347: HOME BIRTH STORY: 8-Hour Labor with Shoulder Dystocia and Fetal Distress Resulting in a Successful Birth with Miranda Cottrell - a podcast by Independent Podcast Network | Sarah and Matthew Bivens

How do we deal with “expectations vs. reality” when it comes to birth?
This is a great theme and pattern that shows up in today’s interview, and one that many of us can relate to. You think something will go one way OR you don’t think something will pop up and then what happens….you can guess!Miranda Cottrell, chiropractor and home birth mama shares her story. She always knew she wanted a home birth, planned and prepared accordingly. 
One of the nuggets of wisdom from this conversation is that no amount of preparation can really, well...PREPARE you for the experiential aspect of going through birth. So there’s a balance between the education and studying and then the preparation of your mind and emotions. Things we talk about in this episode: Braxton-Hicks, The Bradley Method, preparing your birth partner, birth tub ambivalence, denial of transition, shoulder dystocia, Hypnobabies
