Alyson’s Birth Recollection
Season 1 Episode 4
We go all the way "down there" in today's episode as motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey and Dr. Marcy Crouch talk about the birth of Alyson's daughter. Alyson shares her experience with using Spinning Babies along with having an epidural. Did you know about "the shakes" that often happen immediately after birth? Alyson shares her experience while Dr. Marcy also discusses how epidurals can affect the laboring process.
It is a human condition to compare yourself to others. Your experience with pregnancy and birth is going to be completely different from every other birthing person’s experience. We are not here to add to any fears you may be facing when it comes to pregnancy or birth. We are here to prepare you for what could happen, and in this episode we will present the facts from a pelvic floor and mental health standpoint.
