13. Waiting for Baby, the Patience Episode

"Adopt the patience of nature, her secret is patience." Ralph Waldo Emerson

This episode is all about waiting for baby, what it takes to have patience and what you can do to help your labor start on time. 

A lot is packed into this episode, including:

• Some of my most favorite quotes from all across history and cultures. 
• How preparing for birth is like running a marathon, and what that really means. 
• Practical tips on what you can do to right now to prepare for a more timely start to your birth.

In this episode, you will hear from Ye Feng from the 18th Century in China and his Treatise on Childbirth, and Dr Tadashi Yoshimura, a Japanese obstetrician who wrote Joyous Childbirth Changes the World, about their approaches to supporting calm, natural birth.
