481: Two Confident and Fearless Home Births and the Importance of Doing Your Homework with Emily Stanwyck (DIAH Classic)
Manage episode 411778479 series 2394616
When it comes to birth, what does it mean to “do your homework?”
This is a big theme of our conversation with Emily Stanwyck, birth doula, Birthfit trainer and home birth mom of 2.
According to Emily, “you can have 2 perfect home births when you do your homework!”
We talk about what this means for her not only as a doula but as a mother. Plus details of both of her home births, addressing the fear of the unknown and talking about the really uncomfortable things that can come up around birth and having a “why” around your birth.
Things we talk about in this episode: birth partner asking questions and feeling confident in their role, doing your homework in prep for home birth, connection of birth and death, letting go during labor, feeling confident in your body and birth, fetal ejection reflex, having a postpartum plan.
