Birth Story Podcast

Hi! I’m Heidi, experienced Birth Doula and host of the Birth Story podcast brought to you by Birth Story Media™. I support moms through their fertility and pregnancy journeys and help have trauma free birth stories and labor stories. When moms embrace their pregnant bellies and their pregnancy and await the arrival of their baby or babies they are going to feel many emotions and have many visions about what will happen during child birth. “Is this normal?” “What does a contraction feel like?” “What does the day of labor look like?” “What is a Doula?” I want every mom’s birth story to be peaceful, happy and a memory that they will love to share. Birth Story podcast is my way to provide childbirth education through story telling in the comfort of your home and to prepare a mom for motherhood with any birth story that unfolds for their pregnancy, labor and delivery. If a pregnant mom uses an OBGYN, a midwife, a doula, a birth doula, or has a home birth, water birth, natural birth, C-section, cesarean birth, hospital birth, medicated birth, epidural birth, pitocin birth, an induction or induced labor, are having multiple babies or a single baby, a birth plan or no birth plan; I started this podcast to help moms learn and prepare for their labor and delivery and birth though birth story telling.

145 Birth at 20, 30, and 40, Orgasmic Birth, Infant Loss, and Unconventional Relationships with Sarah Martin Jul 21, 2022

Show notes

Sarah Martin brings all the WOW in this episode. Trigger Warning: Infant loss at 18 weeks.

Sarah talks about being a young mom in her 20s and 30s and just doing whatever the doctors told her to do which led to epidurals and losing her power.

At 40, in a new marriage and healing from loss, she explores having a doula, and orgasmic birth, and gets into her power and into all the woooooo.

This is by far one of my favorite episodes that I have ever recorded....and I was her doula!

Enjoy.

143 MamasteFit's Gina Conley on miscarriage, military hospital birthing, homebirth, being a doula and a mega social media influencer Jun 16, 2022

Show notes

Heidi sits down with Gina Conley from MamasteFit on her current pregnancy, her miscarriages, her births, and her IG platform.

On her first, she was delivering at a military hospital and her sister, Roxanne, was a labor and delivery nurse who was planning to help her. She talks about how that birth went sideways and how it informed and shaped the rest of pregnancies and births and how she decided to create content to serve others!

She also really digs into switching to midwifery care and homebirth in the middle of COVID and how different that was from birthing in a military hospital.

Gina shares about how MamasteFit came to be on Instagram, her online courses, community and building a business.

"At MamasteFit, we exclusively train athletes throughout their pregnancies, postpartum, and beyond! We have spent the past 4+ years training and developing programming for in-person clients. We have clients that start training with us at various points throughout their motherhood journey, some starting several years postpartum but wanting to feel strong again!"

I love following this sister duo on Instagram at instagram.com/mamastefit
