  What happens when your due date collides with a snowstorm in Georgia?When I first connected with Abby, I knew her birth story was going to be special, but GAH!!

As a first-time mom, she navigated early bloody show, a surprise snowstorm, and nearly three days of labor with an amazing, calm, grounded intuition that’s absolutely contagious.From the nausea that knocked her off her feet in the first trimester to the “crunchy-meets-medical” compromise she and her husband made for a hospital birth with a doula, we walked through the nitty gritty of pregnancy and labor, the most common issues every couples deal with for pregnancy & birth, and the incredible birth story she gets to share with all of you. You’ll hear:The physical prep (yes, we’re talking deep squats in the shower and red raspberry leaf tea) and the mental prep that helped her stay strong through every stage.Why breaking her water (something she didn’t plan to do) ended up being the right call.How her husband and doula worked together with a “third-party consent” rule that kept her fully in control. That unforgettable moment she reached down and felt her baby’s head for the first time.Why she believes her unmedicated birth shaped her beautiful postpartum experience and lasting confidence as a mom.Resources Mentioned In This Episode:The Fresh Test For 20% OFF use Coupon Code: MYESSENTIALBIRTH My Essential Birth CourseMy Essential Birth Postpartum CourseMy Essential Birth InstagramThree exercises to help prepare you for your BEST birthTo Leave a Review ⭐️Open Apple PodcastsFind “Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy” podcastSelect “Ratings and Reviews”Click the stars!Select “Write a Review” and tell us what was the most amazing, comforting, eye-opening thing that you loved!GET IN TOUCH! 🤩Reach out at any time to [email protected].

• Postpartum Healing Without the Pressure to “Bounce Back” with Dr. Jessica London

  No one told me that postpartum recovery isn’t just about “getting back to normal.” It’s about rebuilding from the inside out, pelvic floor, core, energy, mindset, and that what you do (and don’t do) in those early days matters more than you think.That’s why I brought Dr. Jessica London, pelvic floor therapist and mama’s best friend in recovery, on the podcast to walk you through exactly what’s happening in your body and how to move forward, without overdoing it. (And she was kind enough to share her Core Recovery Guide with our community!) Postpartum healing is deeply connected to how you move, rest, and nourish yourself right now. Pushing too hard can set you back, but intentional movement, pelvic floor awareness, and smart recovery practices can actually make you stronger than before. Whether you’re 2 days, 2 months, or 2 years postpartum, this episode gives you a roadmap for recovery that lasts.Show Notes Here!Where to Find Jessica: Instagram Website PodcastLinks Mentioned:Episode #275 - Pelvic Floor 101: What Every New Mom Needs to Know with Dr. Jessica LondonThe Core Recovery Guide My Essential Birth CourseMy Essential Birth Postpartum CourseMy Essential Birth InstagramGET IN TOUCH! 🤩Reach out at any time to [email protected].
