Kate and Amanda had the pleasure of interviewing Brenda Annen, an incredible Birthkeeper.
They discussed the importance of physiological birth and debunked common misconceptions surrounding pregnancy and childbirth.
Here are three key takeaways from the conversation:
1️⃣ Respect the natural progression: Physiological birth involves understanding and supporting the woman's body and the hormones that facilitate labor. By avoiding unnecessary interventions such as vaginal exams and rushing the process, we can create a more empowering birth experience.
2️⃣ Build a supportive team: It's crucial to have a strong support system during pregnancy and childbirth. Whether it's hiring a doula or seeking alternative practitioners, surrounding yourself with professionals who align with your birth preferences can make all the difference.
3️⃣ Raise your voice and ask questions: Brenda emphasized the importance of advocating for ourselves and questioning recommendations from healthcare providers. Understanding the risks and benefits of tests and procedures empowers us to make informed decisions about our own bodies and births.
Gear up for an enlightening episode where Brenda Annen shares her personal experiences, debunks common myths, and provides invaluable insights into creating a positive and transformative birth experience.
