The NaturalBirth Talk
Many women desire to reconnect with their body and natural instincts through the entire perinatal period, including natural birth. Unfortunately, the American culture (and most mainstream cultures) do not teach young women about any natural ways to care for their bodies and, in fact, teach that the body and childbirth cannot be trusted. In this podcast by Rachel Mans, Doula and The NaturalBirth Site, co-hosted by Tiffany Muniz, we explore all aspects of natural, physiological birth, as well as natural pregnancy and early postpartum. Our topics are inspired by a range of evidence, the wisdom of our ancestors, and traditional cultures. Many topics will help you to trust your body, your baby, and all of the wise women who birthed before you. We will talk with midwives, doulas, chiropractors, health professionals, and anyone else involved in birth work. The goal is to help you become educated and trust the birthing process so you can have the most empowering, educated, and beautiful pregnancy, birth, & postpartum possible!

Tips for Having a Hospital Induction WITHOUT Pain Meds with Ammie Harris
It is much harder to have a natural birth in a hospital setting, especially if you are induced. Ammie Harris shares the different techniques that helped make her 3-day hospital induction a success. Some tips include:
- Relying on God-given/motherly instincts
- Natural birth education
- Hiring a doula
- Being confident & kind while standing your ground
- Practicing potential scenarios ahead of time
- And much more!
She also compares that birth to her next birth, a home birth (watch the video). We included this because it really shows how much easier natural birth generally is outside of the hospital!
