It\\u2019s not very often we get to speak to someone who plans for an induction. But when Rachel\\u2019s husband only had TWO DAYS of parental leave and was assigned an out-of-town position, induction was the perfect solution!

What she wanted was an unmedicated birth preferably without Pitocin and incredibly that\\u2019s what she got! However, it wasn\\u2019t by accident. Rachel refers to herself as \\u201ctype A\\u201d and she was very, very prepared (including taking The Birth Preparation Course!). All of her planning paid off because she was able to give birth with her husband at her side and they\\u2019ve even gone on to have a second baby since. You\\u2019re going to love this story!

In this Episode, You\\u2019ll Learn About:

• What a preconception consultation is and how it helped Rachel
• Why she thinks we should abandon the term \\u201cmorning sickness\\u201d
• How she struggled with self-blaming thoughts after an accidental fall at 7 months
• What made the birth plan class so much more valuable to her than a generic birth wish sheet
• Why she wanted an unmedicated birth
• How she knew it was time to push
• What makes her feel like postpartum parents are being underserved
