There is a reason water is known as the midwife’s epidural.

Water changes the entire landscape of your birth.

💖 The feeling of weightlessness allows you to easily switch positions and move with your baby.

💖 The warmth relaxes your muscles and supports oxytocin release.

💖 The water creates a physical boundary that literally shields you from intervention.

💖 Parents report higher satisfaction with water births.

💖 Water gives you the feeling of privacy and agency during birth.

💖 Water birth is associated with fewer interventions and a reduced risk for tearing.

Sometimes, the evidence-practice gap can be seen in your provider's practice.

For example: a provider saying you have to birth on your back.

Or that cervical exams weekly at 36 weeks are required.

But sometimes the evidence-practice gap is a result of profit, liability, and convenience-oriented policies.

And in order for your provider to keep their job, they may have to follow these policies.

So... what is the evidence-practice gap, and why does that matter?

The evidence-practice gap means it can take many years, sometimes decades, for new research and evidence to make its way into policy and practice.

So it's possible, if you were to follow along every policy in a hospital... you may not be getting the best evidence-based care.

But this really depends on which hospital you choose. Some are very evidence-based and some are not.

Ultimately, if you're well educated on your options, and you have tools to be collaborative in your care, you can create a more individualized approach for yourself.

And make your own evidence-based choices in alignment with your preferences and values.

I want to emphasize the difference between using a tool routinely or on a case-by-case basis.

When cervical exams are presented as routine, moms may feel like they don't have the right to decline.

This can create a negative and anxious experience in pregnancy.

If someone pushes themselves through an uncomfortable exam in pregnancy, they may not want to get an exam in labor.

A cervical exam is just a tool... helpful if you're interested in exploring induction options.

Or you want to satisfy your own curiosity.

But other people's curiosity is their problem.

Give me one good reason to illustrate how a term pregnancy would benefit from weekly routine exams.

Seriously, I'd love to know.

Because in my 15 years of experience attending births, I haven't come up with one.

No research paper has ever found that routine cervical exams improve outcomes for mothers or babies.

91% of my students did not tear (step-by-step coming…)

It is not because they were in the right position or used a warm compress.

I did all the right things with my first birth, and I still tore.

You can have all the money in the world. 💸

You can invest in all the best tools, a midwife, and a doula.

But you can still lack the emotional preparation needed to slow down in the presence of pressure.

Reducing your risk for tearing is a four step process.

💖 Understand an approach to pushing that honors physiology and reduces tear risk.

💖 Incorporate evidence based tools like a warm compress, the right position, and provider hands-off

💖 Learn emotional preparation tools to feel safe in the presence of pressure and remember to go slow.

💖 Have the advocacy skills to protect all of those choices.

Everyone says reducing the risk of tearing is about being in the right position or breathing a certain way.

That is not the whole story.

Reducing tears is really about advocacy and emotional preparation.

Imagine a mom is giving birth in a position that increases the likelihood of tearing, like a squat.

She isn’t getting perineal massage or a warm compress

But she has the external environment that supports her in honoring her body.

She has the internal tools to relax into the presence of pressure and allow her baby to deliver slowly.

That mom is so much more likely to avoid tearing than someone who did all the right things but is pushing in a stressful environment.

It is about feeling safe and going slow.

That is not something you learn how to do in your mind.

That is something you learn how to do in your body.

This is why the vast majority of my students do not tear during birth.

Each of them worked with me one on one with a premium birth support package, but they got started in my free birth course, which covers the basics.

You can't give informed consent when someone's finger is in your body.

That's not how informed consent works.

Even if you understand the risks and benefits, informed consent cannot be intact unless you know that you can say no.

I imagine it would be hard to feel the permission to be able to say no with someone's finger inside you.

If you ever get a cervical exam at the end of pregnancy, it might be helpful to clarify:

"I'm consenting to a cervical exam. I'm not consenting to a sweep."

Benefits to membrane sweeps:

✨Hormonal release: Sweeping the membranes naturally stimulates the release of prostaglandins, which help soften and open the cervix.

✨Increased chance of going into labor: It can increase the likelihood of going into labor if needed.

✨Avoidance of medical induction: A successful sweep might help you avoid a formal hospital induction involving other tools that come with more risks.

✨Quick process: It is a fast procedure that can be done during a routine prenatal office visit without hospital admission.

Risks to membrane sweeps:

✨ Pain and discomfort: The procedure can be highly uncomfortable depending on the position of your cervix.

