In this episode of the Built to Birth Podcast, Bridget sits down with Annaliese to share her journey through pregnancy, miscarriage, pregnancy after loss, fear of childbirth, and two empowering, positive natural birth experiences.

Before becoming a mom, Annaliese was afraid of pregnancy and birth. After an unexpected pregnancy ended in miscarriage, becoming pregnant again brought both excitement and anxiety. She began intentionally preparing for birth through education, positive birth stories, breathing techniques, and learning how to trust her body.

That preparation ultimately led to an unmedicated birth center birth with her first baby—and an experience that completely changed the way she viewed childbirth.

During her next pregnancy, however, a new fear emerged: an overwhelming anxiety that something would happen to her baby during birth. Annaliese shares how she navigated those fears through prayer, positive affirmations, birth education, and intentionally filling her mind with encouraging birth stories.

Her second labor then unfolded incredibly quickly, leading to a fast water birth at a birth center and an intense first few moments after her baby was born.

Annaliese and Bridget talk honestly about pregnancy anxiety, pregnancy after miscarriage, overcoming fear of birth, natural childbirth, unmedicated labor, water birth, birth center birth, breathing techniques for labor, doulas, midwifery care, partner support, and preparing mentally for childbirth.

If you’re pregnant and feeling scared or overwhelmed by birth, Annaliese’s story is a beautiful reminder of how much can change when fear is met with education, preparation, support, and trust.

In this episode:

  • Overcoming fear of pregnancy and childbirth
  • Pregnancy after miscarriage and navigating anxiety
  • Preparing for a positive birth experience
  • Breathing techniques for labor
  • Annaliese’s first unmedicated birth center birth
  • Giving birth in an upright position

We talk about what it looked like to make decisions when birth didn’t go exactly as planned, how important it was to feel informed and supported along the way, and why having a birth team you truly trust can make such a difference.

We also get into some of the really special moments from her birth—the photos and videos she has to look back on, her baby being born in the amniotic sac, and what her recovery and postpartum experience looked like afterward.

More than anything, this conversation is such a good reminder that preparing for birth isn’t about trying to control exactly how your birth unfolds. It’s about understanding your options, learning to trust your body, surrounding yourself with people you trust, and feeling confident making decisions along the way.

If you’re pregnant and preparing for birth—or you just love hearing real, honest birth stories—I hope this episode leaves you feeling encouraged and empowered.

Even with no epidural during labor, Tea shares how she felt less pain and more empowerment in her natural birth story.

Birth stories are so powerful and help fill your mind with what is true and encouraging. Whether you’re looking for natural birth stories, birth stories about positive inductions, stories about inductions and no epidural, the Built To Birth podcasts have women’s real and true birth stories to empower and build up confidence in your ability to birth your baby.

For a first time mom birth holds a lot of unknowns and hearing a labor and delivery story can help clarify and eliminate fears about childbirth.  In Episode 3 of the Built To Birth Podcast, Kayla shares how listening to positive birth stories inspired and educated her on the kind of birth that she wanted. She also tells us her own natural birth story sharing details about partner support, spending her labor in tub, the experience of having no epidural, needing an episiotomy, and giving birth for the first time during COVID-19.

Whether you are considering your options when it comes to a natural birth vs epidural, natural birth vs c section, home birth vs hospital birth, or whatever options before you, hearing another mama’s birth story can help you decide what is best for you and your baby. If you are considering a natural birth hospital birth, hearing stories of how women navigated their labor is so beneficial in preparing for what to expect. 

This coronavirus birth story is filled with so much wisdom, joy, and hope and is such a positive birth story. This hospital story captures the beauty of how care providers work with women in labor to help them accomplish their goals, and for Kayla, it was to have a beautiful, empowering unmedicated birth story. But before I give much more away, give it a watch or listen to it on either an Apple, Spotify, or Google Podcast platform.
