Birth Prep in the Gen Pop

You wouldn’t run a marathon without training, would you? Well, the same should be said about giving birth. Imagine learning different stretches to help during labor, effective positions to birth in, and how to breathe during contractions. If you could learn how to greatly minimize your risk of tearing, would you? So much of modern maternal medicine teaches pregnant moms what to do with the baby…but is lacking when it comes to preventing or reducing common postpartum issues for the mom. In this week’s episode motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey and women’s health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch , are talking all about modern day birth prep, what is lacking, and what is available for YOU to advocate for yourself during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.
