Preparing for birth can be overwhelming and many stories surrounding birth are scary. But the truth is, Birth is a NORMAL, NATURAL, and BEAUTIFUL event. This Built To Birth Podcast exists to share Mama's TRUE and POSITIVE birth stores to remind and inspire Mamas that they are BUILT TO BIRTH! I'm Bridget and I'm a childbirth educator, doula, and fellow mama and it's my passion to help women discover their strength and power in pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. Birth is the beginning of a new life for both a new baby and a new mother, so it's my goal to help you begin that journey in a positive and empowered way through education and real and uplifting stories from mamas just like you.

#15: Shannon's Birth Story
Join me today for my sister in love's birth story! She chose to switch care from a traditional OBGYN at the hospital to a midwife for a homebirth and having her home birth was one of the best decisions Shannon made for her labor and delivery experience.
In this positive birth story episode we chat about how ANYONE can have a homebirth. So many women think you have to be a certain type of person to have a homebirth. The truth is, anyone can have a home birth and I think this story is a beautiful example of how true that is!
Enjoy this podcast about giving birth at home!

#14: Marieta's Birth Story
Speaking up for yourself and your birth preferences is hard to do as a pregnant and birthing woman especially when things don't go according to plan and you need more answers than you're getting. In this Episode of the Built To Birth Podcast, Marieta shares her POSITIVE BIRTH STORY including how she chose between an OBGYN and a Midwife for her hospital birth, her amniotic fluid leaking before labor began, and her induction without epidural using Cervidil. If you need some encouragement on how to speak up, be bold, and find courage in asking questions to your care provider, you are going to love Marieta's birth story.

#13: Kristina's Birth Story
In Episode 13 of the Built To Birth Podcast, Kristina shares her TWO birth experiences, both at a birthing center but the first being somewhat traumatic and the second being healing and empowering. Kristina talks about everything from raspberry leaf tea to induce labor, back labor, transition, different labor positions, to what do contractions feel like, postpartum care, and beyond! I absolutely LOVED chatting with Kristina and hearing her labor and delivery story and I know you will too!

Customer Reviews
The best doula
I love Bridget’s take on birthing! She is so gentle and knowledgeable with what she teaches. Love all of her resources!!
Tess’ birth story
I just want to thank you and Tess for the encouragement at the end of the story. I am currently 40+5 with my first and impending an induction at a hospital with my OB in 4 days. My plan was to go unmedicated, go into spontaneous labor and labor at home as long as possible but my OB insists on inducing.
Being so heartbroken and feel that all of my homework and research over the last few months has gone to waste, it was great to hear the great message at the end. I am a wreck! Feeling frustrated with my body (my cervix is poster and hasn’t budged) even after doing all the things to try and prep my cervix over the last 11 weeks, it was so great to hear this it is ok to not be ok! So many emotions rolling through my head and feeling the pressure from my OB and feeling not listened to is hard!
I want to thank you and your podcast for helping me feel positive and encouraged to keep my head up.
Enjoyed listening except for…
I enjoyed this podcast and benefitted from hearing others birth stories as a FTM due in December. My only piece of feedback is that the host’s active listening “hmm”s in the background were extremely distracting.
