Heather Lauf was so clear on the importance of choosing the right care provider for her birth that she switched practices, twice! Even with her ample preparation, labor still threw her for a loop when she found out her water hadn\u2019t broken ( it really seemed it had!), and then again when she couldn\u2019t quiet her thinking brain after realizing she had too many eyes watching her. Nevertheless, Heather was able to have the unmedicated vaginal birth she was hoping for with the help of her trusted team.\n\nIf you liked this episode, listen to our interview on Baby\u2019s Position and Labor Flow, and our episode on The Holistic Stages of Birth\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.
