    From the Vault Birth Story: Unmedicated Hospital Birth with Jamie Peterson

    This episode first aired back in August 2023 and it went on to become one of the most downloaded birth stories I have ever put out.  So I'm bringing it back! Whether this is your first time hearing Jamie's story or you are coming back around again, I think you are going to love it. ❤️ Jamie Peterson always knew she wanted to at least TRY for an unmedicated birth. She gathered all the information she could, took the My Essential Birth course with her husband, saw a Webster certified chiropractor, walked and squatted and drank her red raspberry leaf tea, and hired a doula to help bridge the communication gap with her husband when she was deep in labor. And then birth did what birth does... it went completely off script. 😅 Jamie went in for a routine appointment at 39 weeks and 5 days.  Her provider offered a membrane sweep, mentioned it could break her water but she doubted it would, and the moment she went for it, Jamie's water was everywhere.  From there things moved FAST. She got to the hospital around 5:30, kept telling the nurses she was fine and settling in, requested a bath at what she thought was early labor, and got checked to find out she was already at a nine. Her first baby was born at 7:10pm. Water broke at 4:10. Baby in her arms three hours later.  As a FIRST time mom. 👀 This is one of those birth stories that will change what you think is possible, especially if you are a first time mama who has been told to brace for a 24 hour labor.  Jamie is funny, humble, and so honest about the preparation she did and how much of it mattered. I know you are going to love her as much as I do. ❤️ Here are some highlights from the episode: [2:36] Meet Jamie — living in Minnesota with her husband Erik and her daughter Noa who just turned one in March. She is honest right out of the gate that she hated being pregnant, and we get into allll of it. 😂 [4:45] The glucose test scare — what happened when she failed the one-hour test "miserably," and the twist that came with the three-hour. 👀 [6:38] Choosing a hospital birth with a low intervention team — and the one tradeoff that came with it. [8:18] How she "tested" her providers on their induction protocol — and why their answer told her she was exactly where she needed to be. 💪 [8:18] The quote that stopped me in my tracks — it took her husband nine months to learn how to support her, and nine months for her to learn how to be supported by him. 😅 [10:54] Everything she did to prepare — the birth course on the ball every night, Webster chiropractic care from 12 weeks, acupuncture, walking, squats, red raspberry leaf tea, and the affirmations she loved. This is the part that made all the difference. 💪 [10:54] Why she hired a doula — and whether her birth went anything like she pictured. 😅 [18:13] Her birth — the membrane sweep that did NOT go as expected, the "just get settled in" moment that turned into something else entirely, and a labor that left every nurse in the room stunned. 👀 [18:13] Pushing as a first-time mom — the mindset shift that had her thinking "well, that wasn't so bad, I can do it again." 💪 [28:40] How she coped through contractions — the one position that was the only thing that helped. [30:19] Postpartum — immediate skin to skin, delayed cord clamping, and Erik's sweet "I thought we were supposed to wait" moment. ❤️ [31:24] Jamie's best advice for moms and dads — including a reminder you are going to want to hold onto long after birth. 💛 Don't forget to RATE & FOLLOW the Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy Podcast!

    The Vault Essentials: 3 Birth Plan Mistakes That Lead to Regret (And What to Do Instead)

    Back by popular demand, this is one of 2026's most-listened episodes. If you're building your birth plan right now, grab your notebook and tune in, mama! What if the birth plan you worked so hard on… actually set you up for disappointment? Most moms spend hours researching, Googling templates, and checking every box, and still walk away from birth feeling blindsided, unprepared, or like the whole experience just happened around them.  And it's not their fault. It's because nobody ever showed them what a birth plan is actually supposed to do, or the mistakes that quietly sabotage even the most prepared moms in the delivery room. In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the most common birth plan mistakes I see all the time, and more importantly, exactly what to do instead.  Whether you're just starting to think about your birth plan or you already have one and something feels off, this episode is going to change the way you think about it completely. Here are some highlights from the episode: Why the birth plan templates you find online might be working against youThe real reason birth plans fall flat when labor actually beginsMistake #1: The mindset shift that changes how you approach your birth planMistake #2: The powerful (and totally underused) way to use your birth plan before you ever step foot in a delivery roomMistake #3: Why planning only for your ideal birth can leave you feeling lost when things shiftHow to use your birth plan to learn something really important about your provider ahead of timeThe free Birth Map download that makes the whole process feel so much easier: https://www.myessentialbirth.com/birthplan Birth doesn't have to go perfectly for you to walk away feeling incredible about your experience.  What matters most is that you felt informed, understood your options, and had a voice every step of the way.

