113: The Clutch Doula: Support When Things Don't Go According to Plan
Manage episode 417833101 series 2801904
Personal trainer Leia wanted a homebirth, but because her husband wasn’t comfortable with that idea hired hospital midwives instead. She did lots of prenatal education and prep, and hired doulas who were the perfect fit for her. In hindsight she’s very glad she did that because she knew how to both advocate for herself and had an advocate there to help her navigate the unexpected twists and turns of her birth. Things like her water breaking as the first sign of labor as well as labor going on for longer than she anticipated. She’s able to have the birth without pain meds that she hoped for, but certain hospital pressures require some strong self-advocacy all along the way. You’ll also hear her describe how indispensable postpartum support was with her doulas, a lactation consultant, a virtual postpartum support group, and bodywork for her baby.
