Episode 330: The Missing Piece in Your Birth Prep

To Birth and Beyond

In today’s episode, Anita talks about something that she goes through with her prenatal physio clients, students in Bump to Birth, and recently in her live, prenatal pelvic floor masterclass: PRACTICING! Strategies for labor, pushing, and support (for partner/birthing support persons). Now you will. Even if your birthing experience takes twists and turns, you will be informed and feel confident in asking questions to navigate those situations for a positive birth experience.
