Baby being malpositioned is one of the leading causes of unplanned c-sections. In this episode I share how my first daughter's positioning led to my c-section. I also discuss the changes I made with my second daughter to keep the same thing from happening again. LaborLessons.com Enjoy listening to Labor Lessons? Leave a review here!

Carly Verdi hosts Labor Lessons, a space created for mothers and expectant parents who are navigating the profound, often unpredictable journey of childbirth. It stems from a shared feeling many women have-that their first birth experience might not have matched their hopes or expectations. This podcast addresses that directly, offering not just practical knowledge for preparation, but also the vital reassurance that you are not walking this path alone. Each episode is built around a tangible, real-life lesson drawn directly from an actual labor and delivery story. You'll hear those stories in detail, the raw and honest moments that textbooks often leave out. The conversations within this podcast foster a genuine sense of connection, building a community where experiences are shared without judgment. It’s about increasing our collective understanding and personal confidence, whether you're preparing for your first delivery or reflecting on a past one. By focusing on these lived experiences, Labor Lessons serves as both an educational resource and a supportive companion, covering topics that resonate within parenting, family life, and self-improvement. Tune in to find clarity, comfort, and practical wisdom for your own birthing journey.
