In this episode, my friend Cierra shares her traumatic birth experience with her first, and her amazing, empowered birth experience with her second after taking Birth it Up!

Cierra’s Birth Story:

After having a traumatic 1st birth of her son, Cierra wanted to have a different experience with the birth of her daughter. Switching providers and educating herself lead to the unmedicated water birth she dreamed of. She had some hurdles breastfeeding at first, but was able to go on to exclusively breast feed for 4 months and counting.

Cierra’s Bio:

Cierra is from Dayton Ohio. She’s married to her husband, Nathan, and a stay at home mom to her two children, Ezekiel and Hannah.

30+ Lessons with Teaching Videos!

I will hold your hand through this entire series. This isn’t the kind of course where I leave you a book to read. I’m going to be talking to you throughout this whole course, and explaining EXACTLY what you need to know about what’s going to happen in your upcoming birth.

From how your body preps for labor, to what to do if you can’t effectively push with your epidural, we are going to go over all of it.
