After a difficult first labor with interventions she was unsure about, Alyssa Jennings was determined that her next birth would be on her terms. Little did she know that she\u2019d be having to contain the fetal ejection reflex until her doctor arrived! Alyssa shares with Adriana the magic words her husband used to help her wait (no, they didn\u2019t have anything to do with the doctor), along with a great solution to when you don\u2019t want to labor in the hospital but you want to be close by (even though you live half an hour away). \n\nIf you liked this episode, listen to our short episode titled Straight Talk About the Effects of Electronic Fetal Monitoring on You and Your Baby and our episode on Connecting With Your Baby in Utero. \n \nGet the most out of this episode by checking out the resources, transcript, and links listed on this episode\u2019s show notes page at Birthful.com.
