[Birth Stories] Birth: Not as Bad as Hiking the Machu Picchu Trail

Shelley Wylie shares with Adriana how marvelous it can be to see your partner really have your back and tell the nurse to wait until your contraction is over, how labor is not as horrendous as the Machu Picchu trail, and how you can absolutely have a lovely birth, even if you have to come undone and regather yourself in the process. She also highly recommends that if you dislike the tub, try the shower! Sponsor offers - TIME SENSITIVE! AQUATRU - Get 20% off any AquaTru purifier at AquaTru.com with promo code BIRTHFULNEEDED - Get 20% off your first order at thisisneeded.com with promo code BIRTHFULTONIES - Get 15% off at us.tonies.com/BIRTHFULHONEYLOVE - Get 20% OFF at honeylove.com/birthful with promo code BIRTHFULJENNI KAYNE - Get 15% off at jennikayne.com/birthful with promo code BIRTHFULONESKIN - Get 15% off at https://www.oneskin.co/ with promo code BIRTHFULHELLO FRESH - Get 50% off at hellofresh.com/birthful50 with the code BIRTHFUL50 (plus free shipping!)THE LACTATION NETWORK - Got to TLN.care/BIRTHFUL to schedule your insurance-covered lactation consultation
