Episode 9 - Identifying and Understanding Birth Perceptions

About the episode:

Have you ever considered your own personal perceptions surrounding birth? Are they positive or negative? Are they informed by dramatized movies and TV shows? Are they informed by fear based stories you’ve heard from family and friends?

How we have learned about birth growing up and as adults matters and it influences how we begin the journey into pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond.

In this episode, doula Rachael shares her personal story about what her birth perceptions were before babies and how they were shaped by her family and friends and where they are now after two children and 7 years of being a doula and childbirth educator.

This episode helps to shed light on the importance of identifying and understanding birth perceptions and how you can take steps now to ensure you have the information, support, and confidence you need to walk into your birth with a sense of ease, trust, and empowerment.

Every birth unfolds uniquely. There is not an exact formula for how to have a perfect birth.  And a “perfect” birth looks differently for each individual person. The goal of this episode is to share knowledge that is rooted in evidence based information combined with professional and personal experience so that you have the best chance at having the best birth available to you!
