#8: Crissa's Birth Story

Is it hard for you to imagine yourself giving birth with no epidural and having a positive birth story? Many women, because of fear surrounding birth, don’t believe that their body is capable of a natural labor and delivery. In today’s Built to Birth Podcast, Crissa shares her journey from thinking that an epidural was her only option to believing that she truly is BUILT TO BIRTH without an epidural. And Mama, you are built to birth too!  Whether you want to labor without an epidural or with one, it’s important to know and believe that you are capable of having a positive birth story and making whatever decisions are necessary from a place of empowerment. Knowing how to have a calm birth is so powerful whether you want the least or the most interventions in your birth experience. In Crissa’s calm birth story, she talks about her membrane sweep, laboring as long as possible at home, using a birth ball in labor, and using visualization. You are going to love her insight and encouragement no matter what kind of birth you are desiring - Enjoy Crissa’s empowering natural birth story!
