Finding Your Voice: The Power of Self-Advocacy in Birth and Beyond
In this solo episode Cindy delves into the importance of finding your voice, particularly when preparing for childbirth. She emphasizes how self-advocacy during labor and delivery is crucial to ensure a woman's needs are met and that her birthing experience aligns with her expectations
- Many women struggle to prioritize their comfort during birth, which can lead to feeling sidelined or not adequately cared for.
- Encouragement for expecting mothers to practice vocalizing their needs before going into labor as it greatly impacts the birthing process.
- How being unable to express oneself can trigger a fight-or-flight response, potentially hindering the progress of labor.
- The necessity of communicating with someone who will advocate on your behalf during birth if you're unable to do so yourself.
- Suggestions include exploring boundaries within intimate relationships or engaging in creative expression like singing or dancing.
- Discusses how sex and orgasm may lead to more efficient labor due to similar hormonal patterns involved in both processes.
- Insights on how low-pitched sounds can promote relaxation and dilation versus high-pitched sounds that might cause constriction.
Cindy shares personal experiences from her own labor journey, highlighting strategies she found effective such as making low-toned sounds during contractions. She also touches upon incorporating hypnobirthing techniques for managing intensity through relaxation rather than contraction.
