35 - Birth With Confidence With Rhea Dempsey

35 - Birth With Confidence With Rhea Dempsey

This episode is a must for those preparing for labour and birth and for those, including birth partners, who will be present during a labour and birth. We were lucky enough to speak with well-known, Rhea Dempsey, who over the last 40 years has attended thousands of births.

This was such a fascinating chat about:

  • The stats mothers are up against birthing in this modern world
  • Understanding pain in labour - functional physiological pain vs pathological pain
  • The hormonal changes that happen during normal physiological birth - the dance between Queen Oxytocin, Endorphins, and Adrenaline
  • The similarities between Runner's High and "the magic of 7cm" during normal physiological birth
  • The "Crisis of Confidence" many women face throughout labour
  • How to prepare for a powerful, positive birth with tips on creating a conducive environment, when the right time is to get into a birth pool, as well as Rhea's thoughts on tools like the birth comb and the TENS machine

If you are wanting to learn more, Rhea has two phenomenal books - Birth With Confidence and Beyond The Birth Plan.
