Birth With Power

Ep 263: Erica’s Birth Story - Loving Every Moment of Birth

43 min • 25 juni 2024

Erica experienced two miscarriages prior to the birth story we're going to hear today. After over a year and a half of heartbreaking loss, this pregnancy was completely normal - no nausea, no sickness, no pain.


Now at 38 weeks, some symptoms developed that caused her doctor to recommend induction. Erica wanted an unmedicated birth and you’re going to learn all about how she used movement for pain management in this great episode. I felt so inspired by her strength and I know you will too!

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

  • Why Erica’s OB recommended induction
  • Which medications were used to induce labor
  • Why she felt unhappy with the initial on-call doctor
  • How she describes the sensation of her water breaking
  • What made her feel better about the new doctor at shift change
  • Why the presence of a travel nurse trained as a doula was serendipitous
  • Why she opted for a hands-and-knees birthing position
