L&D Nurse On What Actually Happens During Labor and Delivery Part 2

Use the discount code CURTIS for $10 off your kit now on www.anjahealth.com/shop! In this episode of the Anja Health Podcast, we dive deep into the world of labor and delivery with Michelle Curtis, an experienced labor and delivery nurse at Cedars Sinai.

Whether you're a first-time parent seeking insights or simply curious about the process, this serious and informative conversation will provide valuable content on various aspects of childbirth.

Join us as we explore the preparations that first-time parents should consider, decipher the signs leading up to labor, and distinguish between losing the mucus plug and the water breaking. Michelle shares her expertise on what labor is like for first-time parents and sheds light on the timing of deliveries.

In the second segment, we delve into the 4-1-1 rule for labor, offering clarity on when to head to the hospital. We discuss the stages of labor, from cervix dilation to afterbirth recovery, and tackle common questions about the duration of each stage, the level of pain involved, and the most intense moments during labor. Curious about eating, drinking, and sleeping during labor? We've got answers.

For those considering epidurals, we address the big questions:

Does labor still hurt with an epidural?

What's the window for getting one?

How long does it last, and do you still feel the urge to push?

We also explore different pushing positions, the infamous "ring of fire," and the sensations during childbirth with an epidural.

Plus, find out how soon you can walk after receiving one.
