[Birth Stories] How She Prepared Differently to Avoid Another Managed Birth
Danielle Ford has had two very distinct births, with her first happening with minimal preparation and many interventions. It wasn’t until getting pregnant 10 years later that she realized she carried a lot of trauma from birth number one. She shares with Adriana how taking a deep dive into her birth options, and intentionally preparing to have a more connected birth allowed for a birth imbued with confidence and flexibility, despite facing the possibility of another induction.

Birth Principles: Enhance Your Birth Plan!
Today we’re going beyond the birth plan to talk about birth principles! Although a well-crafted birth plan can be a powerful tool, more often than not they're formulaic, and outcome-focused nature can give a false illusion of control, and even elicit eye rolls from jaded caregivers. Jessie Harrold shares with Adriana how your efforts may be better spent on first crafting your own set of birth principles.

How to Set Up Your Childcare Options to Include Community Care
Great childcare–so, a solution that you can afford, has availability, works with your schedule, and can provide loving and safe care for your child–can be hard to find! Most often than not, you will have to concede some trade-offs. Leslie Borrell explains the different childcare options out there, the reality behind economic subsidy programs, and how to communicate your non-negotiables to those caring for your child. She also shares with Adriana why it can be life-changing to practice broadening your community circles of support when your baby is little, so that you build a community care network that will grow with your child that you can then combine with whatever transactional forms of childcare you decide to pursue (or not!).

Customer Reviews
Helpful podcast
I listened to few episodes before my wife and I had our second child and they were interesting and informative. Little did I know that our midwife wouldn’t make it in time for the birth and even just the few episodes I listened to were very helpful in staying calm. My wife and son did an amazing job and it was a great birth and a very special experience for my wife and I to share. Would highly recommend.
Best birthy podcast!
Adriana is a masterful interviewer, podcaster, and educator. She knows how to get to the heart of what matters. She provides a huge array of helpful episodes. A must listen if you’re a birth pro or an expecting family!
