15. Finding the Confidence for a Natural Birth

Confidence in birth doesn't come easy to all of us, but there are specific ways to build it during your birth preparations and I'm going to tell you how in today's episode. 

In this episode, I will bring you inside information from 3 sources for a well-rounded perspective:

1. A research study that asked the question of what made women feel positive about their birth experience - and may not be what you think.
2. Two stories of my students using their confidence to communicate during situations that could have been very stressful.
3. Insights from my experience as a childbirth educator, ok that one is probably not a surprise! 

If you would like to read the research study I reference in this episode, you can find it here: Lena Nilsson, Tina Thorsell, Elisabeth Hertfelt Wahn, and Anette Ekström, “Factors Influencing Positive Birth Experiences of First-Time Mothers,” Nursing Research and Practice, vol. 2013, Article ID 349124, 6 pages, 2013. https://doi.org/10.1155/2013/349124.
