The Pelvic Floor Connection

• Supported - Preparing For Birth and Motherhood

   In today’s episode, I chat to the wonderful Kristin Revere (MM, CED, NCS) a doula and author of Supported: Your Guide to Birth and Baby. A book I wish I’d had on my own journey 12 years ago. Kristin takes us through her own powerful story of pregnancy and birth — including the moment she trusted her gut and changed both her provider and her hospital to ensure she felt truly seen and heard.We explore the challenges she faced, from unexpected complications like pre-eclampsia to last-minute shifts in her birth plan, and how she navigated it all by staying connected to her intuition and the knowledge she’d built along the way. Her story is a reminder of just how important it is to stay flexible, stay informed, and to surround yourself with people who respect your choices.Whether you're expecting your first baby or simply interested in the birth world, this episode offers both inspiration and practical insight — especially for those wanting to understand how to advocate for themselves in medical settings.      Connect with Kirstin on:🔗  goldcoastdoulas.com  Cell 616-340-1086.
