Episode 34: Tips and Tricks to Having an Unmedicated Birth

Form, Function and Flow Lab with Dr. Kate

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about the tips and tricks to having an unmedicated birth. I decided to talk about this after receiving a question on Facebook regarding any advice I can give for women who want to undergo unmedicated birth.

I am all for natural delivery and I did not undergo any pain relief medications during the delivery of both my children. I know that not all deliveries are the same but I want to share from my experience.

In this episode we discuss:

• [0:36] Introduction to the topic
• [3:24] The first tip: Start preparing right after getting pregnant
• [9:16] The second tip: Birth classes
• [14:10] The third tip: Getting adjusted
• [16:07] The fourth tip: Walking
• [16:51] The fifth tip: A little checklist to keep in mind
• [17:31] The sixth tip: Avoid going to the hospital, or if you cannot, avoid going in too early
• [25:37] The seventh tip: Picking the birth team who will support you
• [27:10] The eighth tip: Do not push too soon
• [29:26] Conclusion

If you have any questions, you can drop it in the comment section or you send me a message through Facebook or Instagram. I’d be happy to do another podcast about your questions. Also, if you want me to talk about something specific, let me know!
