[Birth Stories] How Her Goals of No Epidural and No Whining Helped Her Befriend the Labor Pain, with Celeste and Claudiu Bancos

Published: April 13, 2024, 4 a.m.

Celeste and Claudiu Bancos share their perspectives of their son\u2019s birth (who chimes in too!), often surprising each other with moments the other didn\u2019t remember or knew about. Ultimately, Celeste achieved her birth goals of not whining and avoiding getting an epidural, with the help of a veterinarian\u2019s memoir book from the 30s, strong vocalizations, a crisis of confidence, realizing how well her hormones were working, and the live narration by Claudiu of her baby\u2019s beautiful emergence into the world.\n\nIf you liked this episode, listen to our interview on Protecting Your Perineum and our episode on Vaginal Rehab.
