We're sharing our most downloaded episode in 2023! 🎉 Most births are not like the movies. They don’t typically start with a massive gush of water followed by insanely intense contractions that have mom rushing to the hospital. 🚑 That’s not to say a birth can’t start with your waters breaking and even immediate contractions, but most often, you’re going to have some time to ease into labor.  With that in mind, I’m going to walk you through what you can expect with those first contractions, what you can do to help manage them as they increase in intensity and consistency, and how you can easily keep track if you want to. 📝 Links Mentioned: My Essential Birth Course My Essential Birth Instagram Contraction Timer & Counter 9m Contraction Timer - Time Labor Full Term - Contraction Timer GET IN TOUCH! 🤩 Reach out at any time to [email protected].
