Birth with Liv
In this episode I talk all things birth with Kristin Revere, CEO of Gold Coast Doulas and co-host of the Ask the Doulas podcast. We delve into the importance of preparing for childbirth and the postpartum period with the same excitement and consideration as other life events like weddings. Kristin shares insights from her book 'Supported: Your Guide to Birth and Baby', emphasizing the value of knowing what’s important to you and using that knowledge to guide selecting your dream team.
We both share personal experiences with preeclampsia and NICU stays, and discuss the unpredictable nature of birth and the necessity of informed decision-making and flexible planning in preparing for motherhood.
By sharing her personal story and professional insights, Kristin illustrates the critical role of evidence-based education and support networks. Their conversation is an enlightening guide for expecting parents, emphasizing compassion, readiness, and adaptability in navigating the birth and early parenting journey.
