A Positive Unmedicated Hospital Birth Experience (Three Times!) with Kelsey

A Positive Unmedicated Hospital Birth Experience (Three Times!) with Kelsey

In this episode of Her Birth, Her Story, I sit down with the creator of Scrunchy Suburban Mama, a self-described “scrunchy” mom who shares her experience of having three unmedicated hospital births—all of them incredibly positive. We dive into what it looked like to prepare for physiologic birth in the hospital, why she believes your birth setting matters less than having the right support team, and how informed consent empowered her to make confident decisions every step of the way. We also chat about balancing a holistic lifestyle with evidence-based care, advocating for yourself, and why every mom deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported in her birth experience. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, exploring your options, or simply want to hear an encouraging birth story, this conversation is a reminder that there isn’t one “right” way to give birth—only the way that’s right for you. Tune in for an empowering conversation about advocacy, informed choices, and building the birth team that helps you thrive. Great resources for moms to educate yourself and truly have informed consent- mentioned in the podcast! Evidence Based Birth [https://evidencebasedbirth.com/] Want to connect with Kelsey?

The Birth Breakdown: Morning Sickness? More Like ALL Day Sickness

Morning sickness isn’t just something you have to “push through.” In this episode of The Birth Breakdown, we’re diving into why nausea and vomiting happen during pregnancy, what’s actually going on in your body, and both holistic and medical ways to help find relief. From simple nutrition tips and natural remedies to knowing when it’s time to seek extra support, my hope is that you’ll walk away feeling informed, encouraged, and empowered as you navigate the first trimester. Not medical advice, just encouragement to do your own research and have TRUE informed consent 🙂 Weekly interview episodes released every Tuesday at 8:00am EST Weekly minisodes released every Thursday at 12:00pm EST Want to empower other women through YOUR story?

The Birth Breakdown: DHA- Why It Is Important?

You’ve probably heard that omega-3s are important during pregnancy—but what exactly is DHA, and why do so many prenatal experts recommend it specifically? In this Birth Breakdown minisode, we’re breaking down the difference between omega-3 fatty acids and DHA, why DHA plays a critical role in your baby’s brain and eye development, how much you should aim for during pregnancy, and what to look for when choosing a supplement. If you’ve ever stood in the vitamin aisle wondering if your prenatal or fish oil is enough, this episode is for you. Because informed moms make empowered decisions.
