The Oh Baybee! Podcast Stephanie Poole

EP 28:
Here’s how a birth blueprint will take your birth to the next level.
As a mom of 2, I know how excited you are to give birth. I also know it’s incredibly overwhelming trying to figure out how to prepare for it. Especially if you've never done it before. My friend, birth preparation is one of the most challenging aspects of giving birth! And if you’re relying solely on google, it can be even more difficult. 
Although google is great for quick tidbits, it won't fully support you for birth. The missing piece is often having a plan...a blueprint! And that’s where Bump To Bundle Blueprint comes in! It's a step-by-step guide to help you go from novice to pro. This strategy will support you from birth through postpartum.
I know – it almost sounds too good to be true! But believe me, the secret success of this strategy is backed by real data from my work as a doula and from tons of my students who have created blueprints that have helped them birth well. So, today, I’m lifting the curtain on preparing and perfecting your plan for birth! 
Listen in and remember that creating a blueprint isn't just about planning. It's about creating the ultimate birth story that you'll share for a lifetime. Trust me, you won’t regret giving it a try! 
 Happy Birthing!

EP 26:
Everyone asking, "What do you need for the baby?" Or "How can I help?" Here’s my 6 simple ways to guide your village towards successfully supporting you after birth.
The thought of giving birth is enough to overwhelm you. I know that because not only have I felt this way before, but I've supported clients who've expressed the same sentiment.
Sometimes the thought of asking for support in specific areas can feel a bit forward - even to the point where you question if you should say anything at all (or just carry the load) After all, you're a master at "getting things done".
But let me tell you my sweet friend, setting yourself up for postpartum success is the new flex.
You are growing and giving birth to a whole human. That's definitely worthy of the rest and recovery you need to successfully transition into motherhood.
Now here’s the good news. In this episode, I’m sharing my simple 6 ways to be supported by friends and family in the first week (wait for it) ...WITHOUT having everyone stopping by for a visit.
(Unless that's your thang. If so, rock on with your bad self)
Here’s the icing on the cake. These tips offer value to you, while allowing those who care about you the most, to offer a gesture of support during one of the most pivotal times of your life.
So, if you’re ready to position yourself for a postpartum victory, then grab something to take notes and pay close attention to this episode. 
Happy Birthing!

"...If I had a dollar for every piece of unsolicited advice I've received as a mom, I'd be in the financial company of Kylie and Rhianna."

I'll be honest - while most of it has been well-intended, a lot of it has been inaccurate and sometimes not true! (Just so we're clear: it's impossible to spoil a newborn)
The thing is, when you’re just starting out, you gotta learn how to be confident when tackling the tough issues — and the sooner you understand that the more time you'll have to spend on the important things, like creating special moments with the people who matter most and bonding with your baby.
That’s why I recorded this episode for you. In it, I share the simple yet specific tips for new moms to be confident even when the topics get sticky. 
How do I deal with that family member who insists on offering their opinion? I'm glad you asked my sweet friend.
Tune in to this episode to learn when and how to create healthy boundaries. Let's face it, it's likely to happen - don't sweat the small stuff.  Instead, use the tips in this episode to handle those potentially awkward situations once and for all.
Happy listening!

How to curate the memory of a priceless lifetime moment (& how your sweet baby will thank you for it.)
I’m going to let you in on a little secret — documenting your pregnancy and birth is one of the smartest things you can do. Alright...so maybe that's not really a secret. But now that I've got your attention, let's talk about
Why you should intentionally record/document aspects of your birth journey.
Let's face it. Giving birth is arguably one of the most important things you'll ever do. And for that reason alone, it's worth remembering.
This is truly something I wish someone would have stressed to me and thus the reason I'm stressing it to you.
I'm not one for regret. However, if given a second chance, documenting my pregnancy is definitely something I'd jump at the opportunity to intentionally and carefully do.
Here’s the good news. By listening to this episode, you can slam the door in the face of regret (concerning your pregnancy at least) - before it ever comes a knockin'.
That’s why I wanted to record this episode for you.
In it, I share:
Why you should document your birth journeyWhat it will cost you, if you DON'T document your journey ...And special moments to remember
Now if that wasn't enough, I've also included an extra special treat - A FREE Special Moments Checklist to make it even easier for you to jumpstart your efforts to start documenting your birth journey today!
Okay Mama!
Pop in those ear buds, grab your favorite drink (non-alcoholic of course) hit play and ENJOY!
