Ep 93 Description: “If you feel good in your body, your baby's gonna feel good in your body.” —Rachel Yellin While birth is a natural and beautiful process, it also involves significant pain for many women. As the baby moves through the birth canal during labor and delivery, the cervix must dilate fully and the perineum may stretch considerably. For some, these physical changes can cause intense discomfort, pressure, and even sharp pains. However, with the right techniques and strategies, women can feel more in control and confident during this challenging but rewarding part of becoming a mother. In this episode, Birth Expert, Rachel Yellin, reveals her top techniques for having more "WOW" and less "OW" in labor. Rachel has helped thousands of women have satisfying and empowering birth experiences. Through her classes, programs, and private sessions, she empowers women to reconnect with their bodies, trust their instincts, and feel confident about birth. Listen in as Debra and Rachel share techniques for down-regulating the nervous system to align with instinctual birth, practices to help activate the parasympathetic nervous system for gentle and easy birthing, plus helpful tools and resources to feel fully supported and in control of your body during the birthing process.
