Empowering Mother's to Have Their Ideal Birth

Birth is a beautiful, challenging experience. It's the moment where Heaven and Earth collide, the Veil is torn, and a new life is born. Through this process a woman becomes a mother, and a man a father. If you've been present at a birth, it is a divine and holy moment rivaled by few other experiences in life.

At First Choice PRC we understand how important birth outcomes are in light of postpartum healing, family bonding, and quite honestly, generational legacy. A woman who thoughtfully cares for her body throughout pregnancy, feels emotionally, physically, and spirtually secure, and puts in the time and effort to understand how to move with her baby and body through labor is setting themselves up for successful birth outcomes. On the flip side, a woman who is stressed, undernourished, and uneducated, may find themselves struggling in labor and experiencing a cascade of interventions that lead to a traumatic birth. Our goal is to come along side a woman and her partner to help them feel supported, secure, educated and empowered.

One of the ways we do this is by offering a labor and delivery series during thier prental education at First Choice PRC. A couple of years back, Nurse Manager Charlene and prior labor and delivery nurse Claudia began group sessions with moms and their partners who are expecting during similar time frames. This allowed for moms and partners to meet other expecting parents, talk about their birth plans, and build support with one another. The group setting is intimate, but allows for conversations that may not have taken place one-on-one.

Last week I had the awesome opportunity to partner with Charlene during their discussion on natural pain relief. As a mom with four unmedicated births under her belt and a natural minded doula, this slice of labor and delivery is my jam! We discussed mobility, movement, breathing, and perspective shifting. We deep dove into God's design of the pelvis and the simple tools we have at our disposal to provide ample space for baby to move and shift in the late stages of pregnancy and throughout labor and delivery. Together, Charlene and I helped to bring what's becoming lost wisdom back into the divine art of birth.

Our hope in providing classes like these are to break generational curses, and reinfuse joy, security, and healthy bonding back in to pregnancy, labor and delivery. We want to see women and men who are empowered and thrive during birth, walking the trial fearlessly and with great expectation. This allows for a healthier postpartum, better ability to bond as a new family, and better stories to tell our own children about birth.

These classes and more are available for free for clients who are looking for tools to become better educated and empowered during their pregnancy journey. Call 715-345-0280 today to set up an appointment to learn more!
