You asked, we delivered!
We wanted to provide all the moms to be with an episode they could share with their support people.
We know it can be intimidating to support your wife, daughter, sister, or friend while she is in labor. Hopefully this episode helps!!
After sharing the ideas Trish and I had individually put together,
In today's episode Britt shares with us what inspired her to become a doula as well as her birth stories! She is currently 17 weeks pregnant and she also talks a bit about her preparation for this upcoming birth.

Liz shares her VBA2C story with us today! And she is just the sweetest, you’ll be able to tell that from this episode! I’m always shocked to learn that people haven’t heard of or don’t know what a VBAC is- Vaginal Birth After Cesarean, and we feel it is definitely valuable information to spread. VBACs are real and they are possible. Obviously you need to check with your provider and do it in a safe and informed way, but it is (in our opinion) worth considering for all our lovely c-section mamas!

You KNOW we love a good birth story!! This week’s episode is a little pod swap with Alyssa Carlson of the You Already Are podcast! Trish was on her pod recently and since she is a client of Trish’s we figured it was only fitting to have her as a guest here too.
I (Morgan) am still trying to get ahold of my life with two babies, so Trisha will be doing some episodes for the next little while to help me out!
Alyssa is a client of Trisha’s and met Trish when she was 34 weeks with baby number 4!! Just goes to show, it’s never too late to change your plans.
One of our favorite things from this episode was talking about “giving the storm form” (if you know, you know. and we love you for listening)
By the way, does anyone ever read these episode descriptions anyway?? If you are reading this, DM me to let me know. I have a prize for you. xo

I had an impromptu maternity leave! Baby Bennie joined us earlier than we expected and I wasn't able to set up my pre-recorded episodes like I had planned! But we are back today to share this birth story that is special to us, and we hope you enjoy it too! Bennie, our rainbow baby (pregnancy after a miscarriage that we DO talk about on this episode) was born almost a month early at 36 weeks and 3 days and we were able to have him at home and have nearly all our plans unfold exactly how we'd hoped. Thank you to Trisha Baird for joining us both at the birth and during the recording of this episode!Follow us on instagram: @thebirthvillagepodcast and @thebirthvillage_ or me, @embro_wellness

The main message for this episode is that birth can be beautiful right from the start. It is so common for mothers to prepare for their dream birth after having had a bad experience with previous children, but Hannah wants our listeners to know and understand that you don't have to wait for a bad experience to put in the work for a good one.

Why do we care about birth so much? Why do these things even matter really??
In our society we have accepted the standard of care to be a healthy mom and a healthy baby. And those things are HUGELY important. The most important things. So why do all these other things really matter? .....
We'd love to tell you (;
Trisha and Morgan talk about why you might want to care just a little bit more about birth and its surrounding topics today. Whether you are pre-kids, having kids, or post kids there is something here for everyone.

We haven't yet shared a home birth transfer story, not because we don't want to, but because they aren't all that common. But we do want to make sure to share every type of birth story, and Tami has shared a beautiful story with us today.

Tia Stout was on the podcast a little over a year ago helping us to introduce Southern Utah's Birth Village because she is such a vital member! There is SO much she does to help keep things moving along in our non-profit organization and we are so grateful for her.
A few months ago Tia had her 6th baby in a dramatically different way than she'd had her previous 5. It was a difficult journey for her, and we are grateful that she was willing to be vulnerable enough with us to share this special story.
Tia mentions a few members of our Birth Village that helped her throughout this experience, and we wanted to give them a shoutout here! All of these providers can be found on TheBirthVillage.Org
Janae Sherman, Midwife
Kati Smith, Chiropractor
Briana Bryner, Doula
Mandy Scott, Foot Zoner

Dani Andrew is an incredible woman with quite a story to share. She found a way to overcome some extremely tough life experiences through practicing yoga and now is able to pass on the love an healing she has found in yoga to those that attend her classes.
We do have a pregnancy loss trigger warning within the episode, that is talked about around 14 minutes in and lasts through 24 minutes. It's not graphic, but we (including Dani) wanted to be sensitive to any who are having a hard time dealing with any emotions on this topic.
Dani prepared a very special meditation for us, it starts at 37:11.

We've mentioned "free births" on the podcast before, but we had the chance to interview Laney who actually had a free birth and wanted to share her story!
Laney is a Homecare and Hospice Nurse, and she decided to do a free birth with her most recent (third) baby.
If you don't know, a free birth basically means an unassisted birth, or essentially deciding to give birth at home or somewhere else without the help of a healthcare professional such as a midwife. (Different than an accidental unassisted birth where the baby came before the midwife was able to make it, called "born before arrival")

Brianna Bryner threw herself into learning homeopathy and alternatives to traditional medicine after realizing that traditional medicine wasn't working well for her and her family. She believes in a healthy balance between homeopathy and traditional medicine, and in my eyes has become a fountain of knowledge and a wonderful resource for those of us that are just starting to learn these alternative ways of taking care of ourselves and our families.
Bri mentioned LOTS of great resources and bits of information that I promised I would include in the show notes.... so here all that is! (including some things that weren't mentioned, but that come recommended!)

Jen Atkisson is an amazing example of an empowered woman! Trisha met her at the AWHONN conference and really hit it off! We knew we needed to have her come on and talk to all of you.
In this episode we talked about a book called "Transformed By Birth" by Britta Brushnell, PHD. Definitely go check that one out!
Jen also taught us about asking for an ethics consult if you feel you are being coerced while you are there. We loved this advice! Its such a good way to make sure everyone is working really well together.
She taught us about Informed Consent (and informed refusal) and taught us the acronym PARQ, which stands for Procedure, Alternatives to the procedure, Risks of the procedure, and do you have any Questions? All of these pieces make up true informed consent.
She even talks to us a bit about the "Pitocin Paradigm"
This episode is JAM PACKED! Don't miss it! And make sure to share it with your friends! (:

We've had TONS of requests from you guys to talk about "how to convince your husband to have a homebirth" (and other similar requests).
This is..... not necessarily that episode. Everyone's situation is going to be SO different that it would be impossible to perfectly execute that request. It also brings up the issue of whether or not it is appropriate to "convince" your partner about something!
SO in lieu of answering this request as best as we could, we discuss today some advice on how to have hard conversations about birth when they come up!
I'm joined by my favorite person ever, my husband Tyler Brower who was the best labor support a girl could ask for! And also he has a bachelors degree in communication, so there's that too.

We are so grateful to have had the chance to introduce Dr. Landon Staley, DC. He tells us about the benefits of chiropractic care and specifically what to expect when you go into his office. Dr. Staley is incredibly knowledgable but also personable in a way that will make you feel very comfortable receiving care in his office. After all, it's easier to raise healthy children than fix broken adults! And that all begins in pregnancy!

In this episode we discuss procedures that are commonly done to babies in their first few days of life.
I am joined by Janae Sherman who is a midwife here in the Southern Utah area. She shares information with us on these "newborn procedures" and talks about how important it is to consider risk vs benefit when deciding which of these procedures you'd like to be administered to your baby.
“My opinion isn’t, ‘one option is good and one is bad.’ I think its just important that parents do their research ahead of time and decide what’s right for their baby.”
The statistics and sources shared in this episode will be linked in our instagram bio.
We are so grateful to have had Janae share these facts with us; and don't worry, we will be getting to know her better in a few weeks on "Meet The Village" episode!
