In this Episode

Aly sits down with her own doula, Abby Morris of Sleep Child O'Mine, to explore something often overlooked in birth prep: how movement during labor can completely shift the experience. Abby brings real-world wisdom about why staying mobile isn't just comfortable—it's strategic.

She walks through specific positions and props that work with the body's design. But what makes this conversation distinct is Abby's emphasis on preparation that goes beyond the physical. She outlines four pillars—physical conditioning, mental health support, pelvic floor assessment, and trauma resolution—explaining how the mind-body connection intensifies during labor. Listeners walk away with practical tools for advocating for movement in any birth setting and understanding that labor is as much a mental journey as a physical one.

Even if you aren’t expecting, this episodes has take-aways for how to overcome challenges through movement.
