Trust your body.
In this episode, Stages of Labor, we talk about trusting your body to experience the amazing journey of labor and embracing each unique stage with it’s own lessons and rewards. “How will I know when to go to birthing center?” and “Do I need to time my contractions?" are some of the questions that will be addressed by Carolyn and her guest April Kline.
“You could be 2cm and your labor could go on for three weeks. You could be 2cm and have a baby in an hour. It really is not valuable information except in that we know your body is doing something. ”
