This is a journey to birth podcast -  coaching session. I'm Tristin the creator of the natural birth compass online childbirth education program, and on this series, you will hear me help Starr, one of our natural birth compass program student, preparing for her second birth after unexpected events required some changes in her first birth. 

A couple of notes before we jump in - this is my fifth and final coaching call with Starre before she has her baby. In this call, Starre is about 4 weeks from her due date and she reveals some interesting updates in this episode! 

It might be relevant to note that this episode was recorded in early April of 2020, so we were just in the initial stages of sheltering in during the COVID-19 pandemic, so you'll notice some of the conversations we have are in regard to how this has altered some aspects of her prenatal care and birth preparation.

At the time this episode airs in early June, Starre has already had her baby, but we have not yet had our final postpartum call to hear her birth story, but we are planning to get together soon to discuss her birth and record her birth story, so I hope you are as excited to hear about the updates as I am and to celebrate the newest member of her family and Starre's transformation from a mother of one, to a mother of two.

If you missed our previous coaching calls, I strongly recommend you go back and listen from coaching call #1 before listening to this episode so you can hear all the amazing work Starre has done to get ready for this birth, including transforming her feeling of this second birth from dread to excitement. That's exactly why I do this work and the kind of transformation that I believe every mom deserves. Now, if you're ready, I hope you enjoy sitting in on this call as we help Starr on her journey to birth.
