About this episode
Join me, as I talk with one of my Calm Labor Confident Birth Class students, Laura.
Laura's birth story is definitely best friend squad goals! Laura's bestie (who's studying to become a birth doula) was with her during it all - to cheer her on, and to help her through the intense moments.

In this episode, she shares her journey to a positive, unmedicated vaginal delivery of a healthy baby boy!
She tells us all about laboring at home and delivering in a birth center. She also shared how our birth course helped her have an empowered birth experience.
Laura gets real with us and shares the nitty-gritty details of what a water birth includes. You won't hear this anywhere else.
Plot twist: her best friend/Doula was the one who actually told her about Labor Nurse Mama and encouraged her to join one of the meet-and-greets we have.
