Foundations for the Childbearing Years
Ep. 12: One Mom’s Journey to Owning Her Births w/ Amanda Briscoe
What does it look like to grow in confidence as a mom from one birth to the next? In this episode, I sit down with my friend Amanda, who shares her journey of having three very different births — first in the hospital with an OB, then in the hospital with midwives, and most recently in a birth center. We talk about what it felt like to hand over decisions to her doctor the first time, how she began advocating for herself the second time (even against pushback from nurses), and the freedom and support she experienced the third time around. Her story is an encouraging reminder that you can learn to be the boss of your pregnancy and birth — and that each experience can teach you something valuable for the next.
Thanks for listening!
