10. The Importance of Birth Preferences vs Plans with Doula Shawni McCoggle

Today's conversation with birth doula, Shawni McCoggle, is all about the importance of having birth preferences verses birth PLANS. Because we all know that labor and birth is so unpredictable and ultimately our bodies and our babies are going to do what they are going to do! However, at the core of this topic we really believe in the power of education when it comes to what your options are for your birth experience, and how that alone can help you feel more in control. The end of the episode even includes Shawni's birth story. It is a perfect example of how even though it went completely different from her original plan, she still felt so comfortable and thinks positively of her birth experience because of the knowledge and power she had.