    Rebroadcast - Unmedicated Birth: How To Prepare If This Is Your Goal

    This is a rebroadcast of one of our most loved episodes — whether you are listening for the first time or coming back for another listen, I know you are going to get something out of it. Enjoy! ❤️ I have three babies I gave birth to and two girls who made me a mama in a different way — and all three times I gave birth I was planning to go unmedicated. It only happened once. And it was not because my body failed me. It was because I did not have the tools I needed and I did not know then what I know now.  About nutrition. About mindset. About preparing my birth partner. About what actually helps once you are deep in labor and things get really hard. That is exactly why this episode exists. In this one I am walking you through everything — starting in pregnancy with nutrition, movement, posture, and mindset work, and moving all the way through labor with the tools, positions, support, and options that make the biggest difference when you are working toward an unmedicated birth.  There is no judgment here about how you choose to give birth. But if unmedicated birth is your goal — I want you to have every single thing you need to get there. ❤️ Here are some highlights from the episode: Why staying healthy and low risk gives you the most options for your birth — and where nutrition fits into all of itThe three exercises and daily movement that prepare your body for labor — and how to actually build the habitWhy your posture matters more than you think for your baby's positionMindset work, positive affirmations, and why this might matter even more for mamas who have given birth beforeLabor practice — what it is, why it works, and how to do it starting todayHow to prepare your birth partner so they actually know how to support you when it countsUnderstanding how birth physiologically works — and why that knowledge changes everything about how it feelsKnowing your options before you get to the induction conversationWhy staying home longer is one of the most powerful tools for an unmedicated birth Water as nature's epidural, freedom of movement, emptying your bladder, and eating and drinking in laborBeing adaptable — why you should never be suffering just to stay unmedicated, and how to make confident decisions if things shiftLinks Mentioned:  🔗 My Essential Birth Course: myessentialbirth.com/getstarted  🔗 3 Free Exercises: myessentialbirth.com/3-exercises  📱 Instagram: @myessentialbirth Don't forget to RATE & FOLLOW the Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy Podcast!

    Elimination Communication: Going Diaper Free From Birth with Andrea Olson

    What if your baby has been trying to tell you they need to go to the bathroom this whole time, and you just did not know how to listen? Before disposable diapers existed, 92% of American babies were out of diapers by 18 months.  Today our average is three years old. And according to my guest today — that shift had nothing to do with biology and everything to do with marketing. Andrea Olson is the author of Go Diaper Free, the world's leading educator on elimination communication, and a mama of six who has never had more than one baby in diapers at a time.  She has helped over a million families start this practice across the world. And in this episode she breaks down everything you need to know from what elimination communication actually is, to the cues your baby is already giving you, to how to start from the very first day of your baby's life. I sat with this conversation for a long time after we finished recording. Babies are not any different biologically than they were before disposable diapers existed. They still have the same instincts. They are still trying to tell us what they need. We just stopped listening.  And this episode is going to change the way you think about diapers, potty training, and tuning into your baby from day one. ❤️ Here are some highlights from the episode: What elimination communication actually is — and the instincts babies are born with that we have completely lost touch with in the Western worldThe Pampers story that will make your jaw drop — what Andrea learned from a conversation with an actual Pampers executive and how it changed the way pediatricians talk about potty training foreverWhen to start and what it actually looks like — from brand new newborns to mobile babies to young toddlersThe two simple things Andrea recommends starting with that take almost no extra time or effortThe cues your baby is already giving you — from bearing down and staring off into space to popping off the breast and trying to escape the carrierThe difference between elimination communication and potty training — and why understanding that difference changes everythingWhat this looks like in real life for mamas going back to work, families with multiple kids, and babies in daycareThe bonding piece — why every single person who has done elimination communication says it is one of the most connecting experiences of early parenthoodThe three biggest things that surprised Andrea across six babies and over a million familiesHow much money you actually save — Andrea has saved $12,000 in diapers across six kidsTwo free resources Andrea put together specifically for our listeners today🎁 Free resources for listeners: Head to www.myessentialbirth.com/EC to grab the Easy Start Guide and the Potty Training Primer.

    Your Legal Rights in the Birth Room with Attorney Hermine Hayes-Klein

    Signing the general consent form when you walk into the hospital does not mean you have agreed to everything that follows.  Not the Pitocin.  Not the vaginal exam.  Not the electronic fetal monitor.  Not the cesarean.  Not the hospital policy.  Every single one of those still requires your informed consent. I had the privlege of sitting down with Hermine Hayes-Klein, an attorney who has spent 25 years specializing in women's rights in pregnancy and childbirth.  She moved to the Netherlands while pregnant with her first baby, watched a completely different birth system up close for five years, came home, and became a lawyer who takes the birth cases nobody else will touch.  The ones where the baby is okay but the mama is not. She represents the women nobody is fighting for. And she wins. What Hermine shares about your actual rights in the birth room is the kind of information that changes how you walk into every single prenatal appointment and ultimately into your birth.   Here are some highlights from the episode: What informed consent actually means — and why signing a general consent when you walk into the hospital does not cover everything that followsThe real cases behind Hermine's work — and why she started taking them when nobody else wouldWhat hospital policies can and cannot do — and why they do not get to override your legal and constitutional rightsThe specific ACOG documents Hermine recommends having printed and highlighted in your hospital bag before labor startsThe five sets of risks every pregnant mama deserves to weigh when making birth decisions — and why providers are only ever talking about one of themInduction, breech birth, electronic fetal monitoring, AMA — what you actually need to know about each of theseThe exact language you can use to hold your ground in the birth room without being rudeConnect with Hermine: 🌐 Website: Hayes Klein Law: https://www.hayeskleinlaw.com/  📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herminehayesklein/ Documents to print and put in your hospital bag: 📄 ACOG Ethics Committee Opinion — Maternal Refusal of Medically Recommended Treatment (June 2016) 📄 ACOG Committee Opinion on VBAC — if you are a VBAC mama 📄 ACOG Committee Opinion on Breech — most recent version 📄 Your state's informed consent statute — Oregon's is ORS 677.097 Research mentioned: 🔬 Search Neel Shah and Ank de Jonge together with the word induction or gestational age to find the three country study mentioned in this episode Don't forget to RATE & FOLLOW the Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy Podcast!

