Birth Story Podcast

Heidi Snyderburn

Hi! I'm Heidi, experienced Birth Doula and host of the Birth Story podcast brought to you by Birth Story MediaTM. 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.

We will cover Kathryn’s “Founder’s Story” about why she founded Anja Health - after a near-drowning accident, her brother was left with cerebral palsy and umbilical cord blood stem cells could’ve helped save his life. Since they’re mixed race, they were unable to find a match in public banks, which inspired Kathryn to create an affordable private stem cell safe. We will talk about what cord blood banking is, why is it important and we’ll mention a few case studies, that will showcase a few of the 85+ diseases for which cord blood stem cells are approved as a treatment for.

3 Key takeaways from the podcast that listeners will learn today:

  • If you’re pregnant you should definitely consider cord blood cord tissue and placenta banking. Placenta banking is an under utilized part of the birth plan
  • Why Anja Health is different
  • How cord blood, cord tissue, and placenta banking works and how much it costs.

3 Keywords that people would want to search when looking for content that you would provide in this episode:

In Sarah Beauchamp's own words: "My name is Sarah Beauchamp and I have a Bachelor’s degree with a focus on education. I am a mom of three kids (Almost 6, 4, and 1), a birth doula, a birth photographer, and the creator of the book, Birth Happens. I live in Northern Vermont. I am a doula and birth photographer who will give an overview of my own birth stories and then talk about the book I created, Birth Happens: A Collection of Birth Stories. This book has 128 different birth stories from 8 different countries. There is a focus on positive birth stories, but there are also some that are not as happy. There are home births, birth center births, hospital births, and unassisted births. There are breech births and twin births. The stories are meant to provide inspiration and education to anyone who is pregnant or interested in learning more about birth.

I also talk about birth photography and how my goals with the book are my same goals with photography - sharing inspiration and education and helping people realize that birth is really beautiful."

3 Key takeaways from the podcast that listeners will learn today:

  • Birth Happens is available around the globe and is an affordable and accessible way to learn more about birth on your own time
  • Birth is different for every person and every baby. It is mysterious and magical and reading lots of stories and listening to different birth story podcasts is a great way to prepare for birth.
  • Birth doesn’t have to be scary and traumatic. It can be sometimes because it is always unpredictable, but it is also possible to have an empowering and beautiful birth.
