Is it hard for you to imagine yourself giving birth with no epidural and having a positive birth story? Many women, because of fear surrounding birth, don’t believe that their body is capable of a natural labor and delivery. In today’s Built to Birth Podcast, Crissa shares her journey from thinking that an epidural was her only option to believing that she truly is BUILT TO BIRTH without an epidural. And Mama, you are built to birth too! Whether you want to labor without an epidural or with one, it’s important to know and believe that you are capable of having a positive birth story and making whatever decisions are necessary from a place of empowerment. Knowing how to have a calm birth is so powerful whether you want the least or the most interventions in your birth experience. In Crissa’s calm birth story, she talks about her membrane sweep, laboring as long as possible at home, using a birth ball in labor, and using visualization. You are going to love her insight and encouragement no matter what kind of birth you are desiring - Enjoy Crissa’s empowering natural birth story!

But as she learned more about natural birth, everything began to change. After feeling dismissed in her original care, Hannah and her husband decided to step outside what everyone around them had done and switch to a birth center. That decision came with plenty of opinions—including people telling her that because of her size and the possibility of a big baby, she wouldn't be able to give birth naturally and would need a C-section. In this episode of the Built To Birth Podcast, Hannah shares how she went from fearing birth to trusting her body, preparing for an unmedicated birth, going past her due date, and ultimately having an empowering natural water birth at a birth center. She talks about what helped her through contractions, how water completely changed her labor, what it felt like when her body began pushing on its own, and the moment she reached down and felt her baby's head. And perhaps the best part? Moments after her daughter was born, Hannah looked at her husband and said, “I want to do this again.” If you're preparing for birth—whether you're planning a hospital birth, birth center birth, or home birth—I hope Hannah's story reminds you how powerful it can be to educate yourself, build a team you trust, and make the decisions that feel right for your family.
