What happens if I poop during labor *shudder*? And oh yeah, how do I take care of a newborn? I know you’ve got a ton of questions and fears when it comes to giving birth. How?

<p> Today we're getting real about C-sections, not as a worst case scenario, but as a valid, powerful, and yes—a beautiful way to bring your baby into the world.</p><p>Trish is sitting down with two incredible women. Jen Wagner, a trained OB anesthesiologist and Bethany, a doula turned nurse and three times C-section Mama. Together they host this C-section Experience podcast. </p><p>These women are flipping the narrative on surgical birth, and this conversation is honest, emotional, and packed with tips that every pregnant woman should hear, not just those planning a cesarean, because birth isn't about a plan. It's about your power, and you are the queen of your story no matter how your baby arrives. </p><p><strong>Connect with Jen & Bethany:</strong></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/76pKOEYagCjHwzx7KyytCd?si=3c3c3f2332bd4a5f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to The C-Section Experience Podcast</a></p><p>Follow them on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thecsxpodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@thecsxpodcast</a> </p><p><strong>Join the Calm Mama Membership: </strong><a href="https://labornursemama.com/cms" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong> labornursemama.com/cms</strong></a></p><p><strong>Leave a review and include your Instagram username for a chance to win our monthly raffle!</strong></p><p>00:00 Introduction to C-Section Experiences</p><p>01:17 Meet Jen and Bethany</p><p>03:49 Changing the Narrative Around C-Sections</p><p>20:35 The Importance of Advocating for Yourself</p><p>23:39 Challenging Medical Norms</p><p>26:17 Creating a Positive C-Section Experience</p><p>26:53 Medication and Anxiety Management</p><p>28:10 Capturing the Birth Moment</p><p>33:11 Normalizing C-Section Births</p><p><strong>Resources: </strong></p><p><a href="https://labornursemama.com/one-secret" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">First Trimester Secret Podcast</a></p><p>🎙<strong> FREE Birth Workshop: 3 Secrets to a Confident Birth! </strong>🎙</p><p>Want to feel prepared and in control? <a href="https://learn.labornursemama.com/3-secrets" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Watch my free workshop now!</a></p><p><strong>Connect w/ Trish:</strong> </p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/labor.nurse.mama/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">On Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/labor.nurse.mama" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">On Facebook</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@LaborNurseMama" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">On YouTube</a></p><p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/LaborNursemama/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">On Pinterest </a></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@labor.nurse.mama" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">On TikTok</a></p><p>For more pregnancy & birth education, subscribe to The Birth Experience on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.</p><p><a href="https://vadenpodcastservices.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Produced and Edited by Vaden Podcast Services</strong></a></p><h2>Next Steps with LNM:</h2><p>If you are ready to invest in your pregnancy & postpartum journey, you are in the right place.
