Don't Wing it, Write It: Birth Plan Reality Check
Jun 13, 2024 Season 1 Episode 9
Lisa Villani

In this episode I challenge the traditional birth plan and introduce the concept of a "birth map." Learn how the act of creating a birth plan is the most valuable part, empowering you to gather information, clarify your preferences, and build a communication tool for a positive birthing experience.

This episode debunks the myth of the birth plan as a set-in-stone list of demands. Instead, you'll discover how to:

  • Approach birth planning like research.
  • Break down your non-negotiables.
  • Communicate effectively with your provider.

This episode is packed with insights and inspiration, including a powerful study on choice and control in childbirth experiences. Leave feeling empowered and equipped to navigate the birth journey with confidence, flexibility, and a whole lot less stress!
