Who's afraid of vaginal tearing during birth? Um...none of us want to tear our lady bits! We hear this all the time over on IG. We know this fear is filling your brain right now. So Trish is breaking it down today.
Vaginas are made to stretch and accommodate your baby. A vaginal tear is your body's natural response to a need for more room for the baby your body built.
I want to help you arm yourself with knowledge. Knowledge is power. Knowledge combats fear. We love to disarm fears around here.
Fear and birth are a terrible mix.
Trish will break it all down in her particular unorthodox view of birth and all the fear surrounding it. Listen in, and let's talk about what vaginal tearing is, why it happens, who it happens to, and what you can do to TRY to prevent it.

Trish is talking all things labor today, sharing tips for early labor and how to know when labor has arrived.
“Answering that age old question every mama asks, whether it's your first time or your third time.
We all at some point think to ourselves, “How am I going to know if I am in labor?” So don't worry, we're going to clear it up in the most laid back, Trish way, possible.
Labor will absolutely, without a doubt, declare itself. So grab a snack, get comfy, and let's dive in.” - Trish
