Reclaim your power: inspiration and reflections for pregnancy, childbirth and beyond

Episode 7: Birth your way I - preparing your body

Fungisai Gwanzura Ottemöller Season 1 Episode 8

In this episode, I reflect on how we can prepare our bodies for birth. I present the analogy of labour as similar to running a marathon and how we should not approach this transformational but challenging undertaking unprepared. I share some of the steps I took during pregnancy and reflect on how I think these may have influenced my birthing processes. This is the first in a series of three episodes on birthing your way.
