OOPS! 3 Lessons I Wished I Learned About Birth

EP 16:
After giving birth and coaching lots of pregnant women through their birth preparation, here’s what I learned.

To call giving birth for the first time a whirlwind would be an understatement. 

My water broke at 5pm on Friday but my son wasn't born until 8:03pm on Saturday (yes, you read that right!).

It was both rewarding and exhausting…and I won’t lie, I had to "lock in" with my focus a few times throughout labor to keep my eyes on the prize - because although the contractions were heavy hitting – hearing my baby's first cry was literally a dream come true for me.

Now if you’ve been with me for a while, you probably know that there's a lot to learn about the entire experience of birth preparation, childbirth and breastfeeding.  

In true Stephanie Poole fashion, I wasn't prepared as much as I could have been, simply because it was my first pregnancy, and I didn't know - what I didn't know!

I’m happy to report that my sweet baby was born happy and healthy – but of course, there were some things I learned along the way (and in retrospect) that I wanted to share with you. 

In this episode, you’ll hear the 3 biggest lessons I learned, which I can guarantee will be helpful at some point during your birth journey. And what’s great is you can also apply the lessons to future births too.  

So, pop in your earpods, cozy on up and tune in!

Happy Birthing!!!

As always, thank you so much for tuning in to this episode.
