Everything First-Time Moms Need to Know About A Positive Pregnancy, Labor & Postpartum with Lori Bregman

On today’s episode, I’m joined by my doula, Lori Bregman, for an honest and empowering conversation about everything first-time moms need to know to prepare for pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Lori shares what doulas actually do, how to choose the right care provider, and why educating yourself before birth can help you feel more confident and avoid unnecessary birth trauma. We also discuss the truth about inductions and C-sections, how to advocate for yourself during labor, ways to prepare your body for birth, what can help reduce tearing, and how to protect your energy throughout pregnancy. Lori also shares her framework for postpartum recovery, including the importance of building a support system, setting realistic expectations, and prioritizing healing during the first 40 days after birth. Whether you're currently pregnant, trying to conceive, or simply want to feel more informed about the birth experience, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you feel prepared and empowered. Enjoy!
