A Doula (and Mother of 5) Offers Miscarriage Support and Much More: Aliza’s Story, Part II

This is a show that shares true experiences of getting pregnant being pregnant and giving birth to help shift the common cultural narrative away from the glossy depictions of this enormous transition you can find on social media, and other media more broadly, to a more realistic one.  It also celebrates the incredible resilience and strength it takes to create another person and deliver them into the world. I’m your host, Paulette Kamenecka. I’m a writer and an economist and the mother of two girls.

In this episode Aliza shares ways to manage contractions...she also talks about some important strategies to help you get a birth closer to the one you want; everyone who has been through birth knows that it's really the baby who is driving the process, but there are things you can do to potentially impact your experience, and Aliza talks about some of them here, as well as other doula secrets.
