PUSHING IT

That's right, we said it. The "P" word. Birth's little 4 letter word. We are calling it like we see it this week and discussing the realities of pain in labor.

Show Notes

We all have that friend who has a cousin who had a pain-free birth and the baby just "fell out". But is that how it really works? Why does it have to hurt? Jen and Alise have the answers this week. They are discussing the variations in pain and your options for managing pain. They are talking about how labor pain is different from any other pain that you have ever experienced. This means that you get to learn new ways to get through it and what you thought you knew about your pain tolerance might not be true. 

Alise invites you to story time to hear about Peaches and her pain-free birth in the supermarket. Find out why Peaches wishes she felt her contractions and how it made buying produce very challenging for all around.

What is PUSHING IT?

Pushing It Podcast is here to help you bring your "F" word (AKA flexibility) to birth, find courage, and gain a sense of humor. Jen and Alise get honest and real about pregnancy, birth, and life with a baby. Finally, a podcast for everyone else having a baby that wants the down and dirty truth from Professionals who believe there is no "right" way to birth or parent. Jen and Alise have your back because if you can't laugh without peeing yourself, you might as well laugh at yourself while doing it. Birth is never boring, learning about shouldn't be either.