✨ Prodromal labor: It can trigger irregular, painful cramping that exhausts you without actually dilating the cervix or putting you into active labor.

✨ Bleeding: Spotting and light bleeding are very common after the procedure.

✨ Accidental water breaking: There is a risk that the provider could accidentally rupture your amniotic sac. Once your water breaks, a clock starts, increasing the likelihood of further interventions.

✨ Infection risk: Introducing fingers into the cervix always carries a slight risk of introducing bacteria.

My students have outcomes 9x times better than the national average
96% avoided cesarean
91% avoided tearing

That's because they followed my five-step process, refined over the past 15 years of attending births.

Here are five ways to protect your birth and increase your chances of a successful VBAC.

💖 Find a truly supportive provider. There is a massive difference between an obstetrician who tolerates a VBAC and one who actively champions it.

If they casually bring up scheduling a repeat surgery at your very first appointment, find a new doctor.

💖 Wait for spontaneous labor. Medical inductions significantly increase the likelihood of a repeat cesarean.

Your body knows how to go into labor when your baby is ready.

💖 Hire a doula. Continuous labor support is statistically proven to lower cesarean rates.

You need someone in the room whose only job is to protect your space and advocate for your choices.

💖 Process your previous birth. Your body remembers trauma. Entering a new labor while holding onto the fear of your last birth can stall your physical progress.

💖 Keep moving. Upright positions, walking, and side lying open your pelvis and help your baby descend.

So let me get this straight...

A woman consents to major abdominal surgery...

An incision through multiple layers of skin, fat, and muscle...

Increased risk of hemorrhage...
Increased risk of infection...
Higher rates of maternal mortality...
A longer, more painful recovery while caring for a newborn...

And the medical system calls it the safe and responsible choice???

But a woman who plans a VBAC, who wants to honor physiology and let her body to do what it was naturally designed to do...

Backed by data showing a nearly 80 percent success rate...

Is suddenly treated like a liability.

The cognitive dissonance is absolutely insane.

Suddenly everyone's priority is to pressure a cesarean the moment a woman wants to push her baby out vaginally.

But let that same woman schedule a repeat cesarean and people act like she is just booking a haircut.

Interesting how a major operation is viewed as protective when the hospital schedules it for their own convenience but "dangerous" when a woman intentionally steps outside the surgical default on purpose.

People trust a scalpel more than a woman's body because society has been conditioned to fear women making autonomous decisions about birth.

That is the real story here.

They are not scared of a VBAC.

They are threatened by a mother who challenges the surgical default and refuses to trade her bodily autonomy for their policies.

You spend your money on all the best labor tools.

The hypnobirthing subscription, the wireless TENS unit, the birth balls, maybe even a labor swing. 

But are you investing in your internal tools?

External tools are helpful but sometimes… birth takes us to a place where none of those things work anymore.

Without those tools, moms can feel like birth is happening to them.

Every contraction is a wave that sends them underwater…they’re barely able to keep their head up. 🌊

Coping with labor is not about having all the most expensive tools. 

It’s about having the best personalized emotional preparation, nervous system support, exploration of self, and relationships with our fears. 💗

Research has found that up to 80% of women struggle with some kind of fear of birth.

For the first 100 of my students, 100% of them reported feeling confident going into birth, and said they weren’t struggling with fear.

How is this possible?

They followed frameworks I’ve perfected over 15 years to embrace birth with the internal preparation necessary to support a smooth experience.

I’ll lay all the basics out for you so you know how to get started in my free emotional preparation training. ✨

I’m not going to pretend that as an educator, I know what’s best for your family.

I don’t.

I can provide you with options, wisdom, and evidence-based information.

Your provider can offer medical expertise and recommendations.

But there’s something no one on your team has expertise in…

You.

I cannot connect to your intuition.

I do not know your body. Your baby.

But you do.

Individualized care is an approach where your preferences, values, and intuition becomes part of the decision-making process.

We gain knowledge from our educators.

We listen to provider recommendations.

And make choices aligned with love, honoring our intuition.

Everyone deserves this approach to care.

This is what it looks like when your birth partner knows how to protect your space.

Politely communicating with providers to request more time, keeping the lights low and using calm voices are simple things you can do as a birth partner to support a positive birth.

Every model of care is different.

The obstetric model has an emphasis on intervention.

That means that if dilation isn't happening as quickly as they want it to, if contraction patterns stall a bit, the initial response is likely to intervene.

Sometimes intervening with medical tools is the right choice.

Other times, a little bit of patience, position changes, and rest is all that is needed to support labor.
