Hi, I'm Stephanie Poole, founder and CEO of Birth Prep Academy. I'm on a mission to help pregnant moms prepare for their first hospital birth. I'm sharing revealing conversations about what it really takes to successfully transition into motherhood. So join me. Here to discover things like what to expect in childbirth, how to prepare for your birth. We'll also talk about breastfeeding and so much more. I'm so grateful to share it all with you right here on Oh Baby, the podcast created for pregnant moms preparing for their first hospital birth. Let's get started. All right, let's get real. If you are pregnant right now, you've probably had that moment. You know the, oh crap, I actually have to give birth moment. Maybe it hit you in the middle of the night while you were scrolling through some wild stories online, Or maybe someone actually asked, so what's your birth plan? And you, you just froze. If that sounds way too familiar, then stick with me, because by the end of this video, you'll know exactly how to go from feeling overwhelmed and anxious to walking into birth like a boss. I'm talking fully prepared, totally confident, and in control of your birth experience, and I'll let you in on a little. Secret, the way to get there. It is not just wishful thinking. No, absolutely not. We are not doing that this year. It's not just hoping for the best'cause. We are not doing that either. It's about having a proven plan and that my friend is where I've got you covered. So let's talk about it. Bump to bundle. Blueprint. It's the only birth prep system that takes you from what if to, oh, I got this. So stick with me as I walk you through. Now let's dive in. So right now, if you are like most first time moms, you're probably feeling maybe overwhelmed by all of the conflicting birth advice, epidural, natural home birth. What's the right choice? You might even feel a little terrified of the unknowns, right? What if something goes wrong or what if I freeze up? Maybe you've asked yourself that. You might be worried you won't be able to handle the pain because let's be real. Labor is no joke. Or you might be anxious that doctors will start making decisions for you. You know, decisions that you might actually regret later. And honestly, those are all valid feelings. Most moms go into birth. Just hope. Thing that they'll be told what to do. But here's the thing that my friend is a big mistake. Birth is unpredictable, and when you don't have a plan, when you don't know what's happening inside your body or how to advocate for yourself. You are way more likely to end up with unnecessary interventions, a longer, more painful labor, and a birth that feels completely out of your control. and that's not what I want for you. That's why I created. Bump to bundle blueprint. It's the step-by-step system that gives you total clarity, total confidence, and the ability to navigate labor like a pro. And I'm talking about no matter. What happens? Imagine this, you're walking into labor, calm and in control. You know exactly what's happening in your body and you know how to handle contractions. Yes. Even the hard ones. And you're making informed choices that's right for you, not just what's convenient for the hospital. By the time your baby is in your arms, you're saying, I did it. I was prepared, I was in control, and I wouldn't change a thing. That's what Bump to Bundle Blueprint helps you to do. Inside you'll learn the. Step-by-step labor process so that you are never caught off guard. You're gonna learn how to manage pain like a pro with or without an epidural. The secret to pushing effectively so that you're not wasting energy or so that you're not tearing unnecessarily. You are also gonna learn how to speed up recovery and avoid some common postpartum struggles. This isn't just another birth class. This is the birth prep system that makes birth something that you actually can handle. Now I know what you might be thinking because I've worked with enough clients to understand some of those thoughts that are racing in your mind. Things like, well, I'll just figure it out when the time comes. Mm mm mm Say it with me. We are not doing that this year. Birth isn't the time to wing it. Let me say that again. Birth is not the time to wing it without preparation. You're at the mercy of the hospital protocols and last minute guesswork. Maybe one of those thoughts. Is, well, I'll just rely on my doctor to guide me, but listen, your doctor, I'm sure is great, right? But they're managing dozens of births a day. Their priority is efficiency, not making sure that your experience is exactly how you want it. That's your job. Maybe one of those thoughts is, well, I don't have time for another class. My life is busy. I get it. You are busy. That's why I designed this blueprint to be straight and to the point. I'm talking no fluff, no wasted time. Just what you need to actually be prepared. Now, if I've heard this one, I've heard it a thousand times. Those thoughts of is this worth the investment? And let me ask you this. How much is your birth experience worth to you? I see moms spend thousands of dollars on baby gear that they never even use, but sometimes they skip right over the one thing that actually affects their birth experience. You only get one shot at every birth. So let's make this one, the one that you'll remember for the right reasons. So here's the deal. You have two choices right now. You can keep scrolling, you can watch more videos. You can try to pin together some kind of preparation by Googling everything willy-nilly on on the internet, right? But that may leave you stuck in fear and just hoping for the best. Can somebody say hashtag risky? Yeah, or you can take action today and get the confidence, the clarity, and the control that you deserve.
