[Birth Stories] How She Confidently and Calmly Gave Birth in a Moving Car
Laura Loos has had two non-medicated vaginal births, with her second one happening so super fast, that it involved birthing while in a moving car! She shares with Adriana how connecting with her inner voice and trusting the abundant preparation she had done during pregnancy allowed her to be calm, present, and pragmatic during the unexpectedness of it all. So much so that, once she got to her hospital room, she took full charge of the birth of her placenta.

[Birth Stories] How She Reframed Birth Toward Pleasure and Let Her Power Flow
Maya Ehnat was brought up to be comfortable with birth, and so from the get-go, her language and approach weren’t fear-based. Beyond that, much of the preparation she did during pregnancy was guided by a desire to minimize trauma and bring heaps of pleasure and joy into the experience. She shares with Adriana how although her first birth was long and quite challenging, she wouldn’t describe it as painful. Now her second birth? That one was filled with power, permission, fluidity, and delight.

Customer Reviews
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!
Love This Podcast
As a doula I’m always looking for inclusive resources for me and my clients! Thank you for using gender inclusive language! ❤️
No, just no.
I turned it off at, “tell us how you identify”, “my pronouns are she/her”, “birth person” … you mean, woman.
