In this episode of the Nourishing Birth and Beyond podcast, I address three common mistakes in birth preparation: relying solely on a birth plan, fearing pain management, and not proactively learning about caesarean sections.

I also highlight the significance of creating a supportive birth environment and encourage listeners to take an active role in their birth journey. Additionally, I invite listeners to a free workshop on water birth essentials to further empower them in making informed decisions about their birthing experience.
