Andrea’s Natural Birth Story: When Baby Has Their Own Plan

I love when 2nd timer parents return to share yet another birth story! Andrea and Juan are back to share their little girls’ debut into the world and you get to hear the actual 911 call of her arrival!

Andrea talks about staying grounded through pregnancy with simple routines like rereading, writing affirmations on the mirror (“your body knows what to do,” “your baby knows how to be born”), and focusing on the outcome they wanted while setting fears aside. Andrea also shares how she’d talk to the baby for signs and felt reassured when the baby would move whenever fear came up. Juan believed that the first birth prepped him for whatever this birth had to offer – and he got to put that to the test.

The episode reaffirms that your body knows what to do and so does your baby. We still birth with less fear when we go into it educated and well practiced as Andrea and Juan show us in this show. Thank you for coming on again!
