49. Joanna's Natural Birth After 2 Medicated Births

49. Joanna's Natural Birth After 2 Medicated Births

Author: Cait Hayes April 20, 2023 Duration: 48:44

Hi everyone!

Joanna joins us to talk about her third birth. Her first two births were medicated, although the epidural didn't really take! During her pregnancies she did want to try for natural births, but says she wasn't really prepared mentally. She did the research before her third labor by talking with friends who've been through it and listening to podcasts (like this one!) and had the beautiful unmedicated birth she wanted!

We have merch! Check out our Bonfire store to see the designs!

Don’t forget to give us a five star review on iTunes so we can continue doing what we do! And follow along on Instagram

Until next time,

Kali + Cait



Cait Hayes hosts Birth Naturally, a space dedicated to honest conversations about the entire journey of bringing a child into the world without medical intervention. This podcast moves beyond simple birth stories to explore the physical, emotional, and practical realities of med-free birth and the life that follows. You'll hear from a variety of voices-people who are trying to conceive, those pregnant for the first time, and experienced parents-all sharing their unique perspectives and hard-won wisdom. The aim is to build a supportive community where information is exchanged freely, not to prescribe a single right way, but to illuminate the many paths available. Each episode delves into personal narratives and discussions meant to foster a sense of confidence and self-trust. Tuning in provides a sense of companionship, reminding you that you're not navigating these profound questions and experiences alone. For anyone curious about or committed to a natural birth process, this podcast serves as a valuable resource and a source of genuine empowerment, from pregnancy through the early years of parenting.
