We welcome Laura Chappell to the podcast for this incredibly inspiring deep dive into her two very different birth stories.

Laura is a mum of two girls aged 5 and almost 2. Her first daughters birth was a medicalised hospital birth where she felt completely disempowered and just "a number" in the system. Her second birth was the complete opposite where Laura had a beautiful, peaceful, natural water birth where she felt in her power and supported the entire time.

In this episode, we also discuss:

- The fears Laura was fed leading up to her first birth

- The impact other womens birth stories can have on us, leading up to our own birthing experience

- How the hospital system was disempowering for Laura and how she had to go against her body's instinct

- The euphoria she felt by avoiding a c-section

- How this first birth led to different decision for her second daughters birth

- The importance of setting boundaries with her family and others in her second pregnancy

- The power of manifestation practices that supported Laura's birth outcome

- How she prepared differently for this birth compared to her first

- Her daughters beautiful water birth story

- Advice she has for any mama who desires a natural birth but questions her ability to do so
