Let's get ready to rumble!!! Today Sarah is joined by Nina Spears AKA the Baby Chick to talk all things getting ready for birth! Nina is a birth and postpartum doula, a childbirth educator, and someone who has basically seen it ALL when it comes to pregnancy, birth, and those early days of motherhood. She has supported more than 800 families in person and guided thousands more virtually through birth prep courses and coaching which led to her new book, The Baby Chick Guide to Positive Pregnancy!

In this episode we discuss her biggest tips for birth prep, what hospital birth classes often leave out, & how partners can actually be helpful during labor. We also chat C-sections and unexpected birth experiences AND what we should all be doing to better prepare for postpartum.
