three parts. You've got the knowledge, the mindset, and then the ability to speak up the willingness to advocate for yourself. None of them work on their own. They all have to be melded to get to that middle sweet spot, which is bold, empowered, and knowledgeable.
u to where, not only are you [:
Hey there. I hope you enjoyed this short little shorty short that I did on Instagram talking about three of the most powerful moves you can make to have your best birth. If you do not believe me at this point, if you do not know your options, you don't have any. Bye. Educate yourself, empower your support team, and work on your mindset because you are a freaking birth queen.
