Like many mothers, Taylor Chamberlain Dilk had no idea where to begin in preparing for childbirth. Lucky for her she has a large social media presence and requested recommendations from her audience, and lucky for us, Down to Birth Show came highly recommended. Once she started digging in, she felt her inner maternal voice rising to the surface. She knew she wanted an unmedicated birth, but had no idea what she was up against giving birth with an OB in the hospital. When she was offered a membrane sweep in her 41st week, she accepted, triggering uncomfortable contractions but not labor. As an unsure first-time mom, she went to the hospital thinking her water had broken yet still awaited labor. It wasn't until she transformed her hospital room into a safe space that she could truly let go and allow her labor to flow. Join us as Taylor shares her invaluable insights, emphasizing the importance of informed decision-making, cultivating a supportive environment, and harnessing the power of one's own thoughts to guide the miraculous journey of childbirth.

That saline lock was so uncomfortable that they left the room and I looked at Steve as like I'm having this baby today I am not leaving. So they're like, we're gonna come back at noon, break your water start you on Pitocin. And I was just like, I don't want that. And being in that mindset of, I'm having this baby right now we drew the blinds, we started moving on the ball, we got the mattress out, we turned on jazz music, we put the lavender around us.
