“I love the Oh Baybee! Podcast”...

After giving birth and coaching lots of pregnant women through their birth preparation, here’s what I learned.

To call giving birth for the first time a whirlwind would be an understatement. 

My water broke at 5pm on Friday but my son wasn't born until 8:03pm on Saturday (yes, you read that right!).

It was both rewarding and exhausting…and I won’t lie, I had to "lock in" with my focus a few times throughout labor to keep my eyes on the prize - because although the contractions were heavy hitting – hearing my baby's first cry was literally a dream come true for me.

Now if you’ve been with me for a while, you probably know that there's a lot to learn about the entire experience of birth preparation, childbirth and breastfeeding.  

In true Stephanie Poole fashion, I wasn't prepared as much as I could have been, simply because it was my first pregnancy, and I didn't know - what I didn't know!

I’m happy to report that my sweet baby was born happy and healthy – but of course, ther...

Flag down on the play...if you're able to recognize these 3 things when it comes to planning for your birth.

If I had a dollar for every time, I heard a new mom say: "Giving birth is hard. I wish I would've know this. I would have prepared more for my birth." - I’d be a very rich woman. And I’ll be honest, one of the most fun (and rewarding) parts of being a childbirth educator is the opportunity to help more pregnant women have a positive birth experience.

In this episode I'll tell you 3 blaring signs to know whether or not you're ready for birth.

So, grab your notebook and be sure to take notes, because what you’re about to hear could save you a lot of time and money When it comes to preparing for the arrival of your sweet baby!

As always, thank you for tuning in to this episode and...
Happy Birthing!

The step-by-step birth prep system behind my proven program, Bump To Bundle Blueprint®

If you had told me years ago that one day, I would have created a program to help moms prepare for birth, I probably would've called your bluff.

And I just might do that — but for now, tune in to this episode to get my 4-phase process I use with my clients to get them ready for birth.

You’ll hear about the difference between a birth plan and a birth blueprint, the specific areas I focus on when preparing my clients, and about all of the little birthing nuances that other childbirth educators tend to skip over.

So, if you want to start preparing for birth, o...
