Do not simply write “delayed cord clamping” on your birth plan.

Define it.

Because your definition of delayed may be very different from your provider's.

For one provider, delayed means 30 seconds.

For another, it may mean 1 or 2 minutes.

For you, it might mean waiting until the cord stops pulsing or turns white.

This is exactly why birth plan language matters.

Instead of saying: “I prefer delayed cord clamping.”

Try:

💗 “I decline cord clamping until the cord stops pulsing.”

Or:

💗 “Do not clamp the cord until I give consent.”

The research and evidence show that AROM by itself does not shorten spontaneous labor on average for first time mothers.

But when choosing an induction, breaking the water combined with Pitocin may support the induction being effective.

And it can support more effective contractions for a second-time mom, but not a first time mom.

✅ Potential benefits:

1️⃣ Drug free way to encourage stronger contractions for a second time parent.

2️⃣ May reduce the need for Pitocin in some people who have given birth before.

3️⃣ When combined with Pitocin during an induction, it can increase the likelihood of vaginal birth within 24 hours.

⚠️ Potential risks:

1️⃣ Once the water is broken, there is no going back.

2️⃣ Infection risk increases the longer the membranes are ruptured.

3️⃣ It may lead to more painful contractions.

4️⃣ It opens the door to additional interventions like internal monitoring.

Most of the time, a ROM is completely unnecessary, but in rare circumstances it may be helpful.

The evidence-based episiotomy is 1%.

An episiotomy should only be performed in the presence of a true emergency.

Cutting the tissue because it seems like a "tight fit" is not an appropriate use of episiotomy.

Cutting the tissue because the baby is suspected to be big is not an appropriate use of episiotomy.

And the idea that episiotomy creates a clean cut that is easier to sew up has been disproven by evidence.

It is always better to tear naturally.

✨91% of my private coaching clients did not tear.✨

Stacy says: "It's okay to invest in birth. Because it's the most important experience that you're ever going to have.

It's the start of your baby's life.

There's nothing more beautiful than to give your baby a peaceful start.

My pregnancy was so stressful. I was like, I want this start of his life to be calm, peaceful. I want there to be love and just calm.

If you don't take the course and you don't know what to advocate for, there's a lot that can go wrong.

I knew exactly what I wanted, what the evidence was behind everything. So I could make a birth plan and really explain to them why I wanted it like that.

Every new mom just needs to be educated. And I feel like the best way to do that is with you.

I really feel like it made all the difference."

A membrane sweep is an intervention.

Calling it “natural” does not change that.

Inserting fingers through the cervix and manually separating the membranes in an attempt to stimulate labor it’s not natural.

This is a mechanical induction tool.

It can definitely be helpful on a case-by-case basis.

But tools can be harmful when performed routinely on moms who don’t need them.

Your brand new baby is not manipulating you.

They are not developing a “bad habit” because you hold them, respond to them, or offer the breast when they ask for it.

They just spent their entire existence inside of your body.

We live in a hyper-independent culture where everyone seems to be concerned about your child's ability to be independent.

But independence comes later through interdependence, not through denying what is biologically normal.

Breastfed newborns commonly feed 8 to 12 times in 24 hours, and both the AAP and WHO support responsive feeding based on the baby's cues.

A cervical exam is most useful when the information could actually change the course of action.

Otherwise, routine cervical exams do not improve outcomes for mothers and babies.

Evidence Based Birth lists the potential benefits of cervical exams as gaining information that may help with decisions, including decisions around induction. The risks include pain, discomfort, trauma, and increased infection risk.

So before saying yes, ask:

“What will we do differently based on the result?”

If you are coping well, the baby sounds great, labor is progressing, and nobody plans to change anything based on what they find…

Why get an exam?

Provider convenience is not at the center. Rather, the mother is at the center

This is what a mother-led birth looks like.

She is birthing her baby.

She moves when her body tells her to move.

She pushes when her body tells her to push.

So rather than birth happening to her, it is happening through her.

Held in the container of love and safety.

Preparing for a natural birth is heavily focused on what to do during contractions.

But how you respond between the contractions impacts how the next contraction goes.

One of my favorite labor tools is to take a cleansing breath at the end of every contraction.

Take a big breath in with an audible exhale.

With a quick body scan to release tension throughout your whole body.

Your job from beginning to end is to relax.

The moments between contractions offer you an opportunity to connect with relaxation.

Which will make the next contraction more effective.

You’ve got this!!

✨96% of my private coaching clients had an unmedicated birth.✨

Stacy says: "Before I found you, I was scared of birth. I always said I want to become a mother, but I don't want to give birth — so I'm going to adopt.

And then I got pregnant, and I was like, okay, now there's no way back.

I could trust my body. I could trust my baby going into this experience.

You took a lot of my fear away. I was like, yeah, I can do this. My body's made for this.

I genuinely believed that. And I literally got the birth that I wanted.

I wouldn't be able to advocate for myself if I did not know all that information.

Birth doesn't have to be traumatic. I refuse to believe that. Because it doesn't have to be like that.

I literally have my baby because of you."
