Part 2 with My Doula + Birth Coach Nicole Lakin-Odusanya!
I get her perspective on everything from birthing centers, waterbirths, placenta capsules + having sexytime while preggers!
Nicole breaks down the design and hormonal process of vaginal birth and lactation, and highlights some of the health benefits of vaginal birth. She shares her tips for getting grounded before birth and surrendering to the transition of active labor. We also get real about what happens if there’s a medical emergency and how to create a backup plan with your midwife.

SHORT QUOTES
Your doula is your labor support, that's going to be your girl who's with you while you're in labor. Your midwife usually doesn't come until you're gonna have a baby. - Nicole
When we leave birth as intended, and as few interventions as possible, that's going to lead to the beautiful natural birth that you want. - Nicole
Being at home, it can be more a flawless journey because you're already in your safest place. - Nicole
We deserve to feel every part of our birth. It's beautiful and might be a little uncomfortable and a little painful for some. But look at all the outcomes that it's actually going to create. - Nicole
