Ep160: 9 Tips for an Unmedicated (Often Referred to as “Natural”) Birth
In today’s episode you’re going to learn 9 tips for having an unmedicated birth. This is an episode I initially did over 3 years ago. From time to time I like to go back and revisit older episodes as new information comes out or I learn new things. So we are revisiting those 9 things with some additional tidbits of advice.
Why do I say unmedicated instead of natural? Well, because that’s what it is! It’s giving birth without medication (most often people mean without an epidural). All birth is natural - procreation, continuing the species, that’s natural. The way that you manage pain doesn’t affect whether it’s natural or not.
In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:
-What are some questions you should ask yourself before committing to an unmedicated birth
-Why unmedicated birth requires a commitment
-Why you need to communicate your wishes to your support team in advance
-What makes preparation so vital to an unmedicated birth
-Why it’s a good idea to stay home as long as possible
-How to know when it’s time to go to the hospital
-Why you want to stay with the pain instead of fighting it
-What are the advantages of seeking out a nurse who has experience with unmedicated birth
