In this episode, I’m breaking down how to physically prepare your body for labor and birth. We spend so much time getting ready for the baby, but birth is a huge physical event, and there are things you can do to help your body feel more prepared for the demands of labor, whatever your birth experience ends up looking like.

I talk about maintaining strength and endurance, building hip mobility in the final weeks of pregnancy, practicing 360 breathing and pelvic floor relaxation, and trying different labor positions before you’re in the moment. I also cover perineal massage, how to involve your partner or doula in your birth prep, and why preparation can help you feel more confident without guaranteeing a particular outcome.
