If you’re heading into labor for the first time, you are heading into the unknown. With this experience we can feel a wide range of emotions including everything from fear to excitement. As a mom of three, nurse, doula, and co-founder of Expecting and Empowered, it is my goal to help you move toward acceptance and preparation versus avoidance when it comes to labor and delivery.

We know that our mindset plays a pivotal role in birth. Have you heard of the fear/pain cycle? I explain what this is and how it can result in more pain. I go through what the most common fears are that women have when it comes to labor and ways to work through them. I remind you that every birth story is meant to be different and to try not to compare yours to others.

Making sure your mind is ready for labor and delivery will help to set you up for the birth you’re envisioning and desiring. We hope you find this episode so helpful. We would love it if you shared it on your Instagram tagging @expectingandempowered. Remember, you can do this. Your body can do amazing things!
