NATURAL BIRTH RESOURCES

As you know, when I get into something, I go ALL IN. My enneagram is 3 (achiever) if that helps you understand me better, haha. Birth research was no different. Here are some of my favorite resources if you’re looking into having a natural, unmedicated birth!

Books

  • Spiritual Midwifery by Ina May Gaskin
  • Guide to Childbirth by Ina May Gaskin
  • Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering: The Wisdom and Science of Gentle Choices in Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting by Dr Sarah J Buckley

Courses

Documentaries

  • The business of being born on Netflix

Wellness

Products

  • Birth ballthis is the one I have. I bounced on it my entire pregnancy and early labor. Olive loves bouncing on it to this day
  • Supportive flip flopsI loved these. My feet swelled and bending over to tie shoes toward the end was a no go. I needed slip-on shoes that were also comfy!
  • Labor gown – I don’t know about you, but I hate hospital gowns. They’re ugly and too big but also too tight around the neck all at the same time. Wearing your own clothes during labor is super nice. I used this gown from Pretty Pushers and it was perfect! Open in the front and low in the back giving access to everything the medical staff could need. I chose black in case blood or other fluids would get on it and stain.
  • Birth Affirmation CardsI loved these!
  • Comfort Items for the Labor Room – I had string lights, tea lights, essential oils that I liked the smell of, lip balm etc
  • Birth PlaylistHere’s mine but everyone’s taste is different. Some people want energetic music. I wanted chill, easy listening and songs that had sentimental meaning to me and my husband