    The Truth About Gestational Diabetes Testing, Nutrition & Birth with Midwives, Bonnie Baker & Karina Robinson

    Gestational diabetes is one of those topics that every pregnant mama needs to understand way before she ever gets to that 28 week test, whether she thinks it applies to her or not.  And I could not be more excited about who I brought in to talk about it today. Bonnie and Karina are midwives in Davis County Utah and two of my favorite people in the birth world.  I met them early in my birth work journey and I have never stopped being grateful for it. Bonnie has a background in nutrition and has been in birth work since 2014.  Karina has had type one diabetes for over 35 years and lives this every single day. Between the two of them, they know more about gestational diabetes than most providers you will ever sit across from. I have actually told Bonnie that if I ever get pregnant again, I am either flying her out to me or heading to Utah, because these are the women I want in my corner. 💛 This conversation is practical, surprising, and one of the most helpful episodes I have recorded on pregnancy nutrition and testing.  I learned things I was not expecting to learn. And I think you will too. Here are some highlights from the episode: What gestational diabetes actually is, and the perfect way to describe what happens between the placenta and pancreas during pregnancyThe difference between type one, type two, and gestational diabetes, and the PCOS connection, most providers are not makingThe testing methods Bonnie and Karina actually trust and why eating jelly beans, pancakes, or a banana before your test is giving you a wildly inaccurate pictureWhat the nutrition protocol actually looks like when someone tests positive, and why every single mama who has been compliant with their plan has had a wonderful outcomeThe real truth about carbs and gestational diabetes that most people are getting completely wrongSomething about the health of dads and the placenta that genuinely stopped me mid-conversation 👀The signs and symptoms most mamas do not know to look for and why gestational diabetes unfortunately does not always announce itselfThe risk factors list that is longer than most people realize and why very few women can actually say none of these apply to meWhat managed versus unmanaged gestational diabetes means for your birth optionsThe postpartum screening that is in all the literature and almost nobody is doingThe simplest thing you can do after every meal that has a real measurable effect on your blood sugarConnect with Bonnie & Karina:  📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/daviscountymidwives/   📍 Birth Center: Bountiful, Utah https://daviscountymidwives.com/ Don't forget to RATE & FOLLOW the Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy Podcast!

    Tongue Ties, Breastfeeding & Baby Development: Everything You Need to Know with Michelle Emanuel

    Is your baby fussy, clicking while nursing, struggling with tummy time, or just not quite seeming like themselves, and nobody can give you a straight answer about why? In this episode, I sit down with Michelle Emanuel, pediatric occupational therapist, board-certified lactation consultant, and one of the leading experts in tongue tie and oral function, and we take a deep dive into all things tongue-tie. Because tongue tie is not just about nursing pain or a string under the tongue.  It is connected to how your baby breathes, how they move their body, why they are gassy and fussy, why they hate tummy time, and if it goes undetected, to speech challenges, crowded teeth, sleep issues, and emotional dysregulation years down the road....like, what?! But it's true! I have been in the birth world for 14 years and I walked away from this conversation looking at things completely differently.  In fact I went and looked inside all of my teenagers' mouths when we finished recording and I am not even a little bit embarrassed about it. 😂  I know you are going to love Michelle as much as I do. ❤️  Here are some highlights from the episode: What a tongue tie actually is and why it is so much more than a string under the tongueSigns before your baby is even born that could indicate a tongue tieThe breastfeeding signs most mamas miss that are actually connected to tongue tieWhy a baby who is gaining well and nursing okay is not always in the clearWho should actually be checking for tongue tie and why going straight to a release provider is not always the right first stepWhat a release actually is and what is really happening during the procedureThe difference between a mildly, moderately, and significantly impacted tongue tieHow the tongue functions as a breathing organ and what that means for your baby's airway developmentWhat those little squeaking snorting congested sounds might actually be telling youWhat happens when tongue tie does not get caught early and the signs that show up in older kidsThe one thing Michelle wants every parent to take away and start doing with their baby todayConnect with Michelle:  📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonguetiebabies/ ▶️ YouTube: Michelle Emanuel: https://www.youtube.com/user/MichelleE110/videos 🌐 Website: tummytimemethod.com Don't forget to RATE & FOLLOW the Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy Podcast!
