Bianca Sprague: Guardian of the Birth Experience
The Birth Journeys Podcast®️: Lifting the veil on the birth experience
02/19/24 • 98 min
When Bianca Sprague, the trailblazing founder of Bebo MIA, shifted her career aspirations from OB-GYN to becoming a doula, the landscape of birth and parenthood began to change. In our heartfelt discussion, Bianca shares the pivotal moments that steered her towards doula work, including her mother's home birth and her own challenging entry into motherhood. Her story is a testament to the power of empathy and the profound need for supportive birthing practices that honor the individual experiences of parents. As we explore Bianca's journey, she illuminates the stark contrast between the impersonal hospital births she expected and the deeply nurturing doula-led experiences she now champions.
The complexities of parenting and the evolution of gender roles within it were another rich vein we mined during our conversation. Bianca's intimate reflections on blending professional pursuits with the demands of raising children shed light on the delicate act of balancing these worlds. She advocates for self-care and sleep as non-negotiable pillars of well-being, not indulgences, and shares how her own evolution as a doula trainer and mentor is informed by her commitment to continuous learning and adapting within healthcare.
Our episode takes an expansive look at childbirth, from respecting every parent's unique birth plan to the importance of patient-centered care in medical settings. Bianca's insights into the often overly clinical approach to labor in hospitals are especially enlightening, stressing the need for healthcare providers to step back and support rather than control the birthing process. Through her experiences and those of the families she supports, she encourages a reevaluation of the concept of pain in childbirth and the empowerment of birthing individuals to have more agency in their experiences. Join us as we unravel these topics with Bianca Sprague, whose wisdom and passion for improving birth experiences are truly transformative.

Ever wonder how drastically different two births can be? Imagine one which is calm and another being a chaotic rush - that's the compelling narrative of our guest Lindsay Bermudez, co-founder of Babycito.

Sharing our personal struggles, we bring up the topic of breastfeeding, including challenges faced with milk protein intolerance and the quest to find the perfect formula.

To wrap up our conversation, we delve into Babycito and the critical role it plays in bridging the gap between families and crucial services like doulas and lactation consultants. One thing is clear - the need for support extends beyond childbirth and evolves as the child grows. Tune in to learn how Babycito aims to support families and connect them with the resources they need throughout this incredible journey called parenthood.
