Take the stool softener before surgery!
Heating pad and recliner or mountain of pillows on the bed for referred shoulder pain
Rest when your body needs it

7. Creating a Mental Push Plan with Lauren & Carolyn

The Resource Doula

03/19/22 • 64 min

Just a note on this episode of the podcast, we had some technical difficulties and ended up with a lower quality audio track but a high quality conversation. Thanks for listening as I learn how to do this well!

Show Notes

Chatting with Lauren and Carolyn was eye opening and I am so glad that we connected on Instagram. Their programs (Mental Push Plan & Mental Grief Plan) are instrumental and I feel even more powerful than your typical “birth plan” in terms of having tool for overcoming obstacles you may meet during birth. It just makes sense to use principles from sports psychology and yoga to prepare for birth, right? Have a listen. I think you’ll enjoy it.

My top takeaway from this episode is that we all have mental fortitude, we just need a little bit of guidance for how to best access it and use it to its full potential.

Laura’s Website for doula & new parent educator training

Laura’s #1 Tip:

“For clients, for families that are pregnant or having babies, my one piece of advice is dig deep and listen to your intuition, trust yourself, and then also really trust your baby. It's a relationship that's going to last, forever. So start that relationship really, really young where you have this relationship of trust between the two of you. And it pays often and is pretty cool when you can have older kids that still trust you. So start at a young age.”

“For professionals, I would just say be yourself as an educator or a doula and don't be afraid to really jump in there and do it. If you have a passion for it, jump in and do it, but then do it as yourself. A lot of times when I train people, a lot of times people become a doula because they had a doula, and they love their doula, but then they kind of try to be their doula. Follow your passions and be yourself as a doula or an educator because people are going to be attracted to you for you. But if you're trying to put on somebody else, you're gonna struggle with that because you're not going to be as natural with people are going to pick up on that.”

Show Notes

On today's podcast. I chat with Dr. Sinead Dufour about her work surrounding pregnancy related, pelvic girdle pain. And if that sounds complex, don't worry. All it means is pain in your pelvis during pregnancy or into the first year postpartum. We talk about the myth that relaxin is the cause of all of these pains in your pelvis and how we can better approach pain in general during pregnancy. So whether you're a clinician or currently pregnant and wanting to improve your pain. I know, you'll find this episode intriguing

Sinéad’s #1 Tip:

“I want people to know that pregnancy related kind of aches and pains is very different than pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain. So it's important that people kind of understand that outta the gate. So that way if you self-identify yourself in this now umbrella of pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain, now where this, in this nociplastic pain, you can immediately understand you need to go to someone to get some guidance and some help. Ideally, someone who has some understanding and pain science. It doesn't even matter if they don't even live in your same country because most of this care can be delivered really well virtually. Sometimes you'll only need one or two consultations with a skilled person to be able to kind of figure things out and get on track.”
